I spent the past couple years camping every weekend at different parks across the country so during the winter months, this is exactly what I need. But ... You need to slow down the clock. It's forcing us to run everywhere to get the jobs done in time. I want to see cars on the road and I want to be able to stop speeders and ticket them. The trash just appears. One of those visitors put it there. I'd like to be able to see litter happen and cite them for it. In turn, if you wanted to go deeper, we could add cans where litter happens a lot and bring down the amount of litter that happens once these NPCs realize they'll get a ticket for it. Why won't that bear attack me? I've given it so many chances. Also, the bear should probably swat before it stands up. We have to be able to step or climb over things. The whole the ranger can't climb thing looks dumb. Bear proof trash cans. It doesn't make sense to have regular.No national parks do that. At least, I dont think they do. Indiana does. But Indiana is filthy and they dont have bears. There's gonna need to be some fine tuning to make this a four to five star game for me. Three stars in its current state.

I am really enjoying this game. It is very relaxing and fun. I do agree with other reviews that say we need more transportation. Most of the game is on foot. It seems like this would be a non issue for me if we could slow down time. The days seem to move too fast. Speaking of time, we need a way to pause it. The beauty of single player games is being able to pause them while we refill our coffee or take a phone call. The menu button does not stop the time from moving. You have to save and exit to the main menu in order to take a short break. I feel like if we had more control of the time, we wouldn't be as worried about trekking it on foot. Overall, things I do enjoy are fixing the trails, photography of animals and plants, and being able to harass the visitors for permit access or giving the instructions when I am feeling more helpful than hurtful :) Also, can we get a mirror in the bathroom at the ranger huts? Even if non functional, just throw something up there so it pieces the bathroom together. Right there above the sink, where you can tell someone thought about it, but didn't quite commit. And with the amount of time before at the end of the shift, it would be nice if we could do more in the huts like play some darts or something. Feels like a lot of wasted evening time after a days work. Wonderful job on this game overall, and am looking forward to wasting many hours running around in this beautiful place.

I am really loving the coziness of this game. I played through the demo first, and I purchased it immediately today when it launched into early access. The game runs well on the Steam deck oled, I have low settings on graphics and it only occasionally has a stutter which is slightly expected for an "unsupported" title but it definitely works and all the button mapping is perfect. I love the whole concept so far, the running around and fixing things and having a ton of quests to do that pop up. Just such a chill and inviting beautiful game. I am so excited to see where the devs take this game in the future since it is just in early access. Great job team :)

Game is super enjoyable, if you like cleaning up after guests and repairing things you'll enjoy it. My only complaint is the map is so massive and you can't fast travel anywhere. You have to mostly run on foot but the quests will send you all over the map. You do have a vehicle, but you can only access the road with the vehicle not any of the trails. Real rangers at least have an ATV or something to be able to access those far trails. It would be beneficial to have a halfway point fast travel spot or a means to get to areas easier like an ATV or even a bike. Also you will get visitors who ask for information but there's no way to see which visitor it is unless you go up to each person and check if they have questions. Adding a question mark or something above the NPC's head would be easier to identify who needs help. I also haven't been having any crashes or bugs that other players are experiencing. EDIT TO ADD: There apparently is fast traveling between ranger camps in the game so that is something but still lots of distance in between.
