I WOULD RECOMMMEND

LOVED IT SO MUCH

super fun loved how im able to make my own choices. ive been searching for games like this for ever now thats i found it just makes me happy.and this game i sgreat for people who gets bored easily like me.

LOVE!!

Amazing game, as a white woman this for some reason made me feel slightly emotional. (In a good way) I love the message behind the game and the storyline is super sweet. I also love the art style and the game controls are super easy and fun to use, only downside is that this game is pretty short. I would love another game like this or perhaps the creators could add more chapters/side stories etc to it. Either way I highly recommend this game it’s super fun! 🩶

Awesome lessons

this game is more about ethical choices than solving puzzles. It's a great opportunity to talk with young people about consequences and the ramifications of our actions. Graphics and soundtrack are great. I wish this was much much longer- would have been 5 stars.

Beautifully made for someone who has lived this life

I’m absolutely amazed with how thoughtful and sweet this was. It made me miss my grandma 🥲 it made me think of my grandparents I miss them both. I absolutely would play it again if it was longer.
