The mechanics are still a bit rough (you can't rotate furniture, some sprites are awkwardly sized, adding tasteful clutter is tricky, etc.), but the bones are solid and I love that it's part of gameplay.

16 of 72 sampled reviews raised it
The art style for this game is so so charming and it reminds me of these dress-up paper dolls that my Nana used to give me and my sister as children!
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.

Swanworth tapped indie musician James Smith to compose the soundtrack, and James Smith knocked it out of the park.
