    Sounds nice. I'm honestly surprised it hasn't come out on mobile. While it was quite beautiful on the switch, I imagine the visuals could be somewhat compromised and remain quite striking, and the gameplay is certainly straightforward enough.

        I suppose it was a combination of the repetitiveness of the game, that I didn't feel super engaged in anyone's stories, and that I found the in-town sections to be far too long. Literally the dialogue seemed like it could have been trimmed by maybe half it's words.
