unrefined concept, lots of grind

Game feels unbacked, both in story and gameplay The gameplay is kinda bare, quickly feels grindy, some quests exist only to stretch the game some mechanics are blatantly unfinished The story forgets what it is, and changes from a grim satire with cannibalism jokes into a teletubby episode about being nice and loving in a very confusing way. Feels like half the story was written by a redditor and the other was communnaly written by tumblr the humour falls flat, it gets rly childish towards the end. I beat the story 100% on another game host service, And it started to feel like an obligation by the last 15h. I'd recommend skipping this one

Not great, not terrible.

I'm a bit disappointed because, at first glance, the game seems really fun and interesting. However, after a while, you start to notice that some mechanics lack coherence — alchemy, for instance, is nearly impossible to tackle without the wiki. While early progression is rewarding, it gradually loses impact as the story introduces a constant stream of new tasks, making your previous efforts feel somewhat redundant. The map layout is also frustrating, even after unlocking shortcuts. Navigating the world feels like an unnecessary chore... Overall, the game would benefit from a better story, more thoughtfully designed mechanics, and a more meaningful sense of late-game progression.

A timeless classic

I actually prefer playing strategy and RPG games. I was never a big fan of the Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing series, or Stardew Valley although they were great games. But not my cup of tea. Maybe too cute. But with this game, even I got really into it. It's become one of my favorite games. Just so you know: I'm playing the base game with the three add-ons. I'll probably add Better Souls at some point too. The developers make great games, I have no idea where all the very unfair reviews for all of their games come from. Conspiracy? ;) Great entertainment with dark humor. I Luv GOG

Good concept, but not finished

Game has some original ideas and cool mechanics, though at one point it becomes Asian-style grindy, which is my problem for why it's not 5/5 and instead 4/5. Stardew valley requires much less grinding to progress.

I hate these characters.

The early game is hellish, the characters are obnoxious and ungrateful (with a couple of exceptions), every quest is a chain of deals with about 3-5 steps which are usually scuttled by having to wait for specific characters to be available on specific days, and after all the torture nothing meaningful is resolved in the end. You learn a lot about the history of the NPCs but they've acted so rudely that I sincerely don't care about their complex and tragic past. I know other people enjoy this game but I can't for the life of me understand why. Stick to Stardew, Harvest Moon, Song of Seasons- anything but this mean-spirited prank of a 'cozy farm simulator'. To its credit though, after the early game hell, the gameplay loop is kind of okay and the water physics are nice.
