This is a game that speaks to me, with meaningful choices that make sense for a change (and replayable too, despite the shortness). A portal fantasy done right, familiar and exotic at the same time, that invites dreaming of more. A story that doesn't overstay its welcome, tense but not cringey, and dramatic for the right reasons. That's a rare blend, one I'll be sure to savor a while longer. Try it, maybe.
Why can't more story games be like Legend of the Missing Hat? With light prose, no drama and cuteness everywhere, it's still a joy to replay eight years after release: truly a healing story, as I heard them called recently. It also does the "small protagonist in a human-scale home" trope very well, something not many others can claim. Too bad it's not a little bit longer, but then maybe that would have ruined the magic.
Oh by the way: this game is a very good fit for mobile devices. Try it out!
