Playing it for free was a waste of time
(Review based on Epic Game Store version from free giveaway; I'd like people who spend money on this to know what they're getting into.) The art and sound are actually great, but the gameplay is barely there; and what's there is unexciting and frustrating. If the game explained anything, it would have been immediately apparent how shallow it was. So instead, the game hides everything to make you "explore." The problem is, exploration in this game is fundamentally unrewarding. Since the gameplay is shallow, there is only one way to win and it's fairly obvious once you know what everything does. There are no clever solutions to be found in your exploration. You keep trying random things until you find the one thing that's obviously the best. To hide that, the game slows down how fast you can explore by giving everything a non-refundable gold cost, and making gold trick in very slowly over time. Then, to hide how slowly gold tricks in, the game gives your horse a stamina bar, making it painfully slow to move across the map and explore, so by the time you're back to your base you'll have a meaningful amount of gold to do something with. In the end, none of it worked. The early gameplay consists of arbitrarily doing random things only to find them almost completely useless, and waiting for more gold to come in while you're holding down a direction key to slowly move from one place to another. Outside of that, there is very little game left.
