Ratings and reviews

I am torn about my rating. On the one hand, I loved playing it. I love how each place tells the story of the main character. The game is soothing and it's cute. On the other hand, there are only eight levels. I was thinking I had completed the first world, not the entire game. That was really disappointing. Ultimately I'm giving it five stars because it was a great game and I didn't encounter any bugs. But the main story is pretty short (maybe 5 hours?) for how much the game costs.

Hi! I just want to say this game is really fun, and a good time spender. It's got a cute story, and it's fun being able to sort of customize her home environment, even if just a little bit. But I do have a complaint, I got to the house that has the entryway, and then the next time I entered the game, all of my progress got wiped, like I had to select a new book and everything. It's a little irritating because now I have to restart, so I gave it a 3. This game is great otherwise though!

Played it on switch, and just had to get it on mobile as well. Great chill game, just perfect to relax to, enjoy the relaxing music, as you unpack things. Cool thing is there is some odd stuff out can do like placing items in odd places to get stickers/achievements for. No time limits to worry about, and you can even set the game to let you place items anywhere you want. Game tells its story through unpacking from place to place.
