My honest opinion of the game...

[maru_ru]

First of all, thank you for providing a demo of the game..demo has been a bit of a rarity these days with cozy games especially..most will go for early access where you hv to pay for their unfinished game..i applaud the devs for going a full release route

1. I actually watched the playthrough of this game from Gab's youtube and what really sold me of this game was the mining...the torch mechanism is something i've never seen in these games of the same genre...I love when devs have their own ideas of gameplay rather than copy pasted from the other similar games that came before, not saying they're bad but new ideas are so refreshing...i'm not gonna lie, i'm looking forward to exploring the mines in the full release...also love the whip (don't chnge this pls)

2. I love the fishing mechanism, again..different than the other games and i genuinely enjoyed the way fishing works in this game..please don't change this...

3. I really appreciate how generous this game has been when it comes to resources...for some reason, grinding is something to be expected in these cozy games that i never really agreed with and making some resources so rare that they made the players become too frustrated...so far, this game hasn't come to that yet...i never ran out of resources and it doesn't take me a long time to get the resources i need since they always spawn at the same place...

4. the Lumas (i think that's what they're called) are amazing..i can't wait to unlock different kind of Lumas..<3

5. I know romance is not apart of this game and although i love romance....i can respect the devs' decision and it is not a deal breaker for me...

6. the spider!! i did die the by the spider once i did lose my loots...for some reason, i didn't get mad by it when i usually will and that was because the resources are so generous in this game..i was not worried nor do i feel angry...the spider being un-killable to me is balanced by how easy it is to get resources (i mean so far from the demo)...

The point is, I am a big believer in devs having their games the way they envisioned it to be and it may not be for everyone...i disagree in putting down these devs' vision just because of certain gameplay we don't like...they should have that freedom and if you dislike it and it's a deal breaker for you..that's alright, this game is just not for you and that's ok...i for one am looking forward to the full release...

I agree however with a lot of the others regarding the map..it wll be nice if i can mark on the map certain secret location i may found and need to come back to...but i know the devs are working on it and i hope it will be available in the full release..

All the best devs and looking forward to the game...

You should definitely try archaeology! You go into the temples and clear them tomb raider style, it's great

Hey maru_ru 👋

Thanks for the kind words. 😊

We're really happy to hear that you're enjoying the demo so far.

About romance, you'll befriend the townsfolk as you progress through profession quests and there are quests for other people in town in the full version. Will you be able to make it out of the friend zone in a future update though? That remains to be decided. 😅

And you're right about the maps. We do actually have a different map in a later part of the (full) game but we ran out of time when trying to get the maps for the other areas in. This will be fixed in the full version. Btw, I like your idea to be able to add marks to the map - you're the first to mention this. 😃

I don't disagree with the devs making the game how they want. However, since it seems to be falling into the cozy genre (maybe it shouldn't be?) there are things that don't make sense. Like losing all your items on death. That is a survival game mechanic that most survival game players don't like. You can't even get back what you lost. The spiders you can't kill make no sense either. It's common for rouge-likes (or even enemies in other cozy games) for enemies to be defeated. It's an instinct. Otherwise, what is the point of the spiders. I am glad they are planning on adding a "cozy mode" in the future.

I think the devs need to be more clear on WHY they are making certain decisions. Once I figured out the fishing it was fine. Different. I did think I was scaring off the fish the whole time, but I just chased it till I caught it.

The map can be fixed. My issue was trying to find people I was supposed to talk to. I honestly prefer to learn a map by running around, but quest markers are most helpful or the maps that show where people are. (I couldn't even figure out how to use the map with controller.)

I will go back and try the demo again if my eyes can handle it. That's another weird issue. I can't quite zoom in enough to stop eyestrain, and only zoom out when I want to see where I'm going.

If the game ends up not being for me, I do hope the devs find their audience and I'm sure they will. However, feedback is super important. A lot of it may sound negative, but to me that is the constructive criticism that may just make the game better for a wider audience.

What? Oh no! That will be a no go for me, sadly.

Anyone know the location of all the temples? is there one in each area? Is there one in town?
