### 5/5 — Mysterious and Fun

*2020-05-11, version 1.0.1*

Although I don’t really enjoy clicking games, this one is for sure a favorite. The story was cute and dark and the characters were all lovable and fun. This is actually the first review I’ve ever made since I don’t usually bother but this one is underrated. I love the story and style but the ending images don’t really fit in with the normal style of the game. For example the one where Noah is crying in the second to last memory.

### 5/5 — Wow.

*2020-02-28*

Seriously. That was an amazing game. I finish it in one night and the story is just awesome and beautiful. I really like it. But I’m a little sad that the end happen so quickly. 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

### 5/5 — Beautiful, but a few minor errors

*2020-01-09*

This game was wonderful. The story and characters were unique and original, and the atmosphere with the music and art matched very well. But, every rose has a thorn. This game was very illiterate and made the story a bit hard to follow. Also, Noah sometimes seems to have more "emotion" than she could at one or two spots, but otherwise this problem hardly affects the game. Also the sound when you tap the Lamp for Audiences is very irritating. Other than these three minor hiccups, this game is great and I recommend it to any who love a deep and twisty story in a simple game. Keep up the good work, and God bless. :)

### 5/5 — LOVe IT!

*2019-12-22, version 1.0.1*

This game is amazing with cool character designs and personalities. Noah has a cool design and overall this game is amazing!

### 5/5 — I think this game is awesome

*2019-12-20, version 1.0.1*

It has so many details in it and it’s really fun!

### 5/5 — I’m in love

*2019-08-18, version 1.0.1*

I’m not good a game critique so I’ll keep this short. I ADORE this game and I wish there was an endless mode or something. I’m especially in love with oddman, I’ve always loved plague-doctor-y imagery and he is a perfect kind boi. Everyone else has so much character I love it.

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2019-07-30, version 1.0.1*

It’s such a cute story and it’s nice to be able to reread the way the characters meet

### 5/5 — Beautiful!!

*2019-07-21, version 1.0.1*

I love the creepy and cute vibes this game gives off, it is able to remain heartwarming while also being bittersweet.

### 5/5 — ...

*2019-07-14, version 1.0.1*

This game is fun I like where the story is going.

### 5/5 — Cute game

*2019-07-09, version 1.0.1*

Clicker games are usually very boring but this is very cute and very good. The story is god and My favorite character is jack. The art is very nice. I hope the side story will be translated. If money is the problem then I suggest a donation jar. There would be a jar icon in the corner or something where the player can donated any money they like but don’t necessarily get anything in return.

### 5/5 — I love it

*2019-06-15, version 1.0.1*

I don’t usually write reviews but I love this game! The art and story are amazing and I love the characters too! The only small problem I have with it is that I don’t really understand how to complete it, and all you really do is just tap on the lantern pretty much, and I wish I could know more about the characters, although I’m sure that’s just because it’s not the type of game I’m used to or something. I’m just confused at how to progress in the game

### 5/5 — A good one

*2019-06-02, version 1.0.1*

A really relaxing game!!! Totally love it

### 5/5 — Absolutely beautiful.

*2019-05-09, version 1.0.1*

I’m not sure where to start with this. The gameplay is that of your usual “cookie clicker” type game, simplistic yet addicting. The art style is unique and beautiful, the characters are colorful and likable, and the story is sad and beautiful, with a hopeful ending. Literally the ONLY complaint I have about this game is the translation-it was translated from Japanese in-house, meaning there are quite a few errors. However, it is still understandable, and does not take away from the story or atmosphere. Overall, I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys gothic aesthetics, and creepy-but-not-scary art.

### 5/5 — Great experience

*2019-05-08, version 1.0.1*

The storyline , the art style, I absolutely adore it
even though it’s click-y and wait type of game
It’s catchy 
I’m glad I finish it :)

### 5/5 — Make more similar English GAMES!!!!!!!!!

*2019-04-27*

Awesome!!!!! I love it🥰  Just wish that you guys could make the other Japanese apps into English.😅 especially the mystery solving ones, and the Oddman x Chera one. Honestly never seen any games with this kind of graphic, which I LOVE💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2020-09-25, version 1.0.1*

I like this game a lot!!! But can you please add more characters pretty please??🤡❤️🧸

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2020-02-19*

Beautiful story and illustrations. The only problem I truly found was the translations were sometimes hard to read. For instance, “how were my mom and dad like?” Doesn’t make much sense. I would just review it and fix the speech a bit. Other than that, fantastic story. I love it!

### 4/5 — Great! But one thing.....

*2019-10-02, version 1.0.1*

Hi! Now I love this game a lot! The backstory, the characters, and the little creatures! One thing I have to say is that in the end we’re I had everything like everything nothing happened no ending no nothing not even the story from the flower and the flower was fully bloomed! I don’t know if I just didn’t finish though I had everything or that there was a glitch. Still a great and would play again ☺️

### 4/5 — help

*2018-10-25, version 1.0.1*

I can’t seem to see the last 2 parts of the story. I’ve brought the flower of Chera to full bloom and collected all the circus members so I don’t know what to do.

### 4/5 — Beautiful art

*2018-09-08, version 1.0.1*

Nice little game a little confusing at first but it’s worth the artwork

### 4/5 — A great game.

*2017-11-07, version 1.0.1*

I really love this game more than anything, but there’s one thing that they need to fix, and that’s the English. Here and there, the English is really broken. Other than that, it’s perfect!

### 5/5 — Worth it

*2022-09-04, version 1.0.1*

Have to say, I loved this game. It definitely gives me weirdcore/clowncore vibes because of the art style and characters were very intriguing. The story was beautiful and I shall continue to play these treasures SEEC has for us :) Currently on TASOKARE HOTEL and so far I’m absolutely loving that one too. Recommend this, and tasokare. <3

### 5/5 — Download RIGHT this instant

*2021-04-20, version 1.0.1*

Ok, the reason why I am telling you this is because this is so inspirational and so heartwarming and also so SO SO POSTIVELY VERY VERY GOOD, at first, I saw the reviews that this is a good game, I declined it, I cam back and changed my mind so I downloaded it, until, after 1 minute, I started to get used and magnetised to it, the storytelling is SOOOOO good, and I love the characters, and the endings are tear bringing, so that’s why I rate this five stars, I am gonna reaper ONE more time, Download this..... NOW.
