Game's fun if you know what you're doing (aka sell stuff to people in person and farm exp even before building a proper shop), pretty bare bones and it doesn't really have a reason to "exist" if that makes sense, one day you'll just be satisfied/content/bored of the progress you've made and you'll stop playing it, there isn't an objective at all. I wouldn't recommend it normally but the price is THAT low where I'll...
AGORecommendedafter 13hJul 2026Read on Steam
I was really enjoying this game, until while opening my save I noticed that my levels got reset and were back on level 1, but my money, items and furniture were the same as before. Won't even try to play it again, since I would get mad to have the same issue twice
