Everything in Wattam is colorful and friendly, and it often feels like you’re reading a children’s storybook with bright characters that are always helpful and seldom mean. Even the way Wattam brings up challenges to the character feels similar to the storybooks, such as a telephone base that has lost its telephone receiver, and players are expected to track it down.
