❤ Gameplay Overview

The core gameplay loop tasks players with finding a list of items hidden within 10 main levels and 3 bonus levels, each introduced through a short live-action puppet cutscene that provides context and advances the narrative.

❤ Hidden Object Gameplay

Players comb through the game's detailed, colorful scenes to locate the objects listed on the side of the screen. The slightly surreal, illustrated art style is pleasant to visually explore. While the object lists can be vague at times, the game provides a generous hint system to assist players if they get stuck. Additionally, the object descriptions add extra flavor text that contributes to the quirky world-building.

❤ Level Variety

The developers mix up the hidden object gameplay in a few ways. Some levels feature dynamic scenes that pan or scroll, requiring players to search a wider area. There is also one level with reverse hidden object mechanics, where players must find all the non-listed items in the scene. The variety, combined with the engaging narrative, helps maintain player interest throughout the relatively short experience.

❤ Accessibility Features

The game includes several accessibility-minded features. Players can zoom in and out of the scenes using the mouse wheel, and an unlimited hint system is available to prevent frustration. However, some players have noted minor issues, such as a buggy caption toggle and a lack of a standalone exit button.
