Ratings and reviews

A lovely and cozy game. I love looking at the artstyle of this game so much, it's gorgeous! The puzzles are good. When they are hard, they are still answerable so it doesn't become frustating. Sometimes, there was a bit of a problem where my touch didn't seem to be responsive so i needed to tap the object more than once or twice. I don't know why it happened because for the most parts they were responsive to the touch. Overall an enjoyable and wholesome experience. Thanks for creating this.

I think the game could work without the moving white border animation [it's too bright and it's flashing]. I guess it's the movement but it's giving me headache literally. There are many things I like especially the art and puzzles but I can't finish the game because of it. I hope there would be versions without that.

Beautiful storyline. The puzzles are just nice and not too difficult. Considering there weren't direct hints being given to solve any of puzzles, it is very much doable to solve it. A skip button would be great to skip the story telling scene because it takes so much time to wait. But overall really love the graphics, the music, the storyline as well!
