### 4/5 — Make it free please

*2026-06-06*

This game is really fun to play but I can’t move on I’m only on 1908 & 1909 but now I realized that I didn’t pay  but my parents won’t let me buy the full games because they think you’re gonna take all their money and I think that’s stupid that they think that. can you please make it free? Overall it’s a great game.

### 2/5 — harassment scandal still not solved

*2026-03-31, version 1.0.19*

the boss of the company himself buys sexual service and protects an employee who harasses a female

### 4/5 — Amazing game!

*2026-01-20*

This was a very enjoyable game. Adorable characters and I LOVED how cute the animals were. The only thing was that certain parts were pretty confusing on how to move forward. I had to look up a tutorial a couple times to figure out what the next step was. I wish there were a few more hints. But other than that, it was a beautiful game with an awesome music design as well!

### 5/5 — Love it!!!!

*2026-01-14, version 1.0.19*

What a lovely story

### 2/5 — Dishonest; Pay to play

*2025-12-10*

Seems cute and from other reviews sounds like a good game.  But it lies about the fact that it’s free.  I was so excited; finally a free cozy game set in a historical setting, everything I wanted.  Then I downloaded it to discover that it actually cost money.  No hate, just wanted honesty with the price, especially in these times.

### 1/5 — 한글번역좀제발요

*2025-12-09*

한글 번역좀요ㅠ

### 5/5 — Ótimo!

*2025-11-14*

A ideia de transitar entre passado e presente é muito boa, dá um efeito enigmático pra história! Joguei só o comecinho (demo) e achei divertido, é cozy e bom pra passar o tempo. Eu compraria se fosse mais barato :)

### 2/5 — english issues

*2025-10-30*

Game was fine, pretty good gameplay for what I understand is a small team. I think every puzzle game has some puzzles where you’re like “really? how would I even know that?” and I can forgive those.  So if that was the only issue, I’d give it 5 stars. It wasn’t. 

The english writing gets worse as the game goes on, and that’s not great but it would be ok if it didn’t make some of the puzzles unsolvable. I’m not sure what part of a beetle a “cactus-like watermelon”  is but Google turned up nothing and I had to look up a video. There were enough issues like this that I ended the game annoyed at every puzzle, and left it very unhappy.

### 5/5 — Execelente

*2025-10-13*

Jogo lindíssimo

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-09-30*

I no joke stayed up all night to finish this the story is so cute the puzzles are so fun the art is so cute I loved it to much would recommend 10/10
