I'll be super transparent: I love this game so much in theory and in a lot of practices, but I don't love playing it on my Steamdeck specifically. Pros: - one of the most "alive" worlds I've found in a farming sim game. I love that you can go from your farm to the nearby village, then off to the university research center, then into the caves, and then go check out the big city. People are milling about, there's different transportation systems available (bike to scooter to car to truck) that all have their perks and make this getting around easier. - getting to just hang out with characters. I love that you can just be like "hey wanna meet up at the coffee shop?" and get coffee with a character (this is also a sneaky way to fast-travel, hehe). - a cast of characters that I'm really interested in and feel very modern without leaning too hard into stereotypes. There's not a "sleepy but loveable" character, a "ditzy with colorful hair" character, nor a "large-bosomed woman who for some reason stands with her knees together and her feet askew" character, for example. They feel like humans! - SANDBOX MODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! have you ever been like "yeah I like the relationship-growing, farming, and exploration but why do I always have to move to the countryside broke as hell"? If so, the sandbox mode is for you! I started out rich as heck and with blueprints unlocked, so I could just focus on having a cute little house and getting to know the town and not stress turning a profit. I got the truck basically as soon as I could gather all the resources, and then it was smoooooth cruising. - no kids! Honestly, I kind of love that there's not the whole "get married and have babies" end game. It's nice knowing that I'm not going to be missing out on late/end game content if I don't welcome a child into my game that will for some mysterious reason never age past a toddler. The devs have spoken about this in a previous devlog, and I really appreciated their take. The cons: - even on the lowest of the lowest of visual settings, this game does not run super well on the Steamdeck. Granted, it's not trying to necessarily - it's not verified. But I like to play games like this cozy, on my couch, with my Steamdeck... and since that doesn't work very well, I don't play it very often. My poor Steamdeck basically runs with fans BLASTING and even then it's slow/laggy/choppy during some gameplay. - the farm management system can get very complex (for me) when you start to add in fences, irrigation, etc. I think this could be a big big plus for many players, but I kind of prefer the "stick sprinkler down and don't think about where it pulls water from" sort of management. Having to manage electricity generation, water collection, and then utilization of both just felt like a bit much, especially when trying to set everything up with controllers. Overall, I absolutely DO recommend this game, but if you're primarily playing on a Steamdeck, it wouldn't be the first game I'd jump to recommend in this space.

This game has so much to offer. It certainly has its bugs and issues, but if you're willing to look past that and wait for the dev team to update with fixes, it really is worth it. There's so much to unlock and do. The art and music are fantastic. The dev team loves this game and I hope they can continue loving it.

After being stuck in a bit of a gaming runt, this has pulled me out nicely! very cosy but enough storyline to keep it interesting! only frustration is that it does that thing where you have to go to sleep to save :(

While the game does have a few issues, a glitch or a bug here or there, it is overall great. It has everything I look for in this type of game (farming, dating/socializing, battling, fishing, etc), except for marriage. You CAN date people though. From what I read, they focused on giving us more date locations and activities than marriage and figuring out how to include after marriage things. The game does have a demo. If you are hesitant about the game any little bit, I recommend playing the demo! It will allow you to see if the game is a good fit for you. Don't be discouraged by the fast energy drain on the first day! Eating is important in the game and energy isn't as bad as you first might think. If I had given into that, I wouldn't be playing this amazing game now. The demo save does transfer if you buy the full game! So you don't have to lose progress. One thing I am looking forward to is having multiple pets. There is even an achievement for rescuing 50 pets! No game of this type before has allowed me to do that. Usually you're only able to have two pets at most, which is funny considering in these type of games we have a whole farm for animals to run around on. The fighting isn't as bad as I have read. I thought I was going to hate it, but so far I can handle it. It does have a learning curve, but as long as you can learn it, it isn't horrible. Typically, I hate turn based fighting to the point I avoid games with it, but this one isn't bad so far. Focusing on what each thing does will help, such as if it is single target or multi target. It'll also tell you if the thing is weak, will resist, or neither to the element you're trying to use. The biggest draw back I have found personally is the wiki. It is still in progress and they are working on it, but it does make some aspects harder. If I don't understand something and the in game description isn't helpful, I usually try to look it up before I commit to it so I don't waste time, but that's been hard to do with the state of the wiki. I do recommend joining the discord. They have FAQ, you can report bugs/glitches, and can always ask someone in chat about something. IF YOU FIND YOURSELF FALLING THROUGH THE MAP, DON'T FORGET THEIR RETURN TO LAST SLEEPING PLACE ON THE PAUSE MENU. It is a life saver. The last thing I'll leave with is the price. I think it is reasonably priced. I have spent 20 hours in the game so far (more if you count the demo) and I'm not out of the spring season yet. I did increase my days to 36 minutes. The days start out at 18, but I doubled the length so I had more time in a day to do something. It's enough to feel accomplished without being rushed, but also not too long since you have to go to sleep to save your game. Once I hit 30 hours, which I'm sure I'll do before the summer season ends, I'll have paid a $1 an hour for entertainment.

All the negative reviews are valid since the game isn’t well-programmed and still lacks polish. To be completely honest, it should be marked as "Early Access." The developers are actively working on the game and seem really lovely, so I still recommend it for many reasons. As long as you can accept the "work in progress" status, this game promises to be unique and fun. It feels like a Persona game meets a farming sim, and I love everything about that. The characters seem interesting. I haven't played for long yet, but I've fallen in love with it and choose to believe in the future of this game. As soon as I feel this game is ready for me to dive in and grind, I'll be back to update my review.
