The value story
February 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $4.99. Its cuts run 40 percent off as a rule. There have been 24 in the 4 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today's $4.99 at 50 percent off matches the lowest price in the record.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 1 percent on value. It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 99 percent. The nearest things to it, Furnish Master ($9.74, scores 44) and Luna's Fishing Garden ($7.99, scores 75), are both worse buys on this math.
On this data it would still be a BANGER at $27.46. It costs $4.99.
Of the 364 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 2 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 86 percent of the 181 reviews written there were positive, against 98 percent overall, and those are 7 percent of everything written about it.

This game would be about 15 hours shorter if the mechanic for the 'banishment' wooden table was just inherent to the games base mechanics, IE every item shows up at least one time before showing up as a copy. I cannot think of a reason the game shouldn't have a system like this inherent to it. Ultimately I would not recommend spending 20 hours attempting to collect every single category that exists in it, no.
好玩上头但不耐玩，抽卡机制特别头疼，想要全收集必须通过游戏道具ban掉所有出过的物品，不然要等到猴年马月。印象中好像demo的爆率更合适一点。早期会出现地块不够用东西放不下的情况。挪动地块也不太方便，不能多选只能一块一块挪。有焦虑倾向别玩。 Nice graphics and can be addictive at first, but the gameplay mechanics isn't for me. The "gacha" mechanics makes full collections frustrating; you have to use an in-game item to "ban" all items you had got before to achieve full collection. I remembered the demo to be less "chaotic". In early...
This is my favorite cozy/idler game. It's so cute and pretty! Sometimes, I just like to sit back and watch the little animated creatures in the environment I created. I love that I can be as idle or as active as I want. Love the items that add chaos and whimsy. Love how I can get the exact items I want after I have everything (or nearly everything) unlocked. I'm losing sleep and forgetting to eat. I LOVE THIS...
