It's not a super long game bit I enjoyed almost every single minute of it.

A lot of good must also be said about its charming feel-good comedy vibes, singular desaturated art style and lively soundtrack.

Point and click basics are distilled to their most essential here: literally all you have to do is talk to everyone and complete their mini game. A few interconnected events open up more locations but there are otherwise no deductions to make, items to gather or problems to mend. This utmost simplicity combines into an enjoyable lighthearted escapade, though perhaps a little too straightforward.

Admittedly, I had more fun discovering each character's unique activity proposal than actually playing them. Many turned out a bit dull, better described as plain interactions than proper gameplay. A few required reflexes, others based on random luck, leading to uneven difficulty. Although each one felt thematically appropriate and comical, few would be really enjoyable on their own.

Playing games and retrying failed attempts passes time towards inevitable narrative beats occurring at specific times. The game is set up in such a way that makes it necessary to play through the story three times to reach the final, true ending. While it makes a plot twist possible halfway through, I would have appreciated it better as a single linear story without having to go through a lot of dialogues and repeated scenes.
