It’s unusual that the story is dealing with such common human problems, but it’s not the only unusual thing about this game.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Another unusual thing about the game is how open world it is.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
49 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Complementing the art is a soundtrack by Chris Schlarb that perfectly captures the tone of each area.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are wonderfully drawn and animated with bright pastel colours and chunky pixel art, the music is really fun and varied, the strange and interesting world that's weird in all the right ways, the many characters are fun to meet and even more so when you solve their problems.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The puzzles aren't super hard nor are they too easy, it had a nice mix of difficulty along with a well utilized day/night mechanic.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The character arc, the build-up, the pacing, the direction and the twist at the end is expertly executed, even if it seems a little bizarre.
