It was quite charming and very well animated, although I think the time system adds an unnecessary pressure that discouraged me from wanting to fully explore each area. Once I discovered that attempts to fill in the family tree also took time I ignored that part of the game entirely.

I'm sure it's to encourage repeat play throughs but I'm not sure why that would be seen as a better system as simply not having the time limit and allowing me to just talk to all the characters at my own pace, or retry minigames without then being locked out from having enough time to visit other people.
