Super sweet little story, especially with autumn in the air. Gonna make myself a hot chocolate :)

I can't describe how excited I was when I saw this game. I knew I had to play it and WOW it completely surpassed my expectations! The phone visuals and little speech bubbles are just so cool, I can't get over them. Literally everything about this game is wonderful, the presentation, the music, the gui, and especially the story! 

I recognized Theo and Mica, but getting to know them and the other characters was so fun. I wasn't expecting to relate to Theo so hard, but damn, everything they said really hit. Everyone feels so human, how do you write this good are you magic. (I may or may not have teared up when Mica pulled out a second crab)

It was a perfect bite sized game and I'll be thinking about it for a while.
