Reviews
Overall, I thought it was well-written and looked nice. The grandma is a neat character, very intriguing. And the UI is beautiful.

C'était vraiment très mignon ! La quantité de texte et l'interface soignée sont impressionnants pour 4h.

Très sympa, progression logique et fluide, on se prend au jeu de remplir toutes les missions données par Mamie.

Ah, the amusing lightbulb moment when you realize the reason for the title. Very cute. I liked Suzette, and just going through the simple tasks and petting animals while gradually learning more about the grandmother.
