The game has fleshed out and improved over time, so if you tried it early on, give it another chance.

Relaxing, adorable, indie developed and a joy to play. It's simple but executed well, and the little meows when you move the pieces make my heart happy.
I would do a few puzzles at a time to chill & 2 hrs was accurate gameplay time for me.

I'm not mentally equipped for this game.

This is a platformer-lite, with not great consistency with the fps, but a great narrator and a cool style. My 1.8 hrs was with me messing up a couple of bits.
I actually really enjoyed it. It's a simple review but since it's sitting at Mixed, I wanted to say it was worth the playthrough for me!

I adored this game, as you can tell by my game time. I did as much of a full complete as I could and then re-did the endings. I cried & I laughed and I still listen to the soundtrack when I read, it really is beautiful. The effort and love that has gone into this game is palpable. Some of the workshop mods are excellent tweaks to the game. Which is free. Which is ridiculous.

I think at this point I am tapping out. 10+ hours and it's too grind-ey and annoying. I'll go back in for little bits but finishing this just feels like a chore. It has such potential, and if you are smarter than me perhaps it won't be as infuriating for you. Play it for sure it's cute and runs smoothly for me, but it's a commitment if you want to get to the later levels.

An addictive reiteration, true enough to Theme Hospital to be nostalgic - but fresh enough to be a modern fun experience.

This isn't the longest game, I completed a playthrough taking my time in 3 hours, then replayed it to grab a couple of achievements I missed which is the total playtime.

It always runs with vsync (or half) on, but on my system it ran happily at my 72fps. They have not fixed any FOV options however and initially this along with the headbob & weird swayey movement made me feel very off. Within about half an hour though I had got used to it and didn't notice it anymore. Other people however have had issues with it making them feel sick throughout, so worth keeping in mind if you are sensitive to it.

It's a gorgeous, simple little game - little more than a walking simulator, but that isn't a bad thing - it is a very good example of it done right. I can't say that I got emotional at all (which normally happens easily for me), but I felt satisfied by the conclusions of the game.

An easily 100%able sweet and beautiful game, though yes I agree that the full price listing is just too high, but worth grabbing in a sale if it seems like your sort of thing.

So I am running on a GTX 970, with the game on high. I completed all of the normal levels, and attempted the bonus levels (but I suck at platformers and give up too easily, so never completed them). I get a consistent 62fps in 1080 resolution on ALL levels, I had no problems graphically at all, no crashes, nada.

(However, anyone else notice the tiny red placement markers for missing graphics now and again? XD Really not obvious but quite funny).

It's quite a beautiful game, but motion blur is a thing in it as you move which makes it blurry so if you are particulary sensitive to that it cannot be turned off.

Without the bonus levels, but with them unlocked, I played for a little under an hour. I actually really enjoyed it. The difficulty - respawn at checkpoints in the main game, is ideal for me as I do give up too easily. The progression is good with the skills. This "ease" is balanced out by the fact that the extra unlocked levels do not have these checkpoints so add more of a test for those more patient than myself.

I wouldn't review, except that this game has a poor rating which I don't think is entirely deserved. It has been included in bundles, and has been on sale for a very small price ($0.49). It really was a pleasant experience. (The music is a little repetative but for the playtime it's certainly not THAT bad to deal with, in general I liked it). And for less than full price it's a nice little hour or twos game. A simple little experience, but worthwhile.

I enjoyed the first Drizzlepath, and if it wasn't for the voice acting, I would have enjoyed this enough to recommend it.

The scenery is repetitive, and the walking goes on for too long without differentiation in direction or a real sense of progress (which I get is partly the point but there should be a way to do both).
I do however like the idea of the story, and I love the poetic nature of the narrative. And it's pretty enough to be nice to look at and screenshot.
I got 5/6 hours out of it, completing both paths and the achievements were nicely done and 100%able within that time period.
Unfortunately within a few minutes of the game I cringed at the singular voice of the protagonist. This innocent voice that is meant to be so articulate and emotive, sounds like a young girl reading poetry she doesn't really understand to the teacher in school. It constantly dragged me out of the world, and actually irritated me quite alot. Such a shame.
