How does your game match the theme?
Ari is a person who moved in pretty recently in this city and pretty frequently feels out of place, Ari have an alien feel that they don't belong. We tried to talk about space as in going to a new place and the implications of living with other people that you care about.
In a literal sense, the gameplay is based on sokobans, which are focused on putting boxes on slots, as a way to represent the kitchen cleaning, essentially Ari is cleaning a place and organizing a space.

Love the look of the game and the concept! The music fits well too and trying to create all the different types of cakes feels great. I did feel there was a bit too much dialogue and sometimes repetitive in places but on the whole, I really enjoyed the game!
That was fun! The art and soundtrack is proficient and cute. There's a solid mix of puzzle and VN elements. The story is heartfelt and endearing. Great work!
Loved the art and the puzzles, got the bad ending but it was still wholesome, awesome job
Nice done. I loved the art style and the story.
