A very easy puzzle game that shines in other departments. It has a decent story (sad), a great soundtrack, and out-of-this-world art style. I caught myself multiple times doing absolutely nothing in-game and just admiring how beautifully drawn the town and its "inhabitants" are. Whoever has done that - you are talented, and you ROCK! If you are looking for a spooky yet cozy Halloween-ish puzzle game - this is for you.

This is actually a neutral review more than a negative one. I enjoyed playing this for what it is, a short point and click puzzle game however I have some slight issues with it. The artwork is done really well, it was really enjoyable to look at. I loved the gloomy/spooky cozy atmosphere the dev was going for. That being said, it seems that the art and music was all this really had going for it. The story was meh to say the least. I appreciate what angle they were going for with it however you literally arrive in town and it gets thrown on your lap. As a newcomer to town, why are we supposed to care about a random mother and daughter who used to live there? There's no build up whatsoever, no real mystery to solve it just gets handed to you as soon as you get off the train by the townspeople. There's no big reveal either, you're told what happened and know the outcome pretty much almost immediately which imo, defeats the purpose of you as a newbie uncovering the story, it takes away from the story and solving puzzles. We know what happened so why are we completing puzzles to uncover what we are already being told? The puzzles are another thing, they're for the most part seemin…

The puzzles are for elementary students, and the difficulty of decryption is very low. The game graphics is just so-so The plot is completely devoid of any values The main cause of the daughter Lina's death was the medicine the herbalist secretly added in the breakfast "to make her quiet". This daughter unconsciously ate the medicated breakfast, but when faced with the medicated lemonade brought by her playmate, she knew there was medicine in it but still drank it. This involves the issue of subjectively/non-subjectively taking the medicine. In the end, the two drugs were incompatible, resulting in the daughter being poisoned to death. Did the herbalist pluck herself so cleanly to poison some innocent neighbors and the townspeople? These neighbors were still very friendly to her and did not discriminate against her. They did not call them witches either. They must have been taking care of them all along (if all these people's testimonies are correct). Even if she really wants to take revenge, the first to be killed should be herself, followed by those children who feed their daughters medicated lemonade, rather than indiscriminatingly poisoning the flours in the bakery…
