Good writing and art, but very slow.
A game that makes your time invested in it worthwhile as it has a really good ending, but you’ll need some patience to get there. I really liked the art style and setting, with its vibrant colours and relaxing atmosphere. The music is a real treat, mellow and pleasant and always fitting with the mood. The little touches in the background animations and the simplistic yet emotive character expressions are fantastic. I did enjoy spending my time in the small town, which is a good thing as the game is pretty slow and for the majority of it, there doesn’t really seem to be a story. The character’s relationships develop over the days and each day brings something new, but they get repetitive as they follow a similar format. When the plot does decide to kick in, it’s over before you know it, and it does detract from some of what has gone before. I also don’t know why they decided to make some of the choices binary – a second play through to see everything doesn’t hold too much appeal. The platforming and mini games add some variety and challenge to the game, which although makes a refreshing change, they are very difficult to win. The light hearted moments are genuinely funny and I did feel nostalgia for my younger days. Although it surprised me in a number of good ways, I was often bored due to the slow, meandering progression system and lack of overarching plot.
