this one is beautiful! love the bittersweet ending.

my first playthrough the music wasn't working (headphone error on my end, nothing wrong with the game). this gave me the perfect excuse to play it again! this time i tried to get all the collectibles (i ended up with 9), and picked up on a lot more of the foreshadowing

the art is absolutely marvelous! music is great to, though sometimes sound effects would clash with it in weird ways (i think the star-collecting sound was the main culprit). i've already touched on it a bit, but the story was very well-executed. the collectibles provided enough of a hint to what was coming that i started to have growing suspicions towards the end (even missing some of the more obvious ones, like the horse drawing). i liked the other things that tied in at the end too, like the "j. dove" payoff

i thought the minigames were great! some of them i took a few tries to get the three stars, but i got them eventually. then on my second go-around, i got the hang of them enough to get them all first try c: the stars felt fair, though the first game didn't seem to have a failure point? i intentionally tried messing up (raking and shoveling in the wrong order) and still got three stars. that doesn't seem bad (especially for the first game, and an introduction to the stars mechanic) but it threw off a bit, haha

Nice game. I liked how you pay attention to the details, which fits the mood of the game very well. Only one suggestion comes to my mind: Sometimes when you switch scenes back and forth, like looking into the drawer and back outside, things suddenly changed. Perhaps it would be nice if she speaks about it or mentions that she fetched/prepared some things. I think it might support the flow of events well. Hopefully, this makes sense.

Nice looking game but how do you get to the garden.  It looks like there are patio doors out to the garden, but they don't click at least for me?

Also, when I got the gardening tools where did they go?

Could use some UI elements to show items in inventory or recently picked up?

The graphics are very cute!

This was quite interesting. Love your variety of minigames and the art style. The narrative is very engaging, and the story keeps you going throughout the game.

Various bits of information scattered throughout, along with collectibles, add more realism to the story and build immersion. It feels polished.

I keep wondering if the story has alternative endings.
