👍 Strengths

50 reviews praise the story, calling it surprisingly touching, with multiple endings and hidden items to find. 45 enjoy its world, a rural summer atmosphere built on an urban legend, and some find the title character cute and charming. 43 found it fun and engaging despite its length, and a few say it made them cry. Story & World appears in 76% of analyzed reviews and ranks 395th of 1096. Visuals & Sound ranks 1008th of 1249.

👎 Where it falls short

65 reviews say the content is too short for the price, and some reach both endings in about an hour. Content Volume ranks 1313th of 1351. 11 think the price is too high for what it offers, and some note it has little actual horror. 8 find the visuals rough, with stiff animations and low quality graphics outside the main character model, and a few spot texture holes.
