Against its own genre it lands in the top 8 percent on value. It is pricier than 92 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 81 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Littlewood ($14.99, scores 88) beats it on value, while it beats Little Witch in the Woods ($19.99, scores 62).

Inside the two-hour refund window, 53 percent of the 194 reviews written there were positive, against 82 percent overall, and those are 11 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
I love this game. It's very cute and it makes me really happy to play it, I'm so glad I got it. The beginning part where you design your Paleofolk character was super engrossing, I spent a good long while customising my character and enjoyed checking out the various options. I'm looking forward to making new characters in future saves too! I love the unique dino theme this game has to offer, I've not seen anything...
the game is very charming, I personally enjoy it for how calm it makes me after a stressful day. it's kinda like animal crossing but you have a shop you work at. I think people are sleeping on this game when it's really very fun. no bugs, very polished.
I tried to like this game. The first time I saw a playtest on youtube, I was interested in the game immediately. Thought it had potential. Sadly, when I purchased the game, I got incredibly disappointed. The game feels very unfinished, almost like an early alpha. The character customization is really fun, but the actual game aspects are lacking and well...super repetetive. Granted, I wasn't aware it was a shop...
