The value story

It has never been cheaper than $4.99. That was May 2021. 50 discounts in the 9 years on record. They run about 75 percent off, roughly 7 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 14 percent on value. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 70 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Littlewood ($14.99, scores 88) beats it on value, while it beats Hokko Life ($19.99, scores 16).

Of the 591 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written March 2020 to September 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 46 percent of the 443 reviews written there were positive, against 78 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

The main story runs 30.5 hours. Doing everything runs 90, 2.9 times as long.

What players say

I loved this game. It was fun and had so much potential. But, the dev just decided to call it "done" and abandoned it. Make no mistake, this is not a finished game. Calling it done was just a "get out of early access" ass pull. Very buggy, empty areas, quests that either cannot be started, completed, or just dead end. Mechanics that look like there should be something, but isn't. No stamina, HP, or even a use for...

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! IT CURRENTLY HAS MULTIPLE BROKEN QUESTS AND HAS BEEN ABANDONED BY THE LAZY DEVELOPERS AND YOU WILL HIT A WALL AND NOT BE ABLE TO PROGRESS! ALSO DO NOT BUY OTHER GAMES FROM THEM AS THEY DO NOT FINISH MAKING THEM AND LEAVE THEM IN A BAD STATE. Its a really good game until you have to do a quest where something has a chance of dropping, you'll spend HOURS and get hundreds and hundreds of items...

A charming voxel-based farming sandbox that lets you build up a bustling village and manage crops with a lovely, laid-back vibe. It doesn't reinvent the wheel compared to other block-building sims, but playing with friends smooths over its rough edges and empty spaces. A cozy, low-stress time-sink if you love custom-building your own world.
