Oh man the art, the style, the theme the interpretations of mental health and anxiety. This game has it all!

So I'm gonna get the bad out of the way first and then gush with praise after. Mostly minor things but some were kinda irritating.

I don't know if I missed the explanation or not but I had no idea you could freely move the tiles around even if they didn't match. There were a couple of times where I had no matching swipes and I failed because I wasn't aware I could do that.

The hold and drag mechanic with the little sideways peggle board was really cool but the input didn't seem to take if you were holding the mouse button prior to the guide image disappearing, so it just didn't work for me until I figured that out. There was also 1 time where it just randomly got stuck on the peg on the bottom and it would NOT move.

Finally the stop shaking prompt/minigame. It gets kinda confusing with the left and right button prompts being the same colour. Maybe that was intended by design but if they were a different colour for left and right click it would have been easier to read.

Anyways I know that seems like a lot but it's all very minor issues.

WOW this game is just fantastic all over. The art from start to finish was brilliant perfect gorgeous. The characters look great and are so well drawn the little cut-scenes and character portraits were great. And the UI design (with the exception of the previously mentioned issues) was absolutely spot on across the board.

The audio and music was great it felt like it really fit the tone of the environment and there were no sound issues or SFX that felt out of place, it felt really well matched entirety.

The gameplay mix between the match game and staving off anxiety attacks / shaking / intrusive thoughts / answering your dates questions was just genius. It struck the perfect balance between "OH GOD WHAT DO I ANSWER" and "OH GOD I NEED TO MATCH THESE THINGS". It was stressful enough to be exciting and fun without going overboard and stressing me out.

Story was fantastic, ending was great. Not going to spoil it if anyone is reading this. Go play it for yourself.

yooooo we got a Signature Ecks Review (tm)!!

thanks so much for playing - this is great feedback! (coloring the left/right buttons differently is such an obvious + low effort:reward ratio change, we're surprised we didn't think of it earlier! i think we got too good at our own game and missed a couple things lol)
