[h1]A sweet and cozy GameBoy adventure about a bunny helping their friends run the town's festival again![/h1]
[i]Marron's Day[/i] is an adorable, GameBoy styled title, that follows Marron's quest to restore the town's festival. Throughout the day, they'll have to convince and help their friends in order to get the event running! It's nice, short, sweet, fun... has it all really!! The game wasn't just made to ressemble GBC graphics however: This game RUNS on a GameBoy! Isn't that awesome? Throughout the day you will have to fulfill the townsfolks requests so they can run their stands at the festival: find interesting rocks, collect strange fish, help a friend overcome their social anxiety, or try out some new seeds for a friend; amongst many other activities. It has a wonderful cozy vibe, just talk with your neighbours, help them out, do some fun side activities... gave me Animal Crossing vibes* (haven't played much Animal Crossing so I may be completely wrong there). The GB aesthetics and music also gave it a Pokémon hint to it all (despite there being no monster catching mechanics). It's just a nice, relaxing, and kind of nostalgic adventure...
The ending is really sweet too! Well, it's a shame you need to replay the festival 4 times to check all the stands, but it's super cute, and really worth it, since they all add little details and side activities to the town! In my headcannon, Marron was invited to try all the stands out, even after they ran out of coins. And speaking of the festival, let's just say there are some [b]amazing[/b] easter eggs there and I absolutely loved all the ones I got: very rewarding for npckc fans! Further more, there is also a really well hidden area in the game that is super rewarding to find (and hides some extra content if you go after 100% completion). It made me feel like a child again for a second, finding such well hidden area that is only hinted at you by one character.
Finally, we have the prologue: A small story set on the day before the main game's events. Your friend Mugi lost his bouquet, which means he can't go to the dance festival! Now it's up to Marron to save the day once more and find the missing flowers. It's basically, a byte sized version of this byte sized game (so much so, that you can't even save). It's very fun and the ending is super super sweet! Not much else to say other than that: It's just a little bit more of the cutessy world of Marron.
No npckc could be without any sort of LGBTQ+ represantation... okay not all their games have it, but it's almost a staple really. In Marron's Day's case, it's quite subtle: Some neighbour may be arromantic, asexual, (or both), others may prefer they/them pronouns, and well... you know, one of the easter eggs in the festival. I'm not completely sure if there are openly gay relationships since usually the gender of the neighbours is not specified, but either way, what I mean is: npckc fans, you will feel at home here too~
I think it's fair to say, that I quite recommend this game. It's great! Nice, cute, relaxing... very very sweet. At first I thought the price was a little high, and I still think it is a bit, but despite that, I highly recommend it!
