Luckily checkpoints are reasonably generous and even 'long' runbacks are trivial due to the speed your thread and dash allow.

The story feels heartfelt and intentional, and there's a lot of secrets and paths to go down.

The visuals, soundtrack and dialogue combine to really put you in the shoes of a whimsical fairy traipsing through the forest.

As someone who loves video games but is often bad at them and lacks the time and dedication needed to improve, I am very grateful for the customisable difficulty available via 'assist mode'.
Audio

From the sound design, to the cute, sometimes whimsical, and even philosophical dialogue, to the beatiful hand-drawn art this game has to offer, everything about Key Fairy is a labour of love from some talented devs.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

Gives me over the garden wall vibes but like after someone has deducted 50% of my braincells so I can't really piece toegether what's going on. it's a truly whimsical experience. movement is great, graphics are just absolutely awesome, i love games that remind me that i have an OLED. the "combat" so far has been sick.
