Playing feels like stepping into a whimsical, storybook adventure with a resourceful child protagonist, exploring a chilly pixel-art town and solving puzzles to maintain the lunar cycle.

What players say

Players praise the soundtrack and cute pixel art, but note the game is unfinished and buggy, with issues like unsaved language settings and poor English localization. It wears its Undertale inspiration on its sleeve, and players are split on whether the story and characters have enough depth.
