### 5/5 — bailey(:

*2026-05-12*

Overall, I believe this game is incredibly well thought out and designed. There is a lot of immersion, so many cool little things to look at and very interactive. This developer very clearly has a very genuine passion within this industry, each and every detail from this game is built with so much love and time, overall building a game so unique and special to play.
The art style is beautiful and gives such a calming nostalgic feel when playing and can be incredibly cozy if you are into smaller, cozy pixel games and want to pass the time very similarly to others this developer has made!

This game and its simplicity is done incredibly well and if you love cozy, peaceful and simple games I would wholeheartedly recommend giving this game a go 100%!
