It's a very engaging game to play, with good characters and a lot to do to keep you busy. It's not hard, but a lack of available information is kind of making things harder for me. The WIKI is light on info, like someone gave up on it right after making it. Now I'm stuck because my inventory was full when I completed a collection for Wyatt and I missed getting some things I likely needed to continue onward. I'm giving it a 'recommendation' but all in all it's an older game with what looks like almost no support.

I enjoyed exploring an alien planet, unlocking more colonists and experimenting with the crop gene splicer.

The graphics are vibrant and simple with a fairly unique art direction compared to others in the genre. The character sprites themselves are probably the weakest part visually but I liked them.

I found the gameplay really easy and quickly completed the game (excluding marriage). I loved seeing all the alien life designed and hidden around the map. The fishing mini game was more fun than most, reminded me a little bit of Lost in Blue’s on the DS.

The characters are interesting and worth your time befriending to learn more about them. The main story is pretty short which can be a negative for some. As noted by others it is LGBTQ+ friendly.

If you found SDV and similar games stressful this one is more relaxing.

Whilst it is a Farming Life Sim like SDV, HM, SoS and other game inspired by them it feels less like a copycat than most. Maybe the setting helps as you are colonising an alien planet instead of moving to the countryside to take over a farm?
