I have never felt more sadder during a relaxing cleaning game. It fed me breadcrumbs and I ate it like a greedy raven and regret seeped in once the connections occurred. Pretty solid game.

It's a beautiful experience. The game took me around 4 hours to beat, great storytelling ala "Unpacking" style of interaction. The art and music were beautiful and gave me the same feeling of playing drama games like Life is Strange. I wish it ended differently but that's my own wistfulness and not a criticism of the game or devs. The game is worth the asking price of $12 for sure. Give it a try!

This game is cute and a very satisfying. I love the story and discovering what happened to August, Beth, and Ivy while cleaning their room. The designs are really nice and the soundtrack is relaxing. There's some little glitches but nothing too bad. I recommend it! 💜

So I reviewed the prologue and said this would be a day 1 purchase and well...I'm a man of my word. This game has STRONG LiS / Marie's Room vibes, in all the best ways. It's basically ultra cozy Lesbian love room cleaning simulator, and I'm here for it. It's short & sweet and doesn't overstay its welcome. It came out with some bugs, but the devs have seemed to iron them all out, so....buy it! Basically what I'm trying to say is...........INJECT LIFE IS STRANGE DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS!

If I could play this game all over again I would, the story and art is beautiful. I cried playing because it all feels so close to home and so similar to a life ive lived and my friends have lived before. Its sweet, and although its short, its a game I think I can see myself coming back to. Great work :)
