A Cute Love Story
Love is... in Small Things is a very cute narrative game that has some amazing art, calming music, and a cute love story to enjoy. The gameplay is very simple, but it's not the main point of the game. I think the most charming thing about it is the calming atmosphere and the message that author wants to convey here. I never heard about this artist Puuung before I played the game, but I'm definitely subscribinhg to her lovely channel now!
"I believe love emits light from small things and comes in ways that we can easily overlook in our daily lives. So I work to find little moments of couples in love and translate them into illustrations and animations."
- Puuung
For me playing this game felt like something familiar from my childhood memories, but I couldn't catch it rightaway. Halfway through the game and I realized that the mesage this author wanted to convey was very similar to one from a bubble gum brand with a name "Love is...". Probably from your part of the world you've never heard of this brand before (though please let me know in the comments if you did!), but from where I'm from this little bubble gum was pretty popular long time ago. It always came with a small piece of paper inside that included a cute illustration and a message about what love is about. I'd always chew the bubble gum while carefully reading through the little piece of paper. And surprisingly, the game gave me exactly the same kind of feeling (only without a bubble gum) :D
Also, if you think that solving the puzzles is too much for you and you just want to enjoy the full animated story, then Puuung has a full video of it on her YouTube channel! It's like watching a very well-made illustrations book and it's about an hour long.
