It's a kind of RPG, so it sure repeats but improves over time. Also has substories and any amount of them can be added later so it's a fun game and with a lot of potential. I hope they add workshop later

I've seen at least 5 reviewers saying that even when it seems you already got all the content, more is introduced. One even mentions being 9+ hours in and finding new mechanics that make the game more fun instead of more complicated. I myself am at chapter 1 and I'm having a blast with this.

To be honest, i did play 1 hour and refund, cause core gamplay will still stay the same, and its borring.

This game just keeps giving and giving, the more you play the more you unlock. I thought it would be a lot shorter game, but after 12 hours I'm still unlocking new mechanics, minigames & stuff. The core concept is to catch fish and sell that in your sushi restaurant though.

Edit: 18 hours in, not 12, time flies when you play

Its ok if people refund the game and "think" its boring. Because these DEVS already BANKED a Half a MIL $$$. Now they have $ to work even more on this game, and it is a Ver 1.0 Guys. Asking 18 $ is steep tho imo. But that's just me :slendy:

I have 50+ hours (Steam stats does not accurately reflect my playtime), and I would say it has a LOT to offer, but it might not matter to someone who gets quickly tired of a core gameplay loop that is repeated all the time. New stuff will regularly open for you to supplement the core loop, but if the idea of having to dive / fish + manage restaurant every day doesn't appeal to you then its not the game for you.

However a lot of additional stuff expands on that loop (farming, both of crops and fish; upgrades / grinding; exploration / story stuff; mini-games; boss battles; & decoration, just to name some of the other things that the game introduces later on). To some though it might just feel like additional busywork. No matter what though I would never say you've "seen it all" in 2 hours, or 20. Maybe not even 200 depending on what kind of goals you set for yourself.

i didnt even know you had farming and such, even if simplistic its always something.
more or less just looking for a relaxing game that i can have to kill some time maybe 30 here, 1 hour there.. not have a 20hr sit through like with big games for example diablo 4 and such..
so so far from what everone wrote here it sounds quite good. :) and worth a try.

About 11hours in, its super fun. Grinding is rewarding and never feels like a chore. The story and artwork feel really lovely so far. New mechanics come in a good pace, not to fast not to slow. I buy games every week that bore me out, but this game dos not feel repetitiv. I like it a lot. The Devs put a lot of heart and soul into it, but it is a very unique game, so it maybe not be vor everyone.

TLDR: not at all!

This game in my opinion (played about 20 hours) is fantastic. Granted, it does combine two of my loves: diving and sushi, so maybe that’s why I’m so into it. But if you like games such as terraria then you won’t get tired of this. There seems to always be something new that pops up. I’m only 20 hours in though.

Game has a fair amount of issues, especially pertaining to key bindings, but contentwise it's absolute insane what you get. Some content even is only introduced hours into the game, so I don't think you'll be disappointed.

145+ in, started playing last year. With the full release, there's lots of new stuff, and I know I'll be seeing even more as time passes.

You use them for the upgrade (it also says so when you upgrade (or at least it did early game) so yeah, basically the chef is tryign to make the recipe better by doing it over and over, as in, using the ingredients

Well, put 1 in the menu and add auto-supply if you wanna be boring....or add 6 items with 4 each...then when you see that the numbers are low, add a few to one dish, then when that starts to run out, add some more to another =)

EDIT: Forgot to say, yes you lose the fish and ingredients used to make that dish, Bancho tells you about that in the first cutscene/tutorial, he will never serve a dish that isn't freshly made.
