The verdict
A short, charming hand-drawn hidden-object and puzzle game with lovely art and music. Skip it if you are colorblind, hate pixel hunting or arcade minigames, or can't get fullscreen to work.
Great for
Players wanting a cozy, wordless, hand-drawn hidden-object puzzle game for a few relaxing hours, ideally on sale
Main risk
Fullscreen/cursor bugs, unskippable arcade minigames, colour puzzles and pixel hunting can sour a short game.
