I was a backer on the Kickstarter for this game. I had been holding out for console version before I got the game but recently decided to go for the steam key. So I didn't get this for free, I prepaid. lol So I've only had this game for a few days, but I'm loving it. There's a lot of things I enjoy about the game play but the biggest is probably the global storage, you can access your storage chests from anywhere in the game. There's a lot of options to customize things within the game settings to change up hot keys and even the speed of the day, I have mine set to the lowest setting so the days don't feel super rushed. I adore the art style, it's all so beautiful whether it's the 3D animated aspects or the still image art (my personal favorite) it's wonderfully created.

Despite this game being released nearly 2 years ago it is not in a state I would expect from a complete game. There are constant bugs, balancing issues, and if you in any way tamper with the games settings you are forced to restart the game losing all progress for that day. It's a shame because the art style of the character profiles is very beautiful and I really enjoy the environmentally consciousness take the game makes.

I bought this game on sale for like $25 because I didn't think it was worth the $30 price point when I initially added it to my wishlist, and I have to unfortunately confirm that suspicion. This game still feels like it's in early access with bugs that should have been patched by now like unable-to-pick-up dropped items and janky movements that make the game feel far from fluid.

I do enjoy the collection. storytelling, and characters in this game. I felt like I was making genuine progress, but I agree with some other people here that the game takes awhile to fall into and I think that has a a lot to do with these bugs and stagnation of movement. Combat specifically is not fun due to the weird depth perception, and I'll have monsters do damage to me even after they die. Things like bug catching and tool use are also impacted by this.

This game takes clear inspiration from others like Stardew Valley and even makes points to improve where those games fall short, but in turn lacks what makes other farming games satisfying and enjoyable to play. There's a lot of potential here but in it's current state it is not worth the $30.

The game is good. I like the character designs, I love decorating in my ingame houses but I don't spend enough time inside to bother which means the gameplay loop is entertaining
I will say some of the character portraits are lazily done, I could genuinely have done better myself.. Uh, just things like not colouring inside the lines, and colouring outside the lines despite being used as backgroundless pngs really does my tits in but besides that, I really don't have anything bad to say :)
