Recently, Emil's Game Room reviewed The Bonsai Dairy, and I am delighted by what they experienced! Here are some highlights that caught my attention:

Often, I would find myself returning to themes or just imagining the future design of my bonsai in quiet moments throughout the day. Even though it isn’t complex, the game is elegant and left a big impression on me.

[The Bonsai Diary] challenges us to consider not only how we nurture something delicate and beautiful but also how we leave marks that endure even when we’re no longer around. The game prompts introspection, and if my experience is anything to go by, it will leave you pondering long after you’ve put down your pen. In an age of fast-paced digital distractions, this tactile, thoughtful experience is a sanctuary of sorts. So, take the plunge—you might just find it’s not just your bonsai tree that grows, but perhaps a part of yourself as well.
