The game succeeds at everything it sets out to do and overflows with care and cuteness. Of course, the message is not much deeper than “we need to protect nature,” but I don’t think the intention is to be an advanced ecology lecture either. With a lot of sweetness, seriousness, and dedication, you guide this young girl through mechanics that are simple yet fun and even slightly innovative. The story is cute, the graphics and art style are wonderful, and the soundtrack is simply beautiful. If there’s one small criticism, it’s that we might have liked just a tiny touch more complexity, but that doesn’t take away from this little gem that delights both children and adults. It’s a cozy game full of oxygen, which is sometimes exactly what we need. I recommend it with all the softness in the world!
