A proper narrative puzzle RPG with a desperately gorgeous setting which left me wishing for sit interactions to slow down and fully appreciate the spaces I was entering into, especially after one of the characters had invited me for tea!

The alchemical mechanics are nicely thought out and the puzzle design is strongest when it really leans into making you think about how to use each material.

A beautiful game from top to bottom with a soundtrack to pair, with a story soaked in how people grieve unexpected losses.
