As cozy and warm as the stew
sludge <3 cute and short, puzzles are fairly simple graphics and story are charming demo (~15min) was representative of full game (~2hr)
Such a nice game! everything from the artstyle and the soundtrack, to the funny moments just makes this game so worth playing :D I know that there has been put so much effort into it, and you can really feel that! I can't wait to continue with more playthoughts and see what other secrets i might find! <3
Delicious sludge. [spoiler]Watch out for de spooky ghost![/spoiler]
A good game that's faithful to what it strives to be. A bit shorter than expected, but the time itself I spent in it was a pleasant experience. Extra point for making me think the chest puzzle was a more intricate puzzle than it actually was; it made me laugh out loud when I found out what the actual way to solve it was. 9/10
