Yea, this is a cool PT for My Beautiful Paper Smile (which I still need to play!)! I didn't realize it was a PT for the larger game which sometimes ends up being the case for "Free" to play games. Still a hidden gem but I'm pretty sure the main game is really well received & super popular. I released this for members first as part of my FTP Friday series, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9fErV0j_-E Quick & sweet lil playable trailer for M B P S. which did make me Wishlist it!

I love it's artwork, but... it's just a short demo for another game, completed in 17 minutes. Needed to play it in offline mode, because it crashes all the time, if you don't turn off your internet connection. Therefore no, I can't recommend it. Except if you want to buy that other game and think a little teaser could make it more interesting maybe?

The game is literally unplayable when you start the game it crashes after like a minute.

Free, cool looking and somewhat interesting tiny demo. Beware, it has some bugs like shoes being other way, menu having a game title for related game, floating character, but most impotantly couldn't read texts on ultrawide, nor change window size to fix it.
