Probably one of the most gorgeous games I've ever played. Took me about 2.8 hours (Base Game + Jack DLC) to complete so it is kind of short but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Both characters are thoroughly thought out! Spoilers on both characters: During the DLC, you can tell Jack misses Amber but just doesn't believe he deserves to stand by her and honestly my heart broke when I discovered that. Jack severely misses her which you can tell during the whole snow scene in the DLC. Also the fact that at the end of the base game, you realize that you aren't Amber's daughter (like i originally thought), but actually Amber herself! And that means that old man Jack wasn't ignoring us because we weren't actually there! Also the fact that the ending of the DLC is a parallel to the base game is killing me! If you enjoy the Studio Ghibli style of animation and enjoy a heartfelt/somewhat bittersweet story, then I highly recommend this game to you! And definitely grab the DLC at the same time that you get the base game so you can play them back to back!

The music is gorgeous and also the art... but technically, this thing is a mess: It gets stuck in almost every scene, and needs to minimize the window and restore it, or it often gets a black screen which can't be exited from.

The art is great, the music is beautiful and the story is adorable. It looks and feels good. But this is not a game. The puzzles feel unnecessary and the achievements seem forced. And yes, I do understand that this type of story could only be told through the medium of games. However, it could've been an animated short film, and it would've been way better, considering the fact that the game itself can be finished in less than 2 hours.

Still tho, everything above would be acceptable if not for the price. The price is a BIG NO for what you get. Wouldn't recommend the game. However, if you really wanna experience it (and again, not PLAY but experience it), you should wait for a sale.

P.S. The Jack DLC everybody talks about isn't even mentioned anywhere and it's possible to miss it completely.

Such a fun, creative, short game with a heartwarming story.

absolutely beautiful story and comforting gameplay.

I got this game for free through epic games and randomly decided to try it. After beating it, I had to buy the game on steam just so I could show my support for this game. This is the first time I've felt the need to pay for a game that I got for free (also my first time reviewing a game as well).

I did not think I would love this game as much as I do. The gameplay itself is not what captivated me. It was the story and the way it is told through the paintings. The story, the music, the art, and everything were so enjoyable. I also loved that you can complete this game within 2 hours. This is definitely a hidden gem.
