Cozy, but heartbreaking. A good game to help with grief.

Death is a ritual, a beautiful one if executed properly.

Also I have ptsd from seeing flowers on beds thanks to this stupid game.

It's not particularly good.

The art style is gorgeous and the animation is smooth but it lacks heart and emotion, despite very clearly swinging for that vibe.

Plus for something that takes place in the after life, it feels like almost any other game in any other world. The spirits all work jobs, eat food, complain about their aches and pains and gardens. They don't often *feel* like spirits resolving their life stories, and often they come to fairly sudden and anticlimactic ends where they basically decide' welp, time to go'

Plus the actual mechanics are just not terribly fun.

So, not cozy enough to be cozy.
Not cute enough to be cute.
And not emotionally resonant enough to be meaningful.

Shame, I was excited for it
