What players say

Players call it a short, cozy cooking and puzzle game that mixes creepy atmosphere with heartfelt warmth. It takes about 3 to 4 hours to finish, and many found the ending emotional. The puzzles are simple, the creatures endearing, and the game is widely seen as a perfect relaxing evening. A few wish it were longer or had an endless mode.
