My experience and suggestions

[CrazyDiamond]

The game has a lot of features that excite me, but the execution wasn't as exciting.

I love all games in which you rent eat work socialize etc...this one combines all aspects which I love. But let me list the things that really annoyed me and stopped me from carrying on:

1- The tutorial!

The tutorial is long and non visual. I'd like it to be summarized and you can point arrows where we have to click/what to do/where to go on map etc...
It also goes on about irrelevant things. I just rented an apartment and I'm poor, why do I need to learn about the crafting table now when I can't even afford it yet? It's always good to avoid excess information, because they do confuse the player and they are forgettable if you list them like that without being needed at the moment.

You can take it one step at a time and shorten the reading time, make it simpler.


2- Florist Job

Either the florist job is still bugged or I didn't get it.
I applied and got the job, it told me to water some flowers somewhere and started counting. I didn't see any option anywhere to water flowers inside the shop itself. I tried to go behind the counter to water those, I click E I start a conversation with the owner.

I tried to leave the shop and look around for some sort of garden, thought maybe there's a flower stock somewhere I needed to look after hahahaa

3- Trash?

I collect it, I don't know what to do with it? I can't seem to be able to throw it in a trashcan on the streets. Here for instance, once I pick it up, I'd like to a piece of tutorial what to do with it. I think something appeared and I clicked my mouse too fast, it disappeared.

4- Item descriptions

When we hover over anything in our inventory/shops would be nice to have a description, even silly ones would be great fun.

5- Storage

I didn't see any other place to store things in my apartment apart from the fridge. I'd like to store "an empty cup" in the cupboard for instance. Or just place it on the counter.

6- Transportation

I don't know if it's there yet, but owning a bike would be cool!

7- Inventory

I feel like it's too small? I'd like to have shortcuts on the screen but also a backpack (not sure if it's a feature there that you buy) if it's not a feature yet, would be great to add it.
Also let us keybind the numbers to the items in the quick inventory.


Thank you!

Thank you! :simplepinkheart: :nicekitty:

Hello Banana Girl,

thank you very much for taking conversation from the review section, here.
I will try to cover your points as you refered to them. :)

1- The tutorial
The initial steps of locations from the Tutorial are depicted on the map. For instance, let's say you start the game, the Tutorial Welcomes you. You hit the green button "Confrim" in the Right Bottom of the Tutorial. Then the Tutorial helps you with a new page, called navigations.
You hit confirm again and you get "Step one" of the Tutorial that includes a blue Show on Map button in the middle of the Tutorial window and if you hit that the map opens up and tries to navigate you towards the first, essential thing.

But I see what you are saying, arrows and completion achievements of EACH step would probably be more informative and provide a better learning experience.

And I absolutely agree with you on the subject of excess information like the example you gave with being poor at the beginning and not being able to afford the Crafting table, it's unnecessary.
So this information will be passed on and we will most likely re-do the Tutorial steps.

2- Florist Job
Try pressing the letter H. That should open a Help menu and that should tell you that you need to water the flowers around the City, not in the store itself.
Hint: First flowers to water are located in the Forrest passage. ;)

3- Trash
The Trash that you collected like (Water bottle, Plastic bag and similar) you can "exchange" for money in the shop called Trash4Cash.
It is located here:
https://ibb.co/b64TnHw

If a Tutorial window or a Help window disappears too fast, you can always re-open them.
You re-open the Tutorial by clicking the icon in the middle of your screen, right side.
Or if you need to re-open the Help window just click the letter H on your Keyboard and that should bring it up.

4- Item descriptions
Agree with you on that point, will pass this on to the Dev's. :)

5- Storage
That is true. Currently when you are in your apartment the only location where to store something, beside your inventory or the backpack is the Refrigerator but with a future Update we intend to also activate the Chests (same ones that you can Craft).
So that would be then an additional Storage place, but right now, until we get the Update out, it's only the Refrigerator for storages, inventory and the backpack, unfortunately.

6- Transportation
Lol, that's actually a very good idea. :D
We were thinking about Busses and stuff, but a Bike would actually fit much more into the entire concept of the game. So we will definitely consider that for a future Update, so I am passing this on to the Dev's as well.

7- Inventory
The inventory on your screen is just partial. We did not want to make it infinite as when you go shopping you also cannot carry an infinitive amount of items. That is why we decided to have just 6 inventory slots on the Screen...
BUT
You can "extend" your inventory by purchasing a Backpack and that gives you a lot of addition storage any you are able to carry the Backpack around wtih you.
The Hardware Store where you can buy the Backpack is called Nail It and is located here:
https://ibb.co/whN8jL5

On Tuesday we will most likely host another Livestream and we will playtrought the issues and scenarios you pointed out also, so tune in on Tuesday. :)

Thank you so much for the time you took writing this feedback, it is awesome and helps us a lot!!

Please browse the Credits section of the Game [Main Menu - Credits] after the next Update that we make!

Best regards.
