What players say
First and foremost, I must begin this review with the most important point. This game is not a farming sim in the style of Stardew Valley, but a casual adventure game in which the primary focus is on storytelling, whilst farming in the broadest sense takes a back seat. Game has a fairly simple but engaging story overall, a cast of NPCs who serve as quest givers but also have their own stories to tell, some combat...

This is a very simple short game, rn im at around 12 hours and im basically finished even though I have been goofing around and not actually being productive, im already at the finished line and just missing three achivements. This is not to say its bad, this game knows what it is and doesn't inflate its playtime by adding a bunch of random stuff. peak
I Love this game, I like the twist it adds to the genre, and is overall a great game, with great spritework.
