Beautifully made, original and enjoyable overall, but I was a bit disappointed it turned out so short – I finished it in 3 hours and a bit, and that included poking and wandering around to figure out how some of the puzzles worked, trying numerous flower combinations for making the keys and shields (I'm really not good at remembering sequences of sounds), interacting with bits of the environment which don't affect the progress, going through all the dialogue options, etc. Unless you happen to enjoy playing the exact same game in the exact same way multiple times, there's also not much potential for replay, so I'd say overall it's a pricey way of spending an afternoon at home. This said, if you're not short on cash or looking for something that will keep you entertained for weeks, go for it, it's a small gem but a gem nonetheless.

I got stuck 2 minutes into the game because I can't find the "summer's house" blueprint in the "build" menu anywhere, all I have is the "garden" blueprint. And YES, I can see there are other icons at the top of the menu which apparently contain the blueprint I need, but NO, none of the active keys allow me to switch between them. In fact I tried every single key on my keyboard (including "1" and "2", both on the keyboard and the number pad) and none of them have the desired effect. Maybe this problem comes from using an azerty keyboard? I'll give it three stars because it looks like a promising game, not more because I didn't actually get to play it.
