I give my full approval to this charming little game. It's an exploration / walking simulator made in RPG Maker, where you complete delivery jobs across three different islands. The plot is simple yet fulfilling, especially toward the end. The color palette consists of grey combined with one additional color depending on the location, which gives the game an elegant simplicity. Every piece of dialogue and interaction includes a light-hearted joke. It may not make you laugh out loud, but it will keep you in a good mood throughout. Only downside is the limitation of the RPG Maker engine. For example, the Steam interface does not work properly for taking screenshots or displaying achievements when they are obtained. Fortunately, this does not affect the overall gaming experience at all. I played it until the last achievement, something I don't usually do and it's one of the best compliments I can give.

User Reviews
Love the UI and overall aesthetic. The dialogue is snappy, charming and tongue-in-cheek. I've been enjoying my time with it -- a fair commentary on the gig economy. If I was being nitpicky, it'd be that I'd like to be able to move diagonally, especially on sizable maps. Praise the cactus!
Very unique and polished. Game's creator showed a lot of restraint and vision in their tone and style in this game. Very impressive little game. Please support!
