What players say
An exellent game if you want either a peacefull building and exploration game with great visuals or start your children of with a game that allows theses things but isnt to hard or scary. That beeing said, the game is by no means childisch or to easy.
I am really enjoying The Cloud Catcher Chronicles. Quests, Pets, Farms, Resource mining, Hoarding, Oh My! If you like a relaxed, peaceful, go at your own pace, open world style game you should pick this up.
I can't figure anything out without a walktrough, map doesn't tell you what towns are for what guilds and where to go for the machines to get advance materials. I just got frusterated, tried to see it to the end but im over it.
