Süßes und entschleunigendes Spiel. Kindlich anmutende Story und charmante Animationen. Bin gespannt, was mich noch so erwartet. <3
A cute little puzzle game. Great art style!
Great handcrafted art and atmosphere with chill & relaxing loops.
Absolut Cozy Abenteuer in einer verspielten, märchenhaften Welt. Der Fog of War (eine Bezeichnung, die hier absolut nicht passt) reagiert meditativ verzögert und sorgt so dafür, dass das Erkunden der Spielwelt noch verträumter ist.
Es ist ein süßer Zeitvertreib Letty zu helfen. Manchmal bin ich ein wenig lost, aber das gehört zum spiel dazu.
The pencil artwork is super cute, letty’s expressions are so sweet. i could honestly wiggle around with her in the grass all day and never get bored. Exploring the summer nights and all the little settings feels really magical and cozy. the Sound design is adorable too — especially when she goes “whueeey”, it makes me smile every time. Menus and text are easy to understand (my impatient brain wishes some things faded in a tiny bit faster, but that’s really minor). Can’t wait for the next chapters and the pencilled story to unfold!! 💫
Pencil Stories überzeugt mit seinem einzigartigen handgezeichneten Stil und einer ruhigen, emotionalen Atmosphäre. Die liebevoll erzählten Geschichten und das entspannte Gameplay laden zum Abschalten und Genießen ein. Ein kreatives, charmantes Spiel, das im Gedächtnis bleibt. Klare Empfehlung!
Lovely game, very chill vibes and good at putting you in a mood to sleep! like a lullaby! There is a whimsy and slowed pace to this game that is so relaxing.
A lovely game built with a lot of heart. Letty, the talking letter, is a charming klutz that definitely needs you to help her!
Super cute and cozy puzzle / searching game. If you are unpatient this game is probably not for you but otherwise it feels very relaxing and has adorable characters.
