This game doesn’t get enough recognition! I have about 130 hours into this game (not done yet). I absolutely recommend it. Here’s my impression.

The Pros: It’s unique with the research and journal storyline. The character pics are great. The cut scenes are just numerous enough. The foraging, farming, and gathering creatures is complex enough to make it interesting. There’s mining & some puzzles too, but no combat. The fishing mini game is easy enough. It’s engrossing. I like that the game has a research center and not the typical museum. There’s even an arsehole npc That amuses me. You can save anytime, but it also saves when you go to bed! And (*insert drumroll*) you can double the length of the day.

The Cons: The pixel characters are really small. If they were only 10% larger it would be easier to tell who is who and the Dev wouldn’t need to change the doorways or buildings. That’s about it for cons. Well, perhaps except for this 1 puzzle and that's it's really hard to gather enough gold for quite a while. I'm looking forward to the full version.

Oh, and speaking of the Dev – they’re responsive and helpful concerning game issues.
