Press Quotes
“...a small, simple, but incredibly affecting story that showcases the power of the ability to encourage empathy through the most basic expressions of humanity and imagination.” -Gamespot “Genuinely funny and heartfelt moments take place throughout, all working seamlessly together to create a commentary on the importance of friendships and the pain inherent in letting go.” -IGN “I guess the music's nice-ish, but it sounds kinda ripped off from To the Moon...” -Developer's Aunt
