I wouldn't mind paying an extra $5 for new illustrations.

Hopefully it does well enough so they can add voice acting as a dlc.

this is what I want my retirement looks like.

I Have Read the Light Novel of this game and it was Awesome! There's even an Anime! I'm going to play this game First because this is based on the Light Novel and because I don't know if they will follow the Light Novel or change it on the Anime.

So I recommend reading the Light Novel, play the game then watch the Anime.

Or you can watch the Anime first and if you are done watching the whole series and not satisfied with it then go play this game. It is really Fun!

Here's my Gameplay to show you a little bit of the content of the game.

Although this game is currently in Early Assess with "weak point".
But developers can actively listen to player's opinions, feedback, and make improvements for this game.
Hope developers will not forget their original intention in future update.

There are a lot of elements of the game that are implemented in the most rudimental way (farming, fishing). Many others are given false depth by requiring grinding and a whole bunch of idle time waiting just for time to pass, be it waiting for customers to finish wandering around the store, or waiting for plants to respawn.
What's worse, those don't feel like a placeholders, so as much as I want to believe that it's only early access and it will improve in the future, it looks unlikely.
This is one of a few games that try to scratch the same itch that Recettear did, and so I'm very dissapointed that it does not really manage to do so =( There's much more annoyance than pleasure in playing this, and the levels of soulless grind only raise as you progress through the game.

Team abandoned the game after full release. No support whatsoever, not even from the community.

I've tried to enjoy this game, I really have, but I can't. The premise is cute enough, but that's where it stops. It's incredibly grindy, the equipment breaks VERY often, there is no QOL, everything feels half finished at best. It's like it wants so badly to be Recettear, but it just fails at every turn, by a margin that imo is not acceptable at this price point. Just get Recettear, Potion Permit, Stardew, Moonlighter or something like that, because this game is not worth the money.

This is something like a cross between Recettear and Harvest Moon/Stardew/etc. The characters are based on an anime & light novel called Banished from the Hero's Party, I Decided to Live a Quiet Life in the Countryside so you don't get to customize very much, though it means that there's more of a story to the game. And that's kind of what you really play for: to see the cute, romantic story playing out as you help the townsfolk.

Good:
- There's an interesting skill system that lets you rebuild whenever and gain skill points by helping the town or growing closer to your girls.
- There's a Stardew-like bundle system for improving relationships with the townsfolk, they also have meaningful quests for you.
- The story is a strong point for anyone who liked the anime or LN.
- Combat is decent and challenging.
- It's chill and there's no pressure. There's no death penalty and no urgent tasks, you can do what you want when you want, so it lives up to the "slow living" premise. Time passes, but it has no real meaning.

Bad:
- Only named characters have any personality and everyone is kind of a cardboard cutout that stands in the same place all the time never really living outside of cutscenes.
- There appear to be no seasons, just a day/night cycle and some rain.
- The game is fairly grindey for materials you need for crafting.
- It could use a lot of minor QoL polishing (e.g. stack items in chests)
- Some minor bits have bad translation.

That said, there's an actual, fun game here and an interesting story. It may be EA, but that makes me hope to see it improve and it's already at a state where playing it is enjoyable. It delivers on the promise of a chill Harvest Moon-like game with an enjoyable story, interesting characters, and quiet lifestyle.

I had very hard time deciding to buy this or not.
But i can say i am not dissapointed. Even though i didnt think this show would be a great game.
But IT IS great and the game is super addictive. I can't wait to get my first ending, and see all the other endings aswell!

The game needs of course some polishing. But i am very excited to see the finished product. Big thumbs up from me.

Huge fan of the manga and now the anime. Very fun RPG that is reminiscent of Harvest Moon or Stardew Valley. You gather herbs and other resources as well as fight monsters in dungeons in order to obtain supplies for crafting and potion making which you will need to sell in the character's personal store.

For an early access game, there is a LOT of content. Took me 27 Hours to complete all available main quests and side quests. Was also able to complete a majority of the wishlists for the other characters with the exception of some items which are too rare to obtain. Also only missing 1 achievement, but I did not want to grind a few more hours when I essentially finished all the available storyline quests.

Pros/Things I enjoyed
- Lots of crafting materials and items
- Story is similar to the source material with some exceptions
- There are skills which you can level up that can either help you in combat, gathering supplies, crafting, or selling in your store
- Grinding type of RPG where you need to collect various resources. There are rarer drops and not all monsters are guaranteed to drop their item, so you would need to make various trips
- The clock system is pretty neat but is somewhat limiting. When you clear an area, you would have to wait some day cycles before the resources and monsters spawn
- There is some strategy that you need in this game, certain skills need priority to be levelled up and there are several upgrades to the house which you also need to prioritize.
- Inventory management is crucial, although it limits your gameplay, I found it to be enjoyable since you need to strategize

Cons/Things I did not like
- there needs to be a dedicated map button/hotkey in the main interface. It is too cumbersome to open the menu first before being able to open the map
- certain drops are way too rare. Its even worse that you have to wait 2-3 days before monsters respawn in their area
- too many empty rooms in dungeons. There's several times when I go through 3-4 straight rooms without any resources or enemies
- no voice acting, would be tons better if there was voice acting
- too little illustrations and CGs. I think there was only 2 available CGs?


Overall, I really enjoyed this game so far. I'm hoping the rest of the content is released soon as the current quests only covered a small amount of the source material. Lots of restricted areas as well that is sure to be released in the upcoming updates.

Tips for newer players: I suggest joining the official discord that is posted on the Steam discussion boards. There is a lot of content that may be confusing and currently there is no wiki or guides available. However there is a lot of discussion in the Steam boards as well as the discord.
