I wish I could leave this game with at *least* an 8/10, but the longer I played, the more tired I got.

Towards the last few levels, I grew really tired of seeing the same kinds of items like underwear and various small 1 x 1 knickknacks and having to put them away the same ways I had done before. I understand that the counter to this is "It's like this in real life." but to me, it just made unpacking rooms like the bathrooms especially fatiguing.

After the story is completed, there really is no reason to return to the game on a new save file, or return to your previous work because of the nature of the game's story. You know what's going to happen, and a lot of the mystery/shock is really only effective while you're pulling the items from their boxes the first time.
Some achievements are really charming and require interacting with items a certain way, while others are given out like free candy for doing nothing which makes their existence seem meaningless, and harms a lot of the replay value in trying to earn them post-game. I cleaned up the remaining 5 achievements I had in no less than 10 minutes.

While I think the pixel art in the game is outstanding and a highlight in the indie scene, I was very disappointed in the music.
For a sandbox-like game, there just isn't any tracks that stood out to me. I couldn't hum anything even if you offered me money, and they don't loop seamlessly, instead going for a few seconds of white noise before looping, making the tracks even more forgettable.

The biggest turn down for me is the asking price. The game does seem to go on sales pretty frequently, but I do not think I can recommend this game for any more than $10 maximum. There are just so many other games I would recommend for that price that offer more meaningful content which really makes me upset.

I really wish there was a complete sandbox mode that alloys you to decorate a room using any items you wish from a selection. Picture Animal Crossing New Horizon's DLC as a widespread example.

As-is, I really wish I could recommend the game, but it I have to squint my eyes a bit too much to give it a thumbs up.
Get it on sale if possible.

2/5
5/10
