Delightful little game about life and your journey through it. Lovely little puzzles to find and solve in each level if you want to. The interactions of all the different items was great fun to explore with. I especially loved messing around in school
Not a ton of depth in the execution of the possession mechanic beyond basic physics interactions (making things fall over, stacking them, etc), and it would have been nice to see more systems-driven gameplay mechanics here. Still, it's charming in a children's book way, and short enough that it doesn't get stale, even if it might be best as a game for parents to play with their kids.
This is obviously an absolute masterpiece in local co-op. Artstyle, story, amount of shenanigan-potential, it's all there. Fantastic.
