How it feels
A wistful, emotional journey through childhood memories, gently paced and deeply evocative of 1980s Japan.

What players say
Players call it a heartfelt time-travel adventure about a boy fixing his family's future, but warn the story is linear with no real choices. The voxel art and collection log earn praise, while the slow pace and lack of fast-forward frustrate some. Reviews split on the plot: many find it touching and nostalgic, others say it is predictable.
