I'm just barely recommending this game because it has structural flaws, yet there are so many good things that I can't just dismiss it as a bad game. I'll elaborate. The strong point of Haven lies in the dynamic between its two characters, and in their relatively healthy intimate relationship. There's a bit of a "slice of life" aspect to it, despite the sci-fi setting. If you live alone, this game will make you feel even more alone. I believe the lore suggests that the society they ran away from is quite dystopic in some ways, which contrasts strongly with the very colorful vibe of this world, and the 'Netflix&Chill' atmosphere between the two characters. Most of the game revolves around exploration. There isn't actually that much to explore: you mostly travel from one island to another to clear the "rust", a substance that is necessary to progress through the story. There are also a few items to discover that unlock some additional interactions between the two characters. There are also occasional fights. The combat system, while not particularly deep, is pretty enjoyable and relies to some extent on real-time strategy, but it remains quite simplistic. The music, though, is absolutely incredible. This might not be the most fun game I've played, but I'm still listening to the soundtrack years later. The story isn't particularly elaborate. As I said, it's more focused on the everyday life of the characters, and you end up doing the same things over and over again: discovering islands, taking down a few enemies, picking up consumables, and that's pretty much it. In short, it's pretty, it's relaxing, but unfortunately, it's very repetitive. The trailer really got me excited, but overall, I feel like the game falls a little flat.
Played this game with my ex… I remembered why we broke up… 10/10 experience! I bought Haven many years ago (probably a few months after its release) because it was from the developers of Furi and had a cool premise. I planned to play it in co-op with my ex but we either did not have time or desire to start the game, so eventually it became abandoned in the annals of my Steam library. Recently, I tried to play co-op in the brand new Winx Club game (you can find my review on it in my profile) and being enraged by the lack of Remote Play in it, I suddenly remembered about Haven. After checking that the later did include the Remote Play feature, me and my ex finally started the game after all these years… Graphics . Just like the previous game from The Game Bakers – Furi – Haven uses Unity engine, and just like the previous game it has a distinct visual style of smooth models and low-detail high-contrast textures. Nonetheless, while Furi was a mostly top-down combat-oriented experience with little emphasis on the plot and cutscenes, Haven is much more oriented on the story and atmosphere. While the game does indeed sometimes show you majestic landscapes and the environment generally looks fine, the character models, textures and animations feel very underdeveloped and basic for a game, a large part of which consists of a visual novel dating sim. The 2D avatars that pop up during each dialogue look incredible, yet you still want more detail for the 3D part. Story . Two lovers are stranded on a presumably uninhabited planet trying to escape an authoritarian interplanetary government. While the premise is simple, the story is quite well written and does have its own quirky twists. There are more than enough dialogues and cutscenes made for the visual novel part and we barely encountered any repeating scenes in our 100% 24-hour-long playthrough. You will have a choice in some dialogues (for both characters even if you play in solo), however, they only affect the outcome of the current conversation and change only a minor detail in one of the endings. Despite the amount of text in the game, the voiceover is done very well and you will rarely skip dialogues. Last but not least, in the beginning of the game you can choose between a lesbian, straight, and gay couple which heavily broadens the game’s audience. We played as a straight couple but I did look into the other two on YouTube and unfortunately, some of the dialogues and cutscenes are not properly adjusted for the same-sex couple (for example, you may want to role-play a gay character but a dialogue heavily implies they are bi). Nonetheless, this choice still lets you experience a more personalized version of the story. Music and Atmosphere . The score is written by Danger who also composed a few tracks for Furi. It is a pretty electronic mix of techno, ambient, and synth which fits the game’s vibe and will likely end up in your playlist later. The atmospheric part largely depends on whether you will feel for the protagonists or not; in our case we tried to role-play ourselves and really vibed with the game. On top of that, the character I played turned out to have a few notable common traits with me which additionally enhanced the immersion for me. I also vibed with clearing out the locations; fortunately, the game’s world is not that big for the exploration to become tedious. Gameplay . Haven is 60% visual novel, 25% exploration, 10% combat and 5% light survival and RPG elements. I already discussed the visual novel in the story section, so I will move further. The game lets you explore a dozen of different islets in 4 distinct biomes, though the major is still located in the first one. Among just collecting plants and clearing out “rust” (you will get it if you play the game), you will also find abandoned buildings sometimes with pretty surprising items inside. Unfortunately though, only the ship interiors are detailed; if you enter any a structure, only a dialogue plays without any visuals. The combat is designed for two characters; even if you play solo you will have to control both of them – one with the D-pad and another one with ABXY (for Xbox controller). Each character has a long-range and a close-range attack, a shield and an ability to pacify the defeated enemy (again, you will get it if you play the game). The characters can also combine and charge their attacks. While the mechanics initially seem primitive, the combat is surprisingly well-made. As you progress through the game, there will be more tricky enemies that require special tactics and coordination between the characters. The fighting is immensely fun for that kind of game, especially when you manage to coordinate your moves in co-op. The only notable issue is that there is no way to switch between targets which sometimes jeopardizes your strategy. The survival element consists of having to fill the hunger bar and crafting medications to heal the protagonists. You will also be able to plant your own garden, craft “potions”, and receive a few gear upgrades as you progress through the story. Nonetheless, while the gameplay is generally fun and engaging, the cooperative part is very sloppy which is surprising as the game is clearly targeted at couples. There is no multiplayer, only local co-op and Remote Play via Steam. You cannot choose which character to play (it’s done via a crutch by plugging-unplugging controllers) and both players have to choose the same dialogue option for it to progress instead of choosing separately for their character. Moreover, instead of using split-screen, the game makes camera track both characters at the same, which, considering not the best movement mechanics, usually results in the protagonist being anywhere but at the center of the screen. While I’m a seasoned gamer and it was not a large problem for me, this had constantly irritated my ex. Last but not least, the game explains its mechanics very poorly. I had to google what does the glasses icon mean in the relationship meter, how to use inventory items and set up a camp. On top of that, we only learnt that you could actually charge your attacks just one hour before the final! While this does not really spoil the overall experience, it does make the first few hours quite tedious to go through. Finally, one of the optional bosses makes you wait for 1.5 hours of real time for it to spawn and one of the cutscenes required for an achievement plays randomly, so doing 100% can become quite tiresome. Bonus . Because I played Haven with my ex, I also decided to ask him what complaints he did have about the game and here is his answer. First things first, tutorials – the game either does not explain its mechanics or does it very poorly. This is especially true for the progression: the developers tried to make tutorials diegetic but it turned out to be so diegetic you don’t understand what you have just learnt. Secondly, the first hours are pretty tedious to play through. The game does unravel a lot further but the first impression is not gripping. And most importantly… THEY DON’T LET YOU TRAVEL WITH OINK! Conclusion . Overall, while Haven has a few notable issues like unpolished character models, lack of proper tutorials and messy cooperative mode, the strong points like story and gameplay easily overweigh them. If you are looking for a story-oriented semi-relaxing title to play with your partner or a friend – this is an excellent choice! If you love visual novels and quirky indie games, I would also recommend to look into Haven. However, if you are looking for a more action-packed experience or a full-fledged visual novel with many dialogue choices and multiple endings, I would advise to search for other titles. P.S. Also that phrase in the beginning was a joke… We came up with it while quarrelling in the game and I simply couldn’t help myself from using it as the header.
I bought this during the Autumn sale in 2025 for just €2.49, and it sat chilling in my library for the better part of half a year before I finally got bored enough to give it a go. At first I played slowly, wanting to take my time and explore everything. After just one day of playing, I was completely invested. But that's exactly the problem, I got too invested. I absolutely fell in love with the characters' cute love story and the overall relaxing gameplay. Then, after a good 7 hours of just having the time of my life, it suddenly hit me that this game was going to end, and when it did, I was going to have the largest case of post-game depression of my life. Cut to two days after finishing it, I'm only just starting to compose myself. I feel as if i have cheated. I should never have paid the 90% discounted price; I wish I had paid full price. As a form of atonement, I've since bought the art book as a permanent reminder of what this game has done to me. In conclusion, I cannot recommend this game enough to story lovers and anyone looking for something easy to pick up and play. And please, don't take your first playthrough for granted. In those moments, whether sad or happy, exciting or gut wrenching, just take your time. Explore every little dialogue option and soak it all in. That is the best advice I can give to newcomers.
