One of my all time favourite games, and one I've played many times on my Switch. This is the first time I played it on my Steam Deck, and the experience was just as enjoyable.

The game is crafted masterfully. The UI is easy to navigate, the OST reflects the mood, and the sound effects are so enjoyable! It all comes together to create such a relaxing experience that gives as much as you want to take from it.

For those who enjoy story, it's told here in so many unconventional ways. From the music, small photos, items appearing and disappearing. Even what plays when you turn music players or game consoles on! It all tells the story of the character, but gives enough room for detachment if this is an element the player isn't interested in as well.

The achievements are fun and silly, a lot of them things you'd discover naturally during a playthrough. The gameplay is also intuitive to understand - though it take me several playthroughs to realise I could activate objects whilst not holding them!

The only thing I don't like is that the zoom of the camera often feels too close, or too far. This is something I'm happy to overlook though, as the game has given me so much joy since it was released.
