I love this game.

Music: I love musicals, let me be straightforward with this from the beginning. The music is wonderful, the singers are all very good, and the lyrics are whimsical and charming! There are so many variations of the songs, each beautiful and original. I will say it does take a while to get through all of variations if you are trying to achievement hunt, but there is a guide that is super helpful! I am obviously biased, but I definitely found myself humming along to the music and singing the songs after the fact. Spotify also has all the albums, so you can listen along outside of the game.

Style: The animation is unique. I like the art style and appreciate the movement the animators put in, even if it was limited. I will say the amount of detail that was put in setting the scene for the mood of the song was really cool. I think that the animators were very intentional with their choices, and I think the artists did an amazing job drawing gorgeous characters,

Romances: They were fun. I liked them all. Apollo is a little too much of a sad boy for me, but he was fine. I really enjoyed Persephone's songs when you romanced her; she was probably my favorite.

Replay: I replayed this game so much. I was achievement hunting, but it was worth it to me. I knew going in I was going to have to re-watch some scenes, but I enjoyed the mechanics and the story enough where it was okay. I played through the story four times, one for each romance. I went through some songs more than others (i.e. The Ritual), but I liked the song so it was fine. I enjoyed all the variations.

Orpheus: It's a cute DLC. The songs are catchy, and the story is sweet.

I would get the game on sale, if you are on edge about it. If not, well, enjoy!

I really enjoyed this game. It's aesthetically pleasing, and it allows for creative expression with the creation of your own cards with a beautiful soundtrack. Story wise, it was interesting. Your choices do impact the outcome, so it's worth paying attention to the smaller details. I did two playthroughs, and was able to get all the achievements. If the game is on sale, get it! If the game is not on sale, consider getting it!

This game is so charming and whimsical. Much like everyone else, I really enjoyed the cartoony art style and colors! The puzzles in the game range from simple to challenging, the music is pleasant, and the nostalgia that comes from pretend play is so real. I like that there were multiple elements to interact with per chapter, and the responses you get when you click on certain options were quite funny at times. Very fun! Would recommend. I hope there's a sequel.

The game was dull. It's very pretty and the flowers are nice and fun to label, but it wasn't enough to catch my attention. I know this is an overwhelmingly positive game for a lot of "cozy gamers," but it didn't have enough of a pull for me to want to keep it.

I love this game, man.

I have started to really enjoy the rouge-lite/like genre as of late, and this was one of my first introductory games through recommendation of a friend. The game is significantly more fun to play with others, but playing alone does not disappoint either. There is chaos and opportunity for customization. Each character has their own unique goal and abilities depending on your game play style. There is space for sneaky sneaks and there is play for bam wham shooting and punching.

When playing with others, it is nicer when everyone owns a copy so that when someone needs to reference to the map, it doesn't pause the whole screen... but if you don't care for those technicalities, remote play is fine. This game has never failed to make a good impression on friends I have introduced it to. I'm stoked for the sequel!

The game is cute. You get to go through the story of an individual who is unpacking their life due to different life stages. It's super comfy and cozy, and the soundtrack is pleasant. I did enjoy the game, but I would wait to buy it until it's on sale or comes in a bundle only because it's short.

For people who find cleaning therapeutic, it's definitely a nice virtual break. There is some flexibility when it comes to where items can go, but for the most part, there is a "correct" room placement. Not everything that belongs in one room is in the boxes in the room. You do have to navigate between rooms the farther you progress. If that is something that bothers you, I would not play the game. That being said, you do have the option to interact with some of the items to add some flair or momentary surprise. Interacting with the items can lead to hidden achievements!

A neat touch the developers added, I think, is that the caption on the bottom of the album also changes depending on the room you photograph. You do get the option to change the photo to personalize your album after the fact if you did not like the flow.

A suggestion to the devs: it would be nice to be able to zoom in and out the way you want when the photo is taken. I liked the caption change, but I would have liked to photograph some rooms at my own angle instead of the pre-set one.

This game is so beautiful, honestly. There's a reason why almost all the reviews agree. The story is very touching, the music is soothing, the symbolism is well done, and the art and graphics are so aesthetically pleasing. The team responsible for this game did such a good job. This game is something special.
