But, after a bit, most of the bit-inspired music became repetitive to a fault when long conversations occurred. The music also followed the presentation of the rest of the game - wonderfully adorable. However, as I progressed through the game, I noticed it was only for conversation text boxes and not every spot where reading was required.

It’s also appreciated that there’s some customization with font sizes for the game (it started painfully small on my Nintendo Switch). The characters, in addition to their text narration, also offer comical reactions to the situations - only elevating my joy for the game. With the simple low-poly characters, mixed with a vibrant color scheme, I was quickly sucked into the appeal. In addition to loving the themes within Button City, I absolutely adore the aesthetic of the game. The conclusion is a bit hokey, but really drives the notion that this game is about friendship and creating a loving community with the people around you. This is especially done with the poignant writing and fantastic pop culture references sprinkled throughout. Throughout the story, there’s also wonderful moments of complete hilarity, but also one-on-one moments between Fennel and other characters through powerful contexts really elevates the meaning behind each interaction.

As the game progresses, Fennel and his group (The Fluff Squad), build their friendship, engage in some silly shenanigans, and rally together in hopes of saving the town arcade. The story opens up with Fennel, a shy fox that is new to town and quickly becomes friends with some of the arcade-goers in town.
