    I'm gonna be honest, this game disappointed me a little. Unfortunately, the cute graphics do not make up for the slow and boring gameplay, and the minigames which ended up being more tedious than fun. For a game that's not an idle game, there's a lot of idle waiting time. While I get that the story is meaningful and emotional, due to the slow pacing of the game I couldn't get into the story, I just wanted to move on…
