Thoughts:
The puzzles are too easy, I never struggled with them at all until the end, where the game suddenly forces a timer on you to solve them.
The Zelda references are just that, references. There’s no combat in this game, and there are no items that let you back track and find new areas.
All the villagers you save from the tower give you annoying fetch quests in order to increase your heart/friendship level with them. I did a lot of them, but there’s no reward other than some minor cosmetics, or items that help you with other fetch quests.
This is a “cozy” game, and there’s not any stress associated with the task completion. The story isn’t that deep either. I can’t say I absolutely loved playing this game, but it was an okay way to pass the time.
