The verdict
A gorgeous, calming Journey-like social adventure with a short, moving story, but afterward it becomes a daily candle grind with heavy FOMO and pricey cosmetics. Skip it if you hate grinding.
Great for
Players who want a cozy, non-competitive social game to enjoy with friends, plus a short emotional story
Main risk
After the short story it's a daily candle grind with pricey, time-limited cosmetics that burns you out
