I truly loved this game. The way it interprets the theme “grow” feels both simple and deeply meaningful. Watching your baby monster grow little by little—although, humorously, she grows incredibly fast—creates a strong emotional connection from the very beginning. What I found especially interesting is that the game doesn’t allow you to do anything else except care for her, show affection, and help her grow. That limitation is actually its greatest strength.
As the monster grows, the small box that once contained her slowly becomes too tight, until it eventually disappears. To me, this visual change carries a beautiful metaphor. My personal interpretation of the ending is that she has grown so much that she no longer depends on us as a parent, and that is why she is no longer visible on the screen. It feels like a quiet, bittersweet moment of letting go.
(At this point I knew what was coming, I didn't want her to leave😔☝️)
