A beautiful game about growing up and acceptance. A bit clunky and buggy but makes up for it with everything else.

Haven't reached the end yet, but I thought I'd leave my review early because it seems from other reviews that there's some confusion about the game's genre and what players should expect. The simplest way to describe this game is to call it Clock Tower-esque in my opinion. Yes it has adventure game hallmarks like puzzles, riddles, back-and-forth exploration etc, but the horror element, the stalkers and having to sneak around quietly to avoid them is a very, very important part of the game, both for the atmosphere and for the way you have to interact with the environment to solve the puzzles and make progress. This isn't a chill cutesy game with some creepy elements, it's supposed to be an intense experience. Admittedly I knew of Chris Darill's work beforehand, so this didn't come as a surprise to me. Other than that, I'm genuinely having a ton of fun about 3 hours into the game, the puzzles feel good but not obtuse, the stalkers feel scary but not impossible to overcome, the controls feel great (especially given this is a horror adventure game lmao) and obviously the art and music are amazing. I've noticed a couple of bugs so far, though nothing that couldn't be dealt with by quitting back to the main menu, and the game autosaves so often you won't be losing progress almost ever honestly. It is launch day so I expect they will be fixed in the next few days. Can't wait to get off work tomorrow to get back into the game! *GAME FINISHED EDIT - Just finished the game, was very very fun and longer than I expected actually. Really hope there is a sequel to this, or at least that the dev makes another game in this style :3

It's hard to recommend this without caveats. On top of production value shortcomings in the game's presentation, including inconsistent sprite resolution, animation and sound bugs, etc., the gameplay is rough around the edges. Faulty enemy pursuer AI makes chases more annoying than scary or intense, and most of my trial-and-error deaths were because the game would either not make its logic intuitive or I would flat out have some input glitch. The game feels at its best when you're just exploring, solving puzzles; the typical adventure game item-gathering is smartly designed here. However, even that started getting tedious by the end, during a chapter where you're loading back and forth between environments to solve puzzles, and sitting through the same transition cutscene every time. Additionally, there are a few rhythm minigames and combat sequences which, despite my appreciation for their role in keeping the game varied, also drag on quite a bit. Although I had issues with the story, mainly its pacing, how certain events or developments were abrupt, I was still entertained and found it heartfelt. Many of the English voice actors do a great job. Hopefully this gets updates to create a cleaner experience for new players, as the game obviously scratches that Clock Tower itch while setting itself apart. The Disney aesthetic isn't perfectly emulated, but it's an extremely admirable attempt.

A once-in-a-blue-moon sort of game. If you love hand-drawn animation & good stories, you have to try this game. The story is atmospheric and told beautifully, with music and voice acting that does justice to the gorgeous art. Each scene's puzzles fit the story and have satisfying solutions. Without spoiling anything, the mechanics and abilities that come along as the game progresses just add so much to the experience, and I'm amazed at how smoothly everything works. It is everything I wanted it to be & more! One of the reasons I feel compelled to leave a review is because honest positive reviews are needed in the early phase. Please don't let early negative reviews dissuade you from trying it! I have played through the first 6 chapters and, in my opinion, there is nothing too punishing about the stealth sections. If you have played point & click games before, you will likely have encountered similar puzzles. I personally found these challenges increased the fun factor of the game! That said, I do respect that some people do not like being pursued in games, so if that is something that bothers you, these sections will be more stressful. Enjoy this gem! And a huge thanks to the creators for making something so special.

Always happy to support a game like this. The art so far is truly stunning, the animations look great, and there's a whimsy that's captured beautifully. Here there's the terror and beauty innate to a true fairy tale. This has the makings of a great game and a wonderful adventure! I will update this review when I complete it.
