At times charming, at times infuriating, it's hard for me to recommend this game despite all that it has going for it. It has beautiful artwork, excellent voice acting where every interaction is fully voiced, a cute diverse cast of characters, and a cozy atmosphere. However, this point and click struggles with many in its genre with the eternal problem of moon logic.
Most games would remedy this by having a hint system, which this one does, but it is ABYSMAL. The hint system is so vague that it often doesn't even refer to the specific puzzle that you're on, instead talking about your overarching goals which could consist of a dozen puzzles to reach. Considering how linear this game is, there is no excuse for not having a hint system that isn't more specific. The difficulty shouldn't be defined by a lack of information. The tone and atmosphere of this game is clearly directed toward children, but I could easily see both children and adults finding certain puzzles to be a waste of time, especially with how slow the pacing of the game is.
When the game is at its prime, it's fun and immersive with a flow that carries you through its story line. When it's at its worst, it makes you wonder why you're doing all of this because the reward simply isn't worth it. I love point and click games, but I can't recommend playing this one without a guide.
