Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
143 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'll get to the music, which is also fantastic, and I just got over talking about how much I liked the puzzles, their implementation, and all the extras you can look through, but the story really touched my heart and made me just... feel.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
75 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Amazing art and visuals, great story, fun gameplay and well-written characters you can't help but fall in love with!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Unlocking new songs and getting to listen to them throughout the work day was such a treat and I immediately bought the OST on Steam so I could keep listening to once I finished the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
43 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The animation style is charming and fun; I'm really happy to see a game that has a more unique art style (reminds me of Scott Pilgrim) and not the same high-res bubble characters I've been seeing in indie games lately that lack personality and make my poor little PC run like trash.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The vibes are immaculate, the mini-puzzles are varied and fun and the character design is especially good - they really feel like people you've met before!
