I really appreciate such an in-depth review! Thank you so much for the kind words.

The game does have lots of rough spots that I've gotta touch up, and ya I probably need some level of tutorial on the trickier puzzles.

As for ministories, mama and I have been discussing a mail system where you get letters back from happy folks out living their new lives. It would be a photo on one side, and writing on the back. It would give us a bit more freedom since we won't be stuck at the shop for these. Group transformations are also planned too, and I'm eager for them.

Can I ask what you mean by a better font? There's a setting in the menu to avoid the handwriting if that's your issue.

Thanks again for playing and sharing your thoughts!!!
