On value it sits in the top 4 percent of its genre. It is cheaper than 74 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Reigns ($2.99, scores 76) beats it on value, while it beats Choice of Life: Middle Ages ($1.39, scores 69).

Initially i bought only due to the title and thought it's just parody game. But it's better than i expected and i have some fun. I would recommend this game if you've played other game made by Gustav or just want short comedy/parody game which involve potato. The good: + Lots of potato recipes. + Survival story with some ambiguous aspect. I'm not sure whether shown event on certain task indicate the the game is set...

cute and short game. Grow and cook potatoes, save some potatoes for your neighbour, learn to socialize again and live a good and honest life
