How it feels

A charming, whimsical point-and-click adventure with a clever female protagonist, playful puzzles, and a funny story brought to life by pixel art and a great soundtrack.

What players say

Players are split on this point-and-click adventure. Many praise the retro pixel art and built-in hint system, but a consistent complaint targets the dialogue-heavy puzzles, which are described as tedious and opaque. There is no disagreement on the obtuse puzzle logic and overly long, boring dialogues, and several note the game ends on a cliffhanger.
