However, you cannot become lost or wander around without knowing what to do because a compass points to your next goal. Aside from hurrying about the city and completing the current objective, the…

I've been playing lately a lot this game, and I'm enjoying every part of the story. 🤩 I found it the perfect game for cozy gamers who loves puzzles and voxel art, also for anyone attracted to Japan.
