I must say I prefer the slightly more naturalistic art style for the environments from Boku No Natsuyasumi 3, but the art style here does match the simple, cartoonish look of the characters far better.

On Steam Deck and mid-range PCs, the game performs well, though there are occasional dips in busier areas like the circus grounds or dense forests.
Audio

Voice acting is pretty consistently solid, though once again it is a little underused due to the sparse dialogue.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
4 of 120 sampled reviews raised it
Technically, the PC version runs well for the most part, with options to toggle between 30 and 60 FPS and adjust overall visual quality.
