This was a pretty chill creepy-cute puzzle game. It is very short, less than 2 hours, which is the only downside. But then again, sometimes you have your fill of long games and want a nice short one. The hand drawn artstyle is very nice, and everything is made of bones and organs and stuff that should be gross, but instead it's real cute and relaxing. The puzzles are not too difficult and fun to discover the solutions.

The art style is what drew me into this game first and foremost. It is whimsical and so unique, the design just blew me away. The music is nice and relaxing which really matches the tone and feeling you get from actually playing the game. I think the controls were really fantastically translated to a controller. A lot of times point and click puzzle-type games like this can be too finicky with controls but this one felt really good while playing. The puzzles were varied in both challenge and design so the gameplay always felt fresh and allowed you to have breaks between more puzzling moments. The message wasn't too heavy-handed while still being really effectively conveyed to the player and it had an overall warm and positive story to follow. I absolutely love games like this that are relaxing, beautiful, and unique and I highly recommend this one!
