The value story
It has never been cheaper than $14.99. That was June 2026. Its cuts run 15 percent off as a rule. There have been 19 in the 2 years tracked, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 4 weeks ago.
On value it sits in the top 10 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 85 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 91 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Little Witch in the Woods ($19.99, scores 62) beats it on value, while it beats Critter Cove ($24.99, scores 53).
Steam's global achievement data puts 27 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. The median game this site can measure sits at 15. Of the 614 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 26 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written September 2024 to August 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 3,162 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 572 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 61 percent of the 332 reviews written there were positive, against 88 percent overall, and those are 13 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
Went into the hospital twice in a row before soft lauching my restaurant... For me this game is far more intriguing than Stardew tho. Art is pretty. Would recommend.
Played this when it originally came out in early access and it lost my attention after a few hours of gameplay. Decided to give it another go after the Tidehaven update- I've had a pretty stressful couple of weeks and needed a cozy game to play. I've absolutely loved it! I'm sad that I've reached endgame, but I'm looking forward to the future updates and release.
Highly recommend this game even though it's early access. It has a ton of gameplay variety and content. Though it still need some balancing and consistencies, it's very enjoyable, but not addicting..yet. Gameplay Options: -Lots of foraging -Tiny bit of farming -Restaurant management -Character quests -Hunting and fishing -Cooking Mama mini games -Very elaborate honey comb style puzzle of unlocking recipes -Minimal...
