画风如此美味的游戏居然是免费的,作者快出下一章!!!
好玩,夯暴了
completed all the achievements in about 3 and a half hours or so. genuinely really enjoyed this i cant wait for more whenever that may be. biggest disappointment was learning this was only chapter one and more havent been released yet. absolutely recommend this, especially because its free. small nitpick is the lack of a right facing character sprite if only because it slightly bothers me that dema and paper only seem to face one direction at all times

incrível pensar que o jogo provavelmente foi feito usando todo orçamento nos designs e cenários, sobrando quase nada para as musicas e tiveram que pegar musicas no youtube e colocarem nos créditos e isso pode acabar nem sendo visto por que nunca esperamos que um jogo de um nível e potencial bem alto usar algumas musicas sem copyright. os puzzles são bem fáceis e não precisa usar muito do cérebro para passar de fase, eu sinceramente não vi quase nenhum puzzle, parece que tem muito mais ação ou perseguição do que puzzles. os personagens são bem legais e diferentes um do outro, cada um tendo um tema especifico, designs também são incríveis para os personagens, eu fiquei confuso assim como todo mundo que jogou ao ver que delirini tem design parecido com uma mulher e os pronomes nos dialogos são masculinos, sendo uma revelação de nível matrix ao saber que na verdade é um homem e não uma mulher.
Думаю даже в платной основе было бы хорошо, игра прикольная
El mejor juego que jugue en mi vida
11/10
игра очень красочная и красивая
{ 10/10 Art | | 9/10 music | | 6/10 gameplay } This game was such a cute and enjoyable time. I have to say that the art is phenomenal. It's so beautifully made, and it gets elevated with it's music selection. I would highly recommend playing just to experience a great vibe. Overall the game wasn't challenging or difficult to follow. The gameplay was rather lacking not much from the player input was required. It is more like a show to experience (which is awesome) than an interactive game. It's also pretty short which means it's really easy to finish it in a day (or take your time on it and enjoy the scenery and great music).
