Jeux détente et profond, qui fait du bien au morale en rappelant que, lors que l'on vie des choses dure et douloureuse on s'en sort pas à pas.
What an emotional rollercoaster. Absolutely loved the pixel art in this game and the story hit me in the feels by the end of it. I really enjoyed the chill, cosy vibes (with some dark moments at times).
A beautifully heartfelt game. The grief at the center of the story is something we're all faced with. This game opened some wounds for me but...gently. I never felt overwhelmed by the emotions it was bringing up. I did cry a few times but overall the vibe is soothing. I've seen some reviews saying they got bored with the gameplay loop. This definitely wasn't an issue for me. It probably helps that I love life sims so doing daily activities in a game is already something I enjoy. But I also love how this drove home that feeling of trying to continue with the little things while being worn down by grief. Just a lovely playthrough. Highly recommend.
This is a wonderfully made game. With an adoring artstyle, great and diverse characters and a compelling storytelling! I absolutely fell in love with it and in my opinion it's on the same levels as indie games such as undertale for me! I don't wanna spoil anything for anyone but it does get pretty dark here and there so trigger warning I guess. It is also a game about grief for anyone that might think that is too much for them to handle I would say play this game only when you are ready. Still with everything I cried multiple times because of the powerful dialogue and conversations between the characters! It is just that good it moved me to tears so I would recommend it to anyone!
很好玩耶，每天的互动重复度有点高，一次性打会有点难受。不过其实也不用老是做。画风很喜欢，里面的角色塑造也很不错。十分可以
