The chores are just slightly too long, really tested my patience.
Square format camera is a nice way to adhere to the theme.
The whole experience was interesting and artful, even though it was simple - but simple can also be good. Very finished and complete narrative-based interactive experience. I particularly found the ending very beautiful.
What an epic, I did not expect it will actually take me to war. Aiming with A/D and shooting with E was hard, but that's just the same man still being a gardener. The story's depth and subtle take on the theme is appreciated.
Like someone else said, default UI element is a bit raw, but I get most of the compo time window was spent polishing visuals and making that smooth movement work. It was a pleasure to play this.
