I typically really enjoy simple puzzle games. I have played games like A Little to the Left and Sizeable which have similar aspects, but I found this game much more frustrating than relaxing. The art style is beautiful and I was super intrigued by the mechanics, but the puzzles felt so tedious. By the time I reached the end of each level I wanted to stop playing because I just got frustrated. It reminded me of Sizeable in the way that you basically just keep trying different combinations until something works, and similar to A Little to the Left where there is minimal instructions. However, you are restricted by the characters movement speed so you cannot solve puzzles as fast as your brain is processing them because you have to wait for your character to walk, and sometimes you have to repeatedly make small steps to progress. I was really hoping to be intrigued by the story, but it all felt lack luster to me especially because you only got very short bursts of the story which didn't give you enough time to really care about the characters. I really wanted a cozy game I could play in the evenings, but every time I play it I just end up irritated and wishing I spent my time on something more enjoyable
