How it feels

You juggle building a monster while being interrupted by friends, creating a bittersweet, slightly frantic mix of dress-up and emotional reflection.

What players say

Players consistently praise the beautiful art and emotional writing about grief, and many report crying during the 30-to-60-minute runtime. Nearly every review notes the game is very short for its price, and some say the binary choice system makes the story feel less nuanced than the themes deserve.
