What players say
Players call this a short, satisfying puzzle game about friendship and memories, told without dialogue. The time-manipulation puzzles are gentle and never stress you, while the hand-painted visuals and soundtrack create a cozy but melancholic mood. Most finish in 2-3 hours and find the ending bittersweet.
