I have some detexerity issues from a health condition, so I was nervous that I would find the game too hard to play, but the sewing assist is very helpful and you can adjust the speed, plus there is no timer so you can take it as you need to.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I love the sound effects of the scissors cutting and the sewing machine going.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
7 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Each character is adorably ridiculous in their own way, and each feels unique.
