Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“If you are sensitive to motion sickness I would advise against this game. I tried to play it twice and had to put it down because of the nausea I got. I definitely didn't get 2 hours of actual game play in, as you can't save in the middle…”
“So close to recommending this game because it is a beautiful experience. However, the broken flower sticker near the calendar that keeps you from your final task, and your final achievement, really kills that experience.”
