Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
TLDR: While the price is a little hefty for its length (about 10 hours if you don't reexplore every areas with all your newly unlocked powers and don't keep playing after the ending to get the 2nd ending), its a great game with a pleasant, cute and chill atmosphere, The combat works very well, though it isn't perfect.

I also played this on the steam deck and it runs flawlessly on the system and could argue that an experience like this was made for a handheld.
