By far one of my favorite puzzle games of the year so far... I have completed the game once so far and missed quite a few secrets and puzzles, but you can continue playing the game quite easily from the beginning. The visuals, soundtrack, whimsy, and heartfelt story were all excellent in my opinion. The message about the fragility of the environment is bittersweet and compelling. Give the game a try if you want something relaxing to play after a stressful day.
This is art, not a game. But art that makes you go through the same nice area for half an hour without any interesting mechanics or actual puzzles.. is just a boring chore.
Found it a tad slow at first, but stick to it. It's such a beautiful game, very sweet and relaxing. The story surprised me too.
Visual masterpiece with emotional storytelling.
A cozy little game with beautiful aesthetics. Cool nice puzzles, some hidden parts are really hidden, but that does not hinder the playthrough.
SO CUTE IF YOU LOVE DUCKS! AND NATURE AND CUTE ANIMALS
I am only 4 hours in but I LOVE this game so far. SO calming, but also the puzzles keep you in it and needing to focus. Chill but also rewarding. I love this game. If you are thinking about it, just buy it.
