I was playing this and my wife said "ya' know, you could organize your boxes in storage."
Gamers truly are a victim class 😥

This calming, addicting, and satisfying game was a joy. The way it told a story through the person's things was an unexpected treat. I played it in one sitting, which isn't usually my style.

I very much enjoyed putting together the little story of this womans life it was nice seeing the small items she cherishes go with her too and slowly age, chip rip etc. Some items made me laugh out loud and the game made me feel nostalgic in a way few others have. I've moved maybe 20 times and connected hard …

I have some free days this week so I´ll be beating my game pass subscription with wonderful indies like this one. It's a really fun and cozy game that surprised me with its narrative. I recommend it a lot if you´re stressed or depressed, it´s so relaxing putting rooms in order, consider it like a virtual and playable mandala jsjsjs.

A sweet, immersive, cozy game that I completely chose the wrong time in my life to play. I'm moving it to my backlog until I'm in a better headspace for it (right now I'm going stir-crazy from the realization I've lived in the same room for nearly 30 years among other neuroses).

Drop. No es para mí. Fabuloso concepto con una ejecución más que decente, pero a la hora ya sentía que no tenía mucho que aportarme. La decisión viene antes de mi criba personal que de los problemas del juego.
También es verdad que haberme pillado este juego en medio de una mudanza no ayuda.

I REALLY liked the concept of this game. I wish there was more content and a more complex storyline. I bought it when it was on sale and felt satisfied with a couple of hours of happy playtime.

Not a bad little Gamecube collection. That's The Simpsons: Hit and Run, Mario Kart: Double Dash, Puyo Pop Fever, Wind Waker (kind of?) and Animal Crossing.

Brilliant game with a very unique game style. Very relaxing to play.

Perhaps this is one of those games in which the concept is cooler to think about than to play. Yeah, I get it, some things you carry around since you're young, some things you pick up later in life. Some times you can control your space, sometimes you don't. The points are made and are valid. But no matter how …

But no matter how expertly crafted the game is, you're still just clicking sound moving objects.
