I played this for 4 hours yesterday, and I think that for this game that's a decent amount of time to give an objective review. PROS: Cats. Pudgems is particularly adorable. Petting the cats/animals is so cute. Some of the best character customization I've ever seen. I can have pink/mint/blue skin? AWESOME. Body positivity! YAAASSSS curvy queens! LGBTQ characters! I'm a straight ally but I love representation. This game is what I call "soft baby no fight." It's low impact, no battle. You can easily mute the game to listen to music or watch TV while playing with no game impact. CONS: The controls. OMG the controls. The camera does not auto-rotate as many games do. This is more similar to WoW controls. You will constantly have to rotate the camera as you move or you'll be staring at a wall, a tree, etc. Clipping. So much clipping. The furniture placement controls are odd and unintuitive. Inventory for furniture is a little strange, too. Trying to use the gradient color for character furniture customization is difficult. The game clearly wants you to go to sleep at some point, but doesn't have any penalty for not doing so other than that quests that need to be completed the next day don't update or trigger. That's minor, I realized quickly I have to force my character to sleep, but I'd say it's not intuitive. It can be difficult to tell how to best optimize your funds as you do not have to be at the cafe to make a profit. That's also minor. I may keep trying to play this because I like the animals, I like quests, I like having tasks to do that don't necessarily involve conflict or battle. If you can get over the controls and clipping, the rest should be easy to adjust to.
