Cute animals, charming villagers, and the power of friendship -- pretty much the essence of the farm sim boiled down into its core appeal. And while it's nothing complex, it works really well.

The brightly colored models and environment give the game a cheery quality that's honestly really nice in a genre that has taken a weird turn toward minmaxing and grimdark. This is a game that sits squarely in the cozy side of the genre, and sometimes, man, you just need something about cute bunnies and flowers and people being nice to each other.

The gameplay is simplified but clean and clever, and I found that it really did pick out the elements of the genre that are the most key to making the games fun.

I encountered no bugs and found the game to be very complete, so that's worth taking into account as well.

It's not going to win any awards for depth of writing, but sometimes you just need a game to play on the couch with the TV on after a long workday, and this is A++ on that front. And I don't think it's trying to be anything else.

Also I really want that watermelon patterened fabric IRL??

First off I want to say that this game if very cute, the art style is so charming, the music and sound effects are great too! I also really like the story of the game, the reason why you are there and the goal of the game as well is very sweet and honestly original.

However I don't love that you do not get to create your own character, or even just name yourself. I feel that being given a female, already named character makes it more difficult for players to feel connected to the game.

I also feel that the gameplay is simple, but extremely slow. And there is no tutorial which makes it a bit harder to get into the groove of playing. The quests are also very far and few between and I've only been playing for a bit and I already got three repeat quests, which was a little disappointing.

Getting to know the villagers is also a little disappointing, there is now way to figure out what they like as gifts other than trial and error, and their hearts go up very very very slowly which makes the idea of trying to get them to full hearts to romance seem like a huge undertaking,

Overall I think this game is very cute, but simple to a fault.
