Verdict (★★★★★★★★☆☆)
Much like Animal Restaurant, HHD2 is an addictive piece of work that has surprised me thoroughly, for it has exceeded my expectations. For one, nothing gives me more joy than reading a story that tugs at my heartstrings.
HHD2 stands out from the crowd thanks to the attention to detail and charm the developer has invested into the game. Speaking from experience, I'd say that the cosy feel-good game proves to be an excellent choice for anyone to invest hours in. After all, it is easy to play in spurts and doesn't keep one's attention for very long.
