How long is the game?

[Raskel]

First, really cute and fun game as I can see. But I'm afraid to buy and be short. How long is the game? 30h+, 60h+, 100h+? From what I look in the skill tress and upgrades, I will guess around 30?

Have a great launch!

In the livestream the dev said it was 20-40 hours depending on the person.

Does the game open up? I'm about an hour and a half in and it feels pretty grindy. Like I only make 20 Lemon Cake bucks a day maximizing for tips, and stuff has started costing 60 lemon bucks or more to unlock.

I'm kinda worried most of those hours are gonna be grinding over and over.

I'm still working on balancing the game, I don't want it to be too grindy for sure! It does get easier to make money though, in the mid-late game you can make up to 80-100 gold per day so the last upgrades are easier to get. Might have to fix the early-mid game though cause it seems like it's still a bit too slow!

The game is heavily padded with grind fest for upgrades.
Some of the end game upgrades are useless and doesn't really help at all.
When you unlocked the transport from the greenhouse to the kitchen, you can't stack the same item and you have to use that item before your trees/plants will produce new one. This just slightly reduces the tediousness that was intentionally introduce because you can't carry more than two items at the same time.

The coffee assistant give them coffee right away instead of wait until the bar gets low and give it to them.

The lack of counters (you get one) mean you can only stock one at a time and can't replenish during the day (especially more so once you have 4 tables)
You don't need more than two ovens, and most of the time you will only use one.
Because you don't have enough time for it you have to manually gather everything and do it one by one, and then serve the food.

The customers are limited per day . You get to display your goods and two extras (one on counter, one on the transport). If you put any complex recipes (needing two fruits/long bake time), then your dine in customers will be really limited to how many you are able to serve.

Before you're able to get the autowater, better brush, and magic broom. Just getting there is a long road and truly end-end game. The constant petting/watering/cleaning along with clearing your tables/serving.

It's a cute game graphic and it's fun in the beginning, but the longer you play, the more frustrating it gets. And for the price point, it's not worth it.
A lot of the mechanics are intentional but lack the means to make it fun mid to late game.
Overall, it's very tedious and grindy.
And I have play and love Emily /Diner dash/Cake mania/ect.
