Disclaimer: I know the people who worked on this game so take this review with a grain of salt. I will however try to be as authentic as possible.

Game runs mostly fine and I didn't run into any game breaking bugs. Some minor ones here and there but nothing serious. I also tested with a PS5 controller and it seemed to work just fine. The gameplay and moving around feels snappy and responsive. However I do wish that you could turn off the mouse smoothing for the camera.

The environments and the characters look very charming. The animations and how the player and various characters move around make them look really wholesome. I do wish that there was a little bit more sound effects for various things like the dialog bubbles or the characters talking or stuff popping on your screen in general. The dialog bubbles could also have a small icon displaying that you can progress by a button press. The missing tool stuff could also be presented with an icon of said tool instead of just "(missing tool)" text. Exploring around feels good when you can find a lot of gems that you can actually spend to get some outfit pieces for your character. It makes it feel like you want to explore instead of needing to explore.

Talking about exploring. There really are not any quest markers to hold your hand so sometimes finding the correct NPC to finish up your quest is behind walking around and retracing your steps. So there is a lot of walking around. Often times it made me wish for a sprint button to make it a little less tedious to walk around the same places. This could also perhaps be fixed by adding little icons on the map to where each NPC lives maybe after you've talked to them and taken the quest?

In conclusion: A very charming and cozy game that is probably perfect for small kids. Lots to explore and secrets to find in the world. And in the end I was kinda hoping to see more of the story and the world.
