A first look:

At first, I was a bit afraid it might have been too hard, but I've been doing surprisingly well on normal. Yet the nagging feeling that I'll get stuck somewhere soon rose again. Then I discovered it has a lovely range of accessibility options that make it pretty much so anyone can tune it to their taste, making it as hard or as easy as you like. I was in heaven—no pun intended!
This means I can enjoy this cute game to bits in my style and feel, aka just laid back and enjoying it to the fullest.
I would have already thumbed it up just for that, but there is so much more to it.
The fact that I can turn off photosensitivity is a massive plus for me, too; ever since my brain tumour surgery, I have been a bit sensitive to flashing, especially when I'm tired or having a bad day. Now, I don't have to interrupt my gameplay or flee for a while when it acts up, and I'm so thankful for that.

It has to be said that the art style and music are amazing, too! The characters I've met so far are super charming. Kendra, for example! She gave me a few laughs, so calm and collected, while casually banning friends to the afterlife. Totally normal, no biggie! I think she secretly wants the whole palace to herself! And it's not only their personality but also their design and style that I like a lot. It just all feels so delightful, and I'm here for it. And Pebbles is so cute, too. It all excites me to meet everyone else (and their stories)!

Of course, the hoarde... euh, I mean... The collector in me is very satisfied, too, since I already found a few of the collectables, and I'm thrilled to search for the others. I hope I can find and collect everything! I can't wait to see what other abilities I can acquire and collect. The puzzler in me is super happy, too; they're enjoyable. This whole game has been, so far, actually.
And don't even get me started on the hack-and-slasher within me. I got a broom, and I can slap it around like there is no tomorrow, which kind of got me in trouble in the first place... But I think it's fun to have something else for a change, then yet another sword. Plus, it kind of really fits my janitor role, huh?

But for now, I'm back to exploring since I have RL stuff to do soon and want to spend as much time as possible in the game until then since I won't be able to return for a while.
