The jump to 3d really adds to the impact of that moment. I love games that leverage an engine's ability to mix 2d and 3d like that. There's a surprising amount of detail in the setup of the tilemap in the main game- like how bushes don't have collisions.
The farming is a little slow, and I had to go out of my way to water the plants sideways because it does not look like a watering can from some angles.
I didn't get past the night, so I don't know if there's a segment after that to match the "unexpectedly wholesome" category. I haven't played any submissions that really go for that yet.. mine doesn't either. Anyway, this was pretty fun.
