Puzzles in particular are uncharacteristically unimaginative considering the fantastic level of creativity expressed in every other aspect. One character's ability seeks object fragments from another dimension that plays like a tiny hidden object game, while the other moves environment pieces with musical notes. Put things back in order.

I liked the game. It's a short, relaxing and pleasant experience for point-and-click adventure players. It's a bit artsy and philosophical but never to the point where you're actually bothered if you're not into that kinda stuff.

I really adore this game, it's been a while since I had goosebumps because something is so beautiful. I absolutely recommend this!1 found this helpful
Immersing myself in the game was an enchanting journey from beginning to end. The exceptional quality of the music and animations harmoniously blend, effortlessly elevating the gameplay experience. It's expertly intertwined with the narrative, creating an absorbing atmosphere that remains captivating throughout.
Beautiful visuals, but gameplay isn't worth it.
Unclear and inconsistent game mechanics spoil the experience *shrug*
