Cute little noir point and click game about a girl and her teddy bear. Gets a little dark at times, but overall is quite friendly to your psych. Also voice-over is quite good, loved Ambers and Teds voices. A confident recommendation on my part. Do play it with some coffee or cocoa. Final Score: 7/10
