I really wanted to enjoy this game. I love the art style, and the positive take on the afterlife and the gameplay fits the theme rather well. I love the idea of filling a drawn world with light and colour as an indication of progress.

Sadly, it felt too slow and restrictive to be enjoyable. I found myself logging in every day for 30 minutes of gameplay before being told to come back tomorrow. This format does not fit a console very well, especially when it takes a few minutes to load. I had given up on the game after a week.

The NPCs share dialogue with lines like "It’s really important to make friends. What if you get sick and need to crowdfund your appendectomy?!" being shared by multiple characters, thus removing all humour and character.

The fetch quests felt monotonous with minimal rewards or progress. The system felt broken and unbalanced, when I could sell quartz gems for a fortune but I have to upgrade the shop for a boiled egg. I dug up a rare item and gave it to the museum, only to discover that it was required for a task after the fact.

I'll probably revisit the title after a few patches, as I have played the game quite close to its release. But in the state that I played it, I found it quite disappointing.
