I have to say it's been some time since I have really absorbed myself in to a game. What had drawn me in to begin with was its animation, very pleasing with a dreamy glowing aesthetic every where you go. It truly was an imperturbable experience as I felt very at ease in mind and spirit during my time with it. All in all, a great game with a solid amount of content to keep you drawn to it!

this is like 50% too long

Play De Blob instead, goofy ahh uncami fans

This game is great for a first playthrough but it's a chore, the user interface and user experience is the worst I have ever seen in a japanese game. (Maybe Dragon's Dogma comes close) The UI and UX is is peak 6th generation garbage. It didn't age too well.

About the writing and characters:
Issun becomes a likable character but he is creepy and annoying most of the time.
Also it has this weird japanese stereotype that is basically: Sleeping = Lazy. For some reason this rubs me the wrong way.
It really annoys me that the characters, especially issun are always condescending, and for some reason the game always wants to teach you something about morality and attitude. And it feels awful.
