More about My Time at Portia

Critics scored it 73. Players sit 18 points higher at 91 percent, which usually means a game that plays better than it reviews.

Steam's global achievement data puts about 10 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 69.2-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 9 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written January 2024 to October 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 59 percent of the 1,648 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.

Finishing takes 69.2 hours; clearing it takes 141, which is 2.0 times the campaign.

What players say

my tips: buy a massage chair from Best Brother furniture store as soon as you can, it will restore your stamina bar in two gametime hours. fish at the waterfall until you have two king goliath fish, put those two fish in a fish display and feed them each 1 bug egg or 3 dough every day (so thats 2 bug egg or 6 dough for two fish), every 8 days they will spawn another king goliath that sells for 5000 Gols. or continue...

Such a nice game. Sure there are some jankiness moments, but the overall vibe is about positivity, community, inclusivity and happiness. There are so many moments in this game where I just thought "Awwww, that is so cute and wholesome." while interacting with the characters. Gaining postive relations with all the characters will not only make you feel more caring, but saddened by some of the very heartfelt moments...

The game has a lot of potential but in my case it crashes and closes all the time and since you can only save the game when you go to sleep, I need to replay the same things all the time. It's very frustrating
