    This game makes me fearful of losing someone, but it's impossible to live life without having experience it. The rest of the emotions is in the game, it's too much to explain.

    Decent game, I can't remember when I bought it, but I know I bought it because of the good reviews and before I realized that I didn't like puzzle games like this. I decided to go ahead and play it because, well, I paid for it so might as well. The story was a bit boring for me, but that doesn't make it a bad game or anything. I really enjoyed the art style. I'd definitely recommend this game to anyone that likes…

    the full game doesn't properly support touch controls... a point and click that doesn't support touch... According to another player, the demo does support touch. What happened?
