A nice little time waster if you have some time to kill :)
Easy controls and soothing visuals.

Chunky space poro goes brrrrr!

Awesome game!

Comfy game :)
Walking through the snowy landscape feels so nice! They made it feel pretty realistic :3
Unfortunately the story isn't all too deep, but still interesting.
Overall a great game if you get an itch for some cozy winter weather :)

One of the best :3

Awesome game!
Played it for the first time and enjoyed it a lot :)

Those Midwives are scary (º □ º l|l)

Truly a hidden gem :)

The store page makes it look a bit bland and cheap, but it's actually a quality VN.
It's not just a "Click Next"-VN, but you have to focus on what's happening.

The story is pretty good and I would recommend to play it on "Master Detective"-Mode to get all the interesting mini-games wich are well done :)

The VN also has multiple endings, depending on your choices and after unlocking them you can get the true ending(s?).
Unfortunately I have to say that I felt that the VN could have been better with less endings, since you are forced to do them to unlock the final ones. Even with the skip function it takes a bit of time for a playthrough since you still have to navigate through the rooms, etc. So it felt kind of tedious after a while and it didn't feel like the endings offered something surprisingly new for me.

But that said, I enjoyed my first playthrough of the story so much that I wouldn't even be mad if there were no other endings. So it's definitely worth it :)

Note:
If you have supported the giant "Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality" on itchio, you may already have this game in your itch-library :)

Even better than "The Four Last Things" in my opinion but both are great :)

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this game judging by the screenshots/trailer on the storepage.
So here are my thoughts after completing it in case other people also struggle with the same issue.

In my opinion it's one of those games that are more focused on the art than on the actual gameplay.
The world looks beautiful and together with the soundtrack it offers a very relaxing and nice experience.
The photo mode is also extremely good with tons of filters that you can adjust. If you activate one of the filters you can actually play the game with this filter on, so you get some very crazy graphics.

The gameplay part on the other hand is rather simple. It often feels similar to a walking simulator, because nothing can hurt you and most of the time you just glide through space or slowly walk on a planet.
But there are also some nice small mechanics mixed it in, like situations where you have to press specific button combinations in a small amount of time or some cipher puzzles wich are fun to solve.
It also has a story, but it's nothing groundbreaking.

I played with a controller since the game seems to be designed that way.
I had only a problem with an achievement that required you to fly through multiple rings. I think I tried it around 30 minutes to get this with the controller, but there are often rings that require a very sharp curve and I just couldn't do it with the controller. So I switched to keyboard & mouse for that and after getting used to the controls I got it in like 5 minutes.

Overall I recommend the game, but keep in mind it's more focused on the art part and it's also just 3-5 hours long depending on how much optional stuff you do :)
