I do think this game is VERY overpriced for being able to 100% it in 3 hours. that being said, it is a very pretty game and the puzzles are fun, though quite simple. if you dont like difficult puzzles then i definitely reccomend picking this up on a big sale.
The game is fine, it's a decent way to spend a couple hours if you like basic puzzles and walking through gardens, but $25 is just way too much for something this short and easy with a narrative this basic and minimal. I'd say $10 at most and even that might be a stretch. Also, none of the achievements had any business being hidden. They aren't spoilers, just weird obscure interactions you're very unlikely to stumble on organically without a guide. For example, you get one for sitting on a chair for a full minute. Not a specific chair, just any one of the hundred or so throughout the game.
10/10 game but super overcosted, I would recommend it if the game was $5 or if you manage to get it from Humble Bundle like I did.
