The verdict
A short, dark, story-driven tale with lovely art and standout voice acting, but almost no gameplay or puzzles. Skip it if you want a Fran Bow-style puzzler or dislike crude humor around a child.
Great for
Fans of Fran Bow, Sally Face and dark-humor narrative stories who want a short emotional evening
Main risk
Very little gameplay, short length, and crude or sexualized humor around an 8-year-old
