I have mixed feelings about this one. It's a great game, and the ending got me emotional as well, but I feel like we only scratched the surface of the world, the characters, and the plot. I've played lots of other short games that didn't leave me feeling this way, so I don't think the issue is the number of hours needed to finish the story. I just wish it had a bit more depth, especially considering its themes about technology and how humanity interacts with it. Oh, and if you love pixel art games (like I do): it's definitely pretty.

User Reviews
This story is incredible. The bartending mini-game is actually a small part of the game but it is enjoyable. I did multiple playthrough to explore every dialogue options and they do not disappoint ✨ A lot of questions are still left unanswered but it's giving a delightful feeling. The soundtrack is gold, Fingerspit is such a great composer. The visuals are so good, I just want all my screens to have a wallpaper with this pixel art!!!!
can't recommend enough. short, but that's the point. feel like it was made for me
Phenomenal game, pulled me in. Great characters and story. Bravo.
感觉一般。这个游戏的玩法还有剧情,都比较老,不说我还以为是二十年前的作品。
this game is short, aesthetic and also the story is good the plot twist is unpredictable, the cocktail mixing is fun and, every choices is matter. The music is good too and the background is beautiful overall the game is amazing, with pixel artstyle, fun minigame the con is the walk is really slow and feels awkward, especially in the pottery minigame
Great story
good
