This was such a fun and exciting game, and very well made! Even though I have never been a fan of pixel art, the kind of details and love that go into creating the game assets and animation really help me see pixel art in a new light! You can really tell that the team has put a lot of effort and love into the game, because every single element is very well made, from the wind that goes through the characters’ hair and clothes to the little items that make up the puzzles in the game. I tend not to enjoy games and puzzles in visual novels, but the games were really, really fun, and designed in a way that is “gentle” on the players – they are challenging enough to make me feel entertained, but not so much that I feel like giving up on the story! The characters are all very lovable and reminiscent of the Freakaversity gang (but a much more toned-down and non-monster version)! Even though this is only a demo, the game has already got me hooked, and I cannot wait to see the rest of the story and how it develops.
The art, music, and sound effects all come together very nicely to create that 1990s teenage mystery genre vibe… and the kind of wholesomeness that is characteristic of stories from that era. The friendship and interaction between the characters definitely put a smile on my face! Even though they were facing a serious and possibly apocalyptic situation, the characters all manage to still maintain that joie de vivre and lightheartedness characteristic of the beloved characters from Freakaversity. Please try this game if you’re looking for a feel-good, light mystery story with fun interactive games and characters that will put a smile on your face!
