Outside of the lovely painted-like story cutscenes, there's a lot of visual story-telling in the paintings and architecture.

Scarf is a charming puzzle platformer with gorgeous visuals, similar to Rime.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.

The level design is also very good with the map winding in on itself, good use of terrain and an interesting water mechanic.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
17 of 154 sampled reviews raised it
Personally I think it has a soundtrack that is a solid 9/10, Game play is simple but also provides difficulty.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 154 sampled reviews raised it
The pleasant light soundtrack further emphasises the cozy nature of Scarf, but the characters constant vocal interjections were a tad vexing.
