This is cozy with a little dash of comforting horror aesthetic to keep you on your toes (or chuckling and smirking, take your pick).

What a genuinly unique and cleverly thought out gaming experience!! From the cute critters, to the flickering lights, creaking floorboards andnever ending pantry, this game truly offers a bit of everything. Creature collecting, photography, light puzzles/easter eggs, cooking, exploration with your handy flashlight... all of this with very fitting atmospheric effects. The art and graphics are just perfect and add to the whole experience of "what the HELL is going on here?!"

There are some games that if you write too much in the review, you kind of give away the fun of discovering the game. This is that kind of game. If you like the concepts I described above, just pick it up. For the price, you won't regret it. It is not scary at all despite the vibes. On the contrary, it is the perfect game to snuggle up with in bed on the deck. The controls are amazingly done and you are not required to use the trackpad for the cooking. Praise be!!

This game is a hidden gem and going in blind is the only way to enjoy it in my humble opinion!

Update: may have lied… I just jumped out of my skin XD (but it’s one of those scares that has you laughing afterwards)

perfect game filled with perfect creatures..
slightly unsettling and immensely endearing, like encountering a very large opossum in the middle of the night

One of those games where you beat it and go 'awww it's over?', it was short and sweet, creepy and cozy, the perfect lil gem to tuck into for one evening. I do wish there was more reason to make every recipe, and perhaps more family members, but that's just because I enjoyed it and want more. The atmosphere was nostalgic and supremely comfy.
