I really enjoyed this game--far more than I expected to. The concept seemed interesting enough, but it was something I needed to experience to fully understand. The atmosphere, the music, and the voice acting all work together to create a very calming environment. This game is an especially great way to wind down after a long day at work, or to de-stress before bed. It's something that leaves you smiling, even if you don't quite know why. It just feels good to play, and for me, it tapped into a new kind of experience. I'm excited to follow this game and see what other places it takes me to. Highly recommended!
