Stardew Valley side-sequel with an emphasis on taming wild animals. Patently charming and biggish. Not any more complicated than that.

Super fun!!! I'm a farming sim super fan so I have played most of the more well known farming sims out there, but this game has such a unique charm. Taming animals + gathering seeds in the beginning makes exploring the maps super fun and engaging (but the maps are kind of small...until you reach late game and get to the new updated content). The game loop is also surprisingly addicting, you end everyday feeling like you just need one more day to finish something, but it never feels grindy.
My favourite aspect is that the entire clan contributes, which is how it should have been done. If you ever feel tired and confused why a silly lil farmer/builder/whatever profession the player has is fixing up everything in the entire community, you wouldn't feel like that in this pachan clan. Also, the clan members recognises how much you have contributed. Additionally, as you progress with a character's story, they may make changes to their routine accordingly. Other characters also make notices of these changes in their dialogues. The characters are overall so well done, you feel like your action really matters, and this world feels super real.
I also love how there is no grid restriction for deco placement, and you can paint on so many of the decos! NPCs are also interestingly so smart that they avoid fences etc. so you wouldn't have to worry about them breaking stuff.

There are only very few minor points that I do not like (personal preference only, you may see these as plus points): the clans are weird cultural mixes. As stated in the disclaimer, they are of course fictional but you can surmise where the inspo came from, which is kind of weird...but also interesting?...to see how cultures from completely unrelated regions and timelines could come together. Many dishes are also kind of modern. The 1.3 update brings new content that I really liked, but also kind of breaks immersion?? A timetraveler from the future brings domesticated animals and plants?? But then again, we progressed from stone age to bronze age in one year of game time so I can't be too picky about that.

This Game I wasn't sure about at first but after I got a few hours in, I was hooked. The play style is really unique and fun. It's not a Stardew look-alike at all, I love the graphic style, but I really felt like the gameplay was significant;y more involved with great characters and storyline is not bad. I'm busy in the game which keeps me focused and I love that.
