Very barebones feeling RPGmaker story game

I mean it was kinda cute I guess.. but honestly I felt I rather just read a paragraph text of that game with some cozy music… as far RPGmaker short story games go I found this rather dull.

Short (~3h)

Didn’t even finish it
Finishing it even once was miracle
No point to re-play
Nostalgia or jolly co-op
Few runs fun enough to try all routes/variations and unlock everything
Tons of replayability value

Story / characters / development:

There is a story?
Lore exists
Story exists but sucks or does not intrigue
Some of these aspects had it’s moments
Fairly enjoyable – did pay attention to the characters/story for the most part
Very enjoyable – truly enjoyed characters/lore to a point where might had even youtubed/googled for extra info

Pros & Cons:
Cozy aspect to approach pseudo fairy-tale stories
Didn’t catch my interest enough as story presentation felt rather dull

Visuals & Audio:

Your eyes/ears will rot off
Fairly bad
Nothing special
Some aspects are good
Overall quite good
Eye/ear’gasm

Pros & Cons:
Art style was okay…
Barebones

Comments:
Didn’t immerse or interest me enough.

Performance / Hardware requirements:

Stick a cable in your potato
Can manage modern low spec
Average PC make-do
Have “gamer pc” to an extent
High-end PC
NASA PC because game is most likely optimized like garbage or just ultra-high end set-up game

Price-worth ratio:

(Full price when bought: 3EU)
Not worth even for free
Get on -30 to -50 % sale
Get on -60 to -70% sale
Get on -80 to -100% sale
Full price if fanboy and want to throw some money in devs face.

Extra comments:

Honestly.. I don’t mind RPGmaker story games…. but this one just created no intrigue or feelings for me.. I just felt boredom and simply felt I rather do something else.
