133 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It’s fairly wholesome and focuses on the intimate undertones between the two characters.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
95 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack consists of light acoustic melodies, ambient nature tones, and quiet instrumental flourishes that never distract from the meditative pacing.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'd recommend it to anyone who likes Sherlock Holmes (you don't have to be a super fan to still get a few of the references) and anyone who likes spending a few relaxing hours exploring a small world and its small mysteries.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style feels handcrafted, reminiscent of picture books painted with watercolor and ink, full of soft brush textures, rounded silhouettes, and earthy, welcoming color palettes.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's very easily forgivable, especially since the devs seem to be patching everything so quickly whenever a new glitch is reported.
