Pretty great

It's a pretty cool game, entertaining with lots to do. Have been playing for several hours and still want to keep going. That said, there are quite a lot of things I find confusing though, don't know if it's a newbie thing or the game does pourly on explaining some of it's mecanics. Also, everytime autosave starts it lags heavily for me.

Is this helpful to you?

OMG! This game surprised me!

I like city builders and wanted to try something new. And this was the best I've played in a long time! It's cosy, charming, calming, fun and simple. You can let your creativity flow with many buildings being customizable. Not to mention all the decorative things you can place where ever you want. TRY IT!

Nice city builder

Slow phased, pretty, rather relaxing city builder. I might spend way too much time almost bankcrypt, but that might be on me. Other than that, very nice game which I gladly restarted after 4 years. I especially like free positioning for buildings and naturally created paths, which force me to think how to position things, so that paths won't ruin the fields etc.

coud be better

Game is cute, fun and pretty, but there are some much needed QoL improvements needed. For example, when villager leaves, it should tell you, which job he was doing. Or which building is not full etc.
