You’ve returned to your hometown and get in touch with your old friends again.
GAMEPLAY: You run through the little town again and again to activate conversations and mindless minigames. When the daily hangout is over, you can go to bed, wake up and repeat again.
AUDIOVISUALLY: It’s cute enough. Music is alright but somewhat forgettable.
STORY/PRESENTATION: This game is all about the dialog, and it’s funny and relatable at times, but due to the lack of gameplay and any clear goal, I always got bored out of my mind after just 15-20 minutes of each play session.
For me, every single thing that happens feels like filler and padding, and I had to look up a guide to make sure I was actually heading anywhere. I did warm up to the characters at the end, but this game was not for me.
