How long did this game take? Not very long. What was this game about? I don't remember. I played it about a month ago. Without looking at another playthrough, I think it had something to do with saving a fish from a bottle and dumping it in a pond, then a star showed up. That's about as much I remembered about the game other than enjoying the puzzles being easy to read in how to solve them without any hints needed. That's good puzzle design. As the communicating is done visually, I'm glad the game didn't try to overcomplicate itself. I like the style of the game; it's vague, but it isn't completely chaotically random. They serve a purpose for some sort of folklore vision the dev has in mind. I can't point my fingers at what they all mean, but I can tell it isn't there for whatever sake. You should play it now.

short game with nice art and easy puzzles

Very very short and sweet little puzzle game. I beat it in about 10 minutes, if you include the brief scramble to turn off the chromatic abberation effect and switch the language to English. (If I'd realized how short it was going to be I would have left it in Japanese). The puzzles were simple and easy to understand the logic of and the visuals are very stylized and incredibly charming. Definitely give this one a try.

a very short point and click puzzle game with a unique artistic approach. I think there should be a deep story and meaning behind it but I dont seem to understand. Maybe its about breaking the norms?

This is on of the weird surreal games, with a hand drawn style and no colours. It's short, takes around 7 minutes to beat, but it was fun, I suppose? I understood the point-and-click puzzles just fine, but not the story about the fish and the stars. But being confused is part of the surreal game experience, so I enjoyed it. The crow king is spooky.

A 5 minute point and click about making a fish in a bottle happy. Quite easy and charming and it's free so no reason not to play it.
