I heard about this game from a friend of mine sometime ago, and the main hook for both of us was that it took place in Portugal, the country we live in.
Of course, that got me intrigued, and I'll say right now, when it comes to the Portuguese dialogue, it's pretty good and similar to what you'd hear here in Portugal.

Thing is... I don't think the game has much going for it outside of that. The game's pixelated art-style is charming, but sometimes I wished that this game was presented differently.
Like, imagine if this was a game where you got to explore the park in a 3D setting, and not as awkwardly as you do here.
Thankfully, with the press of the right-click button on the mouse, you can move quickly between areas, but sometimes you have to move a bit to one side to scroll the screen, and then you can move.
And considering that there isn't much to scroll, it feels kinda haphazardly put together.

Its story is okay, but I also feel like it doesn't have much going for it, and it left me kinda empty by the end, because its conclusion was not satisfying at all.

Overall, A Date in the Park is definitely a game that just kinda exists.

Is this a slice of life?

Kinda, it's more of a mystery game.

Ah, and I take it the mystery ain't that great?

Yeah, because like I said in my review, the ending of it was super unsatisfying.
