Pros: -Cozy and accessible -Lots of fun minigames -Very cute pixel art design -Lovely premise Cons: -It feels unfinished, amateurish, and a bit rushed. -Every patch update seems to be just a mountain of bug fixes, instead of actual content. -The game has been out for three years and it looks like the only game content added is additional storylines. - A lot of stuff in the game plateaus super quickly, it feels like they intended to add more and forgot, especially in leveling up the dog. - Normally sprucing up the town and individual businesses is exciting and fun, but in this case it's...really underwhelming. The color palette doesnt help either, it makes everything look really run down and tired. - I got top score on the arcade games on the first try. It was kind of a bummer to not have anything to work towards in there anymore. - My biggest pet peeve: What is the point of the food? Why does 90% of the food do like...a tiny sliver of SP, and then Root Beer does a lot? There doesn't seem to be any incentive in learning how to cook. I can't even sell the ingredients. I can't use them in potions. But cooking them seems pointless and clutters my inventory more, when I can just go buy Root Beer. All in all, it was an okay game, but it felt like they gave up on it.

Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I usually only review games once I’ve finished them, but this one is a special case.¹ I love this game. It’s the kind of experience where I can just turn off my brain and relax. The graphics are adorable, the soundtrack is charming, and the dialogue? Just as delightful. It’s a simple yet engaging game, packed with minigames. There’s no in-game calendar, so you never have to rush. Events are triggered only when you’re ready (based on friendships), and best of all— they’re not missable .² You can spend the entire day foraging in the woods, shamelessly stalking your love interest, or just wandering around town eavesdropping on villagers. (Highly recommended—the gossip is hilarious and adds so much to the lore!) I’m enjoying every second of it. 𖹭 ¹ Played it at launch, but only got close to endgame. ² Unless you literally never walk through a certain area.

Having played quite a bit of the game, I can say one thing for certain - the artists and animators behind this game deserve raises, and the people behind the controls, functionality, and story need a new calling. I wish steam had neutral reviews, that is what it'd get. For a game that has been out since 2022, it's wild to have so many glaring and front facing control issues and bugs. It is January 5th, 2025, and this game does not save your key bindings! So you have to set them up again and again every time you open and close the game. The dog will go look for whichever NPC your w and s keys landed on rather than what you actually clicked on - but still keep the portrait for the one you clicked on. If you have two missions that want the same item and you get the correct amount for only one and turn in only one quest, it will still show you as having the correct amount for the other even if you are now at less than the required amount. You cannot scroll the map or move it without wasd but wasd jolts you around from point to point making the process jarring and irritating to use. These are just a few examples, this game is not user friendly or satisfying to control in any sense of the word. I echo the sentiments of others in that the story and characters are so one dimensional. I actually DON'T think it could be influenced by AI in any way not only because it was a little too early, but because ChatGPT would write better. Its attempts at conversations around mental health are pitiful at worst, ignorant at best. Not only that, but there are odd moments of going "huh?" at decisions in character stories. For one, a mother attempts to use potions to manipulate one child's weight and the other child's (underaged, underdeveloped) height and bone structure without those children being involved?? And your character AGREES?? I'm sorry, if my mother drugs me to make me thicker, she's going off a cliff. There's actually a significant lack of focus on the potion and medical caretaking aspect of the game, despite that being the entire point. I will go many days without anyone entering my clinic at all. Part time jobs are a good early income source but become repetitive and the rewards don't increase the more you play, nor do the minigames grow in difficulty or substance. The research "minigame" is not a game, it's cycling clicks until they all match the outcome desired. Potion crafting is fine, it's rudimentary but not offensive in any way. Character and home customization - this is where I say to PAY YOUR ARTISTS AND ANIMATORS MORE. Frankly this game would be one of the worst rated games of any farming sim rpg if it did not have its graphics and art and animations to carry it. How can you have people this talented and not have them make outfits and hairs to unlock past the base options for more options? I don't get it. And the home decoration was just so painful to use in a UI and control sense that I just wish it wasn't even there. And to spend the resources on a lackluster amount of furniture options when you need to grind money and material for quests? I mean, who can afford that in this economy (psst this game works in CE.) You may be wondering why this review is positive since I had nothing positive to say about many aspects of the game... Idk anymore.

3/5 Stars Romance lite, friendship and story focused, a little bit of grind, fun potion mechanic. Overall, a good game. I found it to be fun and cozy, just wishing there was more to it. Liked: *Friendship events, the events around town and regarding each character story makes the town feel more alive! Love this feature. *Only 3 friendship bars before max *Moonclove as a standard gift for everyone. Takes away stress of tracking loved items and keeps me from having to give up valuable materials as gifts. *Potion mechanic was interesting and well done! Like that I could set my own recipes after crafting a few times. *Sign post teleportation was really convenient! Want to see in the future: *More clothing options *Marriage option *Unique relationship dialogue and interactions (hug, kiss, hand hold, etc.) *Seasons with seasonal foraging items and fish *Seasonal events or festivals to participate in *Townsfolk/PC Birthdays *A mount or a way to move faster

A genuinely very sweet little farming game. I enjoyed the characters and the premise a lot, the potion making is fun. The things I loved most up first: - I am a huge fan of making potions to cure the villagers of this small town - The overarching story is super sweet, repairing the town, solving a big miscommunication and some pollution issues - The environment is really well designed and the themes and plants of each region are very beautiful and creative - The game doesn't put any apparent restrictions on who you can date in terms of gender or how many people you can date, that's a personal plus for me - The dog companion you get is the cutest thing and a very good boy Of course there are some things of note when picking up this game that I would advise to be mindful of, since it bothered me: - There are some bugs regarding cooking recipes I've already collected not showing up in the menu and still showing me an array of ???, specifically the seafood platter, i believe. - In the game there is a mechanic where when you gather enough herbs of a certain type, you get the seeds for it to grow at home. You get the little cutscene for every herb in the game, but you can only actually plant the seeds from the first area, the meadows. I don't know if that is an issue with only my game or if it is going to be an update in the future, but I found it a little sad, especially since the game handled it as if i could use the seeds. - The appearance of the mushrooms in the environment don't match the actual item sprite as well as I'd like, especially cause almost all other sprites are pretty accurate. (I am realizing that this point might be a little nitpicky though) - Once you max out your fishing skill there isn't really a cutscene or story beat commemorating that, the same happens when you max out friendship with all villagers. I think it would be nice to have the game acknowledge that, currently it feels like an endeavor that isn't rewarded, which again, a shame. But the things i didn't like are comparatively minor things. The game played really well both with a keyboard and my controller and I definitely recommend playing it.
