It's a pop-up book
Remember those intricate pop-up books from your childhood? When you opened it, a castle folded up, you could open the door and there was the prince, the princess, and when you moved a little lever they waved at you? This is the basic gist of this "game" as well, when it comes to mechanics. You "control" it through very simple gestures and interactions, pushing the story forward (without being able to influence how it goes). Some of these are REALLY clever, and really amp up the emotion of certain scenes - though it doesn't change the fact they are basically just more interesting and fitting ways to flip a page in a picture book. The story itself is about a Girl, and her first big Love. And it goes exactly the way all these stories go. You've seen this a million times, it happened to literally all of us, and despite how personal it tries to be, it adds very little new, and stays on a thin surface level. It comes dangerously close to being bland. All that said, I don't want to be ungrateful, and I'm not going to lie about it: indeed, it managed to really move me at times. On one hand, it's due to me being a dummy, but on the other, there are definitely points, where the pretty visuals, the nice music and the well thought-out gestures really come together. There is something interesting and captivating here, but - despite the attractive packaging - it's only very partially realized. Lengthwise, and considering the style this definitely feels like a mobile game, as it is incredibly short and there's no challenge to it whatsoever - yet, I'd say the graphics work way better on a big screen and the controls work just fine with a mouse. I don't regret my purchase, but be sure to keep the things above in mind and set your expectations accordingly before buying.
