With over 18,000 reviews, and 98% of them positive, ENA: Dream BBQ is clearly capturing players' hearts. Developed by ENA Team and published by Joel G, this exploration adventure game is the first in a planned series.

Early player reviews echo the positive sentiment. One Steam user enthused, "I’ve known ENA series for a very long time and I have been waiting this game since it was announced. I am really happy that it finally released! The story, the voice acting, the art style, they are all very perfect, also finding the secrets is really fun and some achievements are pretty challenging.”
