整體遊玩時間蠻短的解謎小品 有不同結局可以去探索 繪本畫風 但內容不算適合小孩 究竟是他們飽受疾病折磨 還是我們深受規範所困呢?
Such a cool puzzle game! Unique story, great artwork, and as an avid point & click puzzle game player I really appreciated that the game didn't make you run around the map for each new puzzle as you progressed. Very streamlined but still challenging enough to keep it interesting. Highly recommend!

This game is soft spoken and sweetly drawn with a few amusing scenarios and puzzles. I was enjoying it, but then it was abruptly over. So, as a storyline, I don't understand why it went to the trouble to point to something that did not seem to come to fruition. But still, it has charming elements.
엔딩까지 1시간 미만걸리고 생각보다 퍼즐류 익숙하시면 금방 끝나는데 나름 재미있고 신박합니다 퍼즐 안 화나게 잘 만들었습니다 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 퍼즐류 그래도 이악물고 할 수 있게 도와줘서 화는 안나는 좋은 게임
很精巧的解谜小游戏,2h通关,猫猫🐈超可爱,用手绘画风和非线性时间线讲一个并不简单的故事,最后一道谜题带动逻辑闭环简直太妙!真相有时是谎言,who am I?
这个成就好容易漏,画风是铅笔画,剧情有点意识流,虽然我知道流程不长,但是能不能设置一个章节补,因为手快重新开了八次差点绝望了
short but excellent!
Awesome game!
Nice and weird
+ ładna rysunkowa grafika + dobrze wymyślone puzzle + dodatkowa plansza dostępna po otwarciu pewnego pliku w folderze gry B) (po zakończeniu głównej rozgrywki) + ukryte koty - bardzo krótka (2h) - żeby zobaczyć oba zakończenia, trzeba ją przeklikać od początku (choć nie zajmuje to długo)
