i admire good puzzle design a lot (because its crazy difficult) and this game does it amazingly well.
this game bursts with charme! the open world isn't too big, but filled with little things to do - almost all of which are optional for completing the game. usually with games like these the completionist urge to work towards a "perfect save" is tiring and takes away from my enjoyment of the game, but with this one, it didn't detract from the calm enjoyment i got from playing towards the main goal of hiking up the mountain.
on top of that, the game's visuals are amazingly cute and along with the music create the perfect backdrop to this adorable little world.
