Even the description of the game is already supremely cozy! Everything about this game conveys a message of inner peace. I greatly appreciate the emotions this evoked in me :)
I love the handwritten stuff and all the tiny polishes. The sounds are calming, the birds and boats add a nice variety. Bumping into a friend is an amazing feeling.
It’s a small touch, but I like how the game is set in the real world. It’s not unnamed water world, but a journey from Australia to the Arctic. Kinda adds a level of relatability and honesty to it. And a bit of education, too! Another small touch that is lovely is the slowly changing hue.
I’m a bit sad that the fishes are afraid of the whales, but I can’t blame them.

Pirate SageThis was a fun experience. It was so pretty and I was pleasantly surprised when I made a whale friend. I was less pleasantly surprised when all the schools of fish ran away from me and my new whale friend :(
Jokes aside, the minimalistic visuals and soothing sounds was an amazing experience. I hope I got to see all that it has to offer!
