This is such a cute little game! I love the design; the little spirits are so sweet. I played as an adorable Mossling and had a great time working towards success or failure. It was super close there for a moment, but I managed to achieve Glade Peacefulness without waking my mentor. Phew!
There are a few things that could make it even more whimsical and a little more engaging. Firstly, I found myself not always reading the event descriptions, as there was not much vested interest beyond the numbers. Including a journaling element alongside the dice could help players feel more immersed in the world (I am also a sucker for a journaling element, so that could just be me, haha!). Secondly, a very minor thing that honestly does not impact overall gameplay too much: I found myself getting a little frustrated rolling repeat numbers towards the end. Adding a touch of variation to certain events might help keep things feeling fresh throughout.
I am an amateur designer myself, so please take my thoughts with that in mind; my own games are far from perfect! I just wanted to share what I experienced as a player and fellow creative.
That said, I really enjoyed the overall experience. The tone, setting, and guardian options all feel wonderfully cosy and imaginative. It is such a lovely concept that encourages relaxation and gentle storytelling. I love a cosy, whimsical experience that you can simply pick up and play, and Little Glade Guardian provides exactly that.
I have been meaning to try The Wandering Library as well, and will definitely be prioritising it!
