I think this game is really special. I don't know if it clicks with everyone, but for those that it does, it really clicks. (Including me.) The story, characters and world are all interesting, familiar, and strong. There are emotional moments where the dialogue is legitimately hard to read. The music and sound design are really good. The puzzles and gameplay and the customizeable nature of literally everything are really fun. I think some people might look at this and just write it off as "cozy drawing game" That's stupid, it's so much more, for all the reasons I just listed. This is a project of love, passion, and joyful creation. I think it may live inside my mind for a while like all media I really like does. I may try and 100% it. To summarize, I think It's very good.

A true gem. How is this amazing game so underrated? It took me two tries to truly get into this game. At the beginning, everything is a little overwhelming. Color the world! A huge map to explore! Many characters to talk to and they all have several bits of dialogue! I dropped it after a couple of hours. On my second go, I decided to use a guide to see if the game would grow on me. And boy, it did. Do not be fooled, the game may look cute but it deals with themes such as impostor syndrome, depression, and intrusive thoughts. It does so masterfully. It's not a sad game per se, but in many occasions it touched me deeply, to the point of tears. It does a lot with little, communicating about feelings, struggles and hurdles without uttering many words. The sound design and the soundtrack are excellent, this is a game for headphones. The gameplay is very similar to the older Zelda games: a big open world, some dungeons with light puzzles, boss fights, power ups as rewards. The boss fights are incredible but they can be a bit annoying with the default settings, lots of dying and repeating. Kudos to the developers for allowing options where the player to have as much life as they want/need, including unlimited. You can also skip the boss fights if you so wish, but I don't recommend it, some of the boss fights are truly memorable and in many ways pivotal to fully understand the story. And the story is the main star of this game, so if you prefer skipping dialogues and just getting into the ending as soon as possible, this game might not be for you. Several passages of this game left me in tears. The story is touching and it hits deep. Lots of beautiful metaphors. It accomplishes much with few words, and it leaves you thinking. I'll miss you, Chicory!

The music is by Lena Raine, i don't really know if i need to say much more tbh. The only thing is the controls can take a lot of getting used to, i used both a controller and mouse for the most natural feeling, but it can be a bit weird. Otherwise beautiful game and everyone who made it should be proud on making such an interesting and innovative experience.

Underrated gem. It’s a painting game, and it may look like a game for toddlers, but it is one of the most connecting experiences I have ever had in a video game. The gameplay is incredibly fun, and the music is AMAZING (Lena Raine I kneel down at you), but the best part is by far the story. It has such a profound meaning and each character struggle feels real. Not only the main ones, but there are plenty of side stories that have deep messages with really heartwarming conclusions to them. This is not just a game, it’s a therapy session. Enjoy playing while healing your heart. One of the best games I have ever played, I’m absolutely in love.
