途中何度かヒントを見たけど、ヒントを見た上でもまだ考える余地はあって、楽しめました。 ストーリーも絵も良くほっこりしたのもまた良かったです。
優しい雰囲気の音楽とドット絵に癒されて、 登場人物の優しさに癒されて、時折パズルに頭を悩ませて、 なんとか自力で帰宅することができました。 ボリューム満点だったので、さらに嬉しかったです。 パズルの内容としては一貫して道をつくって出口までいく、というだけですが、 途中で色々な要素が追加されていくので、飽きずに最後までやってしまいました。 シナリオもほろっとしてしまいました。
This game is relatively cute and fun. I wish the cut scenes were a bit more involved. It feels a bit flat to me, which seems intentional since most of the time there is no shading, but with how cute the art is in the puzzles, it feels like more could've been done in the cut scenes to make the experience feel more immersive. As for the game play, I enjoyed that the puzzles kept adding new behavior. Some puzzles were pretty tricky for me and had me stumped beyond cozy levels until I came back with fresh eyes. The soundtrack was a bit repetitive and jarring to me, to be honest. Something a little softer (sounds sounds in the music just sounded harsh) would've made the puzzles that took me a bit longer easier to sit through. Overall, for the price, I think it's a fun game and entertaining, but perhaps nothing special. 6.5/10
のんびり実況しつつ遊ばせていただきました! 素敵な作品をありがとうございます…! [spoiler] いこいちゃんとみのりちゃんの関係性がじんわりあたたかくて素敵だなと思いつつプレイしておりました。 一番仲の良いお友達でも、離れちゃうと全然話せなくなっちゃうことってあるよなあ…の気持ち。 本を開けばまた懐かしい思い出とお母さまに逢いに行けるのが良いですね…。 パズルにはちょっと自信があったのですが、かなり難しくて沢山ヒントを見てしまいました…!パネルの数自体は多くない中、犬や影のような存在、しろおびなど、制約要素が増えていくことで難易度が上がる仕組みも面白かったです。あとドット絵が可愛すぎてきゅんきゅんしながら見ておりました~~~! 雑多な感想になってしまいましたが、本当に素敵な作品をありがとうございました。[/spoiler]
방구석 히키코모리의 외출 도전기. 가격이 낮은 만큼 분량도 짧지만, 후반 퍼즐들의 난이도가 높아서 막 그렇게까지 짧다고 느껴지진 않음. 보다시피 3시간 걸려서 깨기도 했고... 퍼즐 개수가 많은 건 또 아니기도 하고, 힌트도 퍼즐마다 두 개씩 주어져서 웬만하면 쉽게 풀 수 있을 것임. 스토리는 슴슴함. 도파민 전개나 스토리를 송두리째 바꾸는 반전 이런 건 없음. 퍼즐로 된 일기장을 펼쳐보는 느낌임. 그렇다고 재미없다거나 그렇진 않음. 이런 짧고 가벼운 게임에 어울리는 적당한 스토리라고 생각함. 추천
クリア記念ぱぴこ ほどよいヒント機能のお陰で詰まらずクリアできました
As a light puzzle game with casual ambience and pixel style, it do raise my curiosity. With cute and useful hints It just takes a few minutes to finish a stage without guide from internet. XD After finishing the final stage, seeing her hug Mom, stepping forward to a new life, the story itself comes to a happy end.(And I like the CG very much. :3) Looking forward for extra stages. :)
帰路に就くのは、新しい場所へ旅立つため。 ストーリーがいい、パズルが優しいゲームでした。
guide 감사합니다
