It's a Hidden Object Game with some of the worst Voice Acting i've heard in a very long time. Not Resident Evil so bad it's funny, but grating. I left my PC multiple times when playing this and left it running just to give my ears a break... It's just... bad. The game itself is actually good, as far as Hidden object games go it's definitely one of the better ones and the background music is really good in places, but... the voice acting. Please for the love of all that is holy patch in an option to turn that OFF

Don't be mistaken: This is a Visual Novel disguised as a HOG. It is not a bad story, not at all, but it is not what I signed up for. And dear Lord there is SO much dialogue! And all the character drawings just slide into frame, just like a visual novel. Yes, there's puzzles and such, but none of them are difficult in any way. Often you just pick up a singular item in any given screen, then move on. I was glad when it was over to be honest. I'm leaving a negative review though it's more of a "meh". I just feel slightly bamboozled when I simply wanted to play a relaxing HOG. Worked well on Steam Deck while using touch screen controls.

first HOG I both dislike and and find nothing charming about it. I wasn't really on board for a visual novel, especially one that was so plain and cookie cutter. Puzzles were rather standard, so were the actual hidden object segments if not a little more nitpicky than the average one. Audio kept cutting out after a few minutes for seemingly no reason. I really didn't need an ipad with mini lore dumps either. Generally most of this just rubbed me the wrong way and I go to these for a cute cozy whimsical time. If I'm not getting that I'd want something cheesy or charming. This doesn't have any of that, and it's absurd to expect something thriller-esque like the visual novels I actually do like since there's no way the story is going to be anywhere on the same level as 999 zero escape vlr and I was pretty much completely correct.

if you like puzzles, this is the game for you.
