### 5/5 — An amazing game

*2026-07-04, version 2.10.0*

I love this game. It’s just a little bit creepy but other than that I really really love it. I thought it was odd because it was based on an actual doll that does age but I always play this game.

### 5/5 — 좋아여

*2026-06-28*

중딩때 했던 게임 생각나서 다시 하는데 넘 좋내여

### 3/5 — 長すぎる

*2026-06-25, version 2.10.0*

やっと四周終わった！と思ったら、妄想編とか言う、また続きがあって、それにエンディングが4つルートあるらしく、やっぱ無理ぽ！ってなりました。因みにこのゲームガチであの河童のゲームと違って自然増殖しかアイテムが得られません。それか広告見るがそれ毎回だるいし。少なくとも1万は貯めれば4周できると思います。ちなみにあの河童のやつと違ってしっかりと最初の四周見た感じ人形が救われるのはちゃんとありました。因みにそのあとはまだやってる途中ですが。あ、因みにネタバレです。
