What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Players praise this charming point-and-click adventure game for its cute aesthetic, retro appeal, and enjoyable puzzle-solving experience that fans of the genre will appreciate. The main criticism is that it's quite short, with most players completing it in 20-30 minutes, though most feel it's still worth the price despite the brief playtime.

Very, very short point and click game that's very straight forward and doesn't feel confusing. Easily family friendly for all ages - even kids starting out on gaming could easily play this and likely have fun. 0% Generative Ai and just pure whimsical fun. Pros: • Very simple but satisfying • Easy to beat (took me about 15min) • Sorta feels like a warm hug of nostalgia-like kids show's episode of some sort - if you've played it you'll understand what I mean hopefully • NO GENERATIVE AI SLOP - WE LOVE TO SEE IT!! Cons: • A bit [i]too[/i] easy for me, but that doesn't make the game bad or anything - I'm just used to harder point and click games • The colors on the [spoiler]wind chime vs the actual puzzle at the end are a little confusing at first, but it's not a huge deal and it makes sense quick enough.[/spoiler] • I wish it was a bit longer Overall this is darling and the devs should all be proud of themselves for making such a cute little game, especially in only 90 days. I hope to see more games like this, but with longer lengths, in the future! ♥ 7/10

With a sweet story, beautiful scenery, neat little puzzles, and the cutest puppy ever, this was a pleasant surprise! I'm happy to have stumbled across it on Steam and I'm glad I took the time to play it. :) I have two very small negatives, but I assume they don't impact gameplay for most folks. 1. Pleeease let me read the letters longer! I play without sound and missed the last third of every letter. 2. No spoilers, but there's a specific part that's like a personal attack on my motion sickness, lol. Thanks to everyone who worked on this game; great job!

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
