Love this game! It is charming and challenging :) I really like the co-op campaign's asynchronous mode, wish more games had this feature!

PROS:
* Interesting concept for a story, has potential. I can see what the creators are trying to do.

* The story was engaging enough to make me want to know what the solution to the mystery would be. In short, I wanted to see the ending.

CONS:
* Too much drama too fast. There is no chance to emotionally catch up in this, which made me feel jaded after the initial drama moments. I think the game was supposed to make me feel deeply emotionally affected, which many other reviewers attested to, but it just tired me out and made me very detached instead. I also suspect that many persons that feels like this is a mind blowing masterpiece of a story may be quite young and may not have experienced a lot of personal drama in their lives.

* People in the middle ages, I assume did not say "welp". Moments like that pull me out of immersion.

* I do not think the music was that special, it was quite repetitive at times and I even turned it off when it became too annoying.

* One of the achivements is to replay the game to find a paltry few hundred lines which feels very disrespectful of the player's time.

If I could have voted Neutral, I would have. Now I will vote that I do not Recommend this game to balance the number of positive votes the game has, of which I think it is undeserving. It is an ok game, but not as good as the reviews make it out to be.

Played on a private rented server for a specific Discord community, PVE and everyone is friends. So no griefing, stealing, or a**hattery.
Scratches a certain kind of itch for me. The "just need to do this thing also"-kind of itch. The combat is fun and fairly challenging, but I would have liked more active abilities. Paired with the silly radial menu, I would assume the devs keep it open in case they will port to console at some point. It has been possible to solo most content, but it is definitely much more fun with friends! I love that the clan shares all recipes. The building is fun, and my castle looks pretty nice now actually. Of course more building pieces and decorations, or most of all modding, would be wonderful. The game currently lacks quite many quality of like-aspects, I look forward to getting those. Then the game may go from a very positive experience to an overwhelmingly so, for me.

Very nice little game. I waited half a year to play it after it came out, to get more items in the game before playing it.

Pros:
A lot of fun to put the aquarium together!
My absolute favourite fish (Celestial pearl danio) is in the game!
The game is constantly being updated, with a DLC also to come.
This list is short, but it is really all that's needed for this game to be a positive in my book!

Cons:
I don't like the timed missions, because I think it fits badly with the concept, as I see this as being a relaxing game.
The fish does not school with the same of it's species, rather all fishes swim around freely.
The fish does not appear on the level it naturally would, e.g. bottom living fish will still swim around freely in the mid-/upper levels. This breaks immersion.
In one of the late missions I am referred to as "he". It breaks immersion, since I am in fact, not a he.
Many of the customers are unsympathetic and seem to care more about image than fish. I don't like selling my fish to them.

Suggestions for improvement:
More of everything! More aquarium types, more fish (specially algae eaters), maybe shrimps, more decorations, gravel, facility, lighting options, more missions in the campaign.
Make the campaign more challenging by having you manage a budget at the same time, and maybe create and sell your own ready made aquariums to bring in more money?
Please keep on updating!

Takes itself too seriously.

Super fun and clever! Innovative co-op that calls for communal reading-out-loud, and DIY voice acting!

Nope. Frustrating and samey puzzles. Too much back tracking. Story was too difficult to follow, and a bit all over the place. Nope.

Really pleased with this DLC. Can't wait until I am done with the orders so that I can start buying the places for myself :D

Pros:
* A good amount of hours for the price, and you can buy the apartments/houses after you have finished a job.
* You can purchase the items needed directly from the task menu without having to use the store.
* A lot of new, useful items added, that looks good and brings on inspiration.
* Renovation mini game.
* Fun and quirky characters presented with nice graphics, voiced intros.
* I'm on a boat!
* The choices are more fun than in the HGTV, the inspiration bits are nice!

Cons/Suggestions for improvement:
* Can't seem to combine with the Garden DLC when decorating.
* With so many new items added, the store has grown even more, and it is really clunky to find what you need/sort/look through the menus these days. Better filtering options please, especially since many items now consist of 6+ words which makes searching by typing the name a chore..
* Cannot place furniture on the balconies when renovating.
* Sometimes you are given so many items to place that the only option is to have it look really cramped/ugly.
* Would still have liked more freestyle decorating within a budget, I was never really a fan of "place 3 of these and 2 of these", the freedom to decorate my way is the most fun about this game!
* Most walk-in-closets are too tiny to really be viable, breaking immersion.

I started out just wandering around, gathering collectibles, and then I found the music tapes and became obsessed with gathering those, they music is soo nice! And every once in a while I'd run into someone I could interrogate..the game just sorta unfolded naturally, even though I had no plan. Very relaxing and enjoyable, I am 12 hours in and the story is getting really interesting. Really like this game so far!

Terrible controls. Movement feels like an 8 bit game. Nooooope.
