not being able to create and customize your own character in a cozy life/farm sim with socializing, romancing, and dating options is one of the biggest sins you can commit with this genre. it's right up there with player death; you'd think you'd just get KO'd and someone saves you and takes you back home to recover (like stardew valley, etc.) but nope, the cozy illusion ends when you die and have to reload -- talk about immersion breaking!

if these fundamental issues are remedied, it's an easy thumbs up otherwise. for those who have yet to buy, i recommend keeping a close watch on this.

I honestly love cozy games from stardew, fae farm and so on. I grew up with Harvest Moon on game boy and these type games have always been a passion for me.... That being said I feel this game was rushed. I was super looking forward to it due to the unique set up. But I couldn't play very long of it because the mechanics felts awkward, and there are so many bugs. I feel if it gets fleshed out more i can recant my statement. But as of now. They should of delayed their release date to work on it more. I know its in early access but there is SOOO much that needs to be worked out. I will try and come back to this game at a later time and see how it does but for right now... I was highly disappointed. I wish the creators luck.

Not my usual game- my wife kickstarted it, and we thought it was supposed to be co-op. It isn't, I don't know- but I played with her regardless just kinda at the same time. It's okay, if you like Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley type games. Me personally, not my usual genre, so take my words with a grain of salt. I will say though, despite the game attempting to make the world feel like it's living- it can feel kinda hollow and humdrum. I don't think it's going to get any better than harvesting crops, finding a partner and discovering some mysteries and adventure, but I found the ladder part to be extremely lacking at this point. I wish them luck as they develop the game.
