it's what i wanted from stardew

How is something this well-made and polished free?

i think i could cook the egg on everest
maybe if i had a lid to go over the pan so the steam would keep the egg warm
...
but i think that would be cheating

i love playing bagpipes

i swear when i think the game is over it throws more at me in a way i didn't think possible. please buy this game if you like a good puzzle, like a good good puzzle that leaves you smiling like a big dumb idiot because you had to plug in a printer into your computer or do way too much binary (not that i'm complaining).
21 hours in and i have the moth wings, and yet i feel like i'm barely scratching the surface of the game.

once this comes to mobile you'll never see me again

Yeah, just play this one blind

Rock And Stone!

Play this game. Don't read anything about it. The less you know the better. The rest of this review is just my emotional experience and contains zero spoilers.

I feel like I've barely scratched the surface on truly understanding the story and exploring every little plot beat. And yet, this game is easily one of my favorite games of all time. The last hour of the game had me feeling every emotion, ranging from awe to having-a-lump-in-my-throat sadness. This game is only made better by its' absolutely amazing soundtrack which was a big part in feeling every emotion. I'm the kind of person to turn down the music in order to hear SFX a little better, but I never did that in this game. The music is too good.

This same soundtrack is what pushed me from lump-in-my-throat to tearing up. I was frozen at the credits screen, just letting tears roll down my face. And honestly? I don't think I can literally describe the reason I was crying, not that it's a spoiler but because I genuinely just don't know why. The whole ending just connected with me on a really deep level.

I wish I could play this for the first time again. I wish I could wipe my memory and just do it all over again. I wish I could experience the last hour again. This is the most raw case of 'you can only play this once' you will ever find in a game. It feels like every review says this, but now I truly understand. Play this game. It's worth every single minute of your time.
