Although the game resources has no place to spend, it's a cute game. It has Turkish dubbing and subtitles option. Enjoy the short trip.

This is more of a "proof of concept" rather than an actual game. Every mechanic works fine, the game looks good, there seems to be a lot of things to do... However, every single mechanic is pointless. Farming and fishing only gives you items to restore energy, and gathering meat is way faster and easier. And even that is not nesessary! I had zero issues with it since quite early into the game. Potions are barely...
