Is there something wrong with me? I found this game to be weirdly stressful. There are collectathon aspects here but seemingly no way to tell how much progress you have made towards completion. The environment is quite visually noisy and samey with the lack of a map leading to a sense of feeling lost rather than a sense of adventure.

The story and style seemed to be unsure which generation it was trying to appeal to; millennial nostalgia, GenZ’s cool indifference or the screen-first experiences of Gen Alpha. The vibe is family friendly but I don’t know if this is a game for kids?

Whatever, it’s fine. The whole experience just made me uneasy and it shouldn’t have.

avery! seemed like a fun lil guy tho.

Okay I went back to see if I could 100% this game as a "Brains Out Music On" experience and I did not realise that post game you can "Ask Jill" for item locations. Still salty about the lack of map and weird tone choices and also that I had to use a guide to get the last few achievements because they're for things you wouldn't gravitate towards naturally through exploration.
