A sweet game with cozy assembling puzzles. Story felt lacking, but the gameplay was relaxing & fun nonetheless.

This review contains spoilers

This game was 10,000 years long until Estelle left for ice cream.

Absolute gem. Adored flying through this game and all of its maddening dlc. Supports were so cute, maps were so fun. 10/10, would Snark and Bark again. 👑

Listen, this game sticks to my heartstrings like peanut butter, and my nostalgia goggles are forever strapped on tight. Prep yourself for terrible dub voices, mega-cringe humor at every female characters' expense, and jarring lyrical revisions (but was it needed? was it, truly??).

Nonetheless, it has been 5 months since finishing my playthrough on the PSP, and I love it all the same. The updated look was fresh, and the retuning of dungeon mechanics were a welcome addition for me, who craved a simple cozy game to play during a hectic year. Despite all of its failings, this game allowed me to revisit a charming childhood classic, filling that anime-vibes-only, jrpg-sized place in my heart.

Dungeons and dragons and Amberprice. 🔥🔥

"YOU SET ME UP" - Me, as the entire crew opened the contamination room doors to me standing over my bestie's corpse with a knife in my hand.

Needed an easier way to evict the athletes and snooties from my shores. 🙃👎

Honestly, so bummed. For the past month, this truly was my go-to for a cozy fun time. If it weren't for all the game-freezing bugs, I would have rated this highly, as it's truly an adorable gem of a game.

Would suggest buying this for a very low price (Steam sale?), but stay away from the Switch version, which is riddled with time-wasting, game-breaking bugs for now.

Was it cringe? Yes.
Did I sink hours into this game, playing it every day for a month to unlock all the endings and pretty CGs? I certainly did.😌💖

Oof, the animations and character designs were pretty hard for me to get past right off the bat. I also couldn't really see what made this game more compelling than other management sim games that are more inventive with their themes/mechanics. Nbd, just not for me. ¯\(ツ)/¯

That cog puzzle is going to give me stress dreams. What a GEM.

You had me at wall sphincters.

Ate a mushroom and had a delightful experience.
