Ah, this game. Honestly I can say I really liked it. It’s short, so short I considered including it in one of my ‘Mini Game’ lists. But… I feel that if I put it in that compilation it won’t be getting the attention it really deserves. Hell, writing a Blast Review for it feels wrong as well but I don’t feel I could speak on this game much without spoiling it, so this is the best I have.
So what is this game? If I had to put a genre on it I’d say its a point and click adventure, but a non-traditional one. The reason I state ‘non-traditional’ is because rather than combining items in various locations, you solve all the puzzles by painting pictures. The other thing that makes it no-traditional is that the game takes place almost entirely in a single studio apartment.
The animation and general aesthetic is ‘Studio Ghibli-esq’ with lovingly detailed (if short) animation depicting the various cutscenes. It’s a very heartfelt game that I feel doesn’t overstay its welcome, if they had made it much longer I feel the mechanics would have felt over used and the story would have suffered.
If you fancy something just a bit different, that doesn’t last too long and gives you a very deep experience I would highly recommend giving this game a go. What makes that recommendation easier is that this game is available on IOS and Android as well as PC, so you could play this pretty much anywhere you feel.
