i really liked the demo for this! its visual style is quite nice but i enjoy Home's morphing abilities a lot as well
if youre looking for a comparison for how the gameplay works, u rlly just gotta play as blind as possible
But if you gotta hear smthin weird, what if animal crossing was also space station sillicon valley

Anyways wishlist it on steam and check it out! demo is a nice length :) (6/15/22)

EDIT 1: I played Moon and this is way more like fucking moon , so fucking sick. fuck my other comparisons


EDIT2: OKAY
Now ive fully beat the game and I LOVED THIS, lets get the obvious down, the aesthetic is fucking great I love the mix of prerendered, drawn and clay-toy looking models SO! MUCH! fuck
I think the story is pretty laid back in a good way because the worldbuilding tidbits from mons are rad and how echoes and whispers work is interesting, Moon talking about the Foam at the very start had me like "wuah? huh???/" for the first hour but Im pretty sure I fully get everything now, I wish the granny and martin had more outward interactions with Home outside of where theyre residing but otherwise every mon is fun in their own way and I like every design :>
A couple of the latter powers you unlock I think are kinda???? I dont really get their significance when you upgrade them because they arent necessarily there for movement's sake or mobility like some of the others
but thats fiiiiine because i think theyre still fun and cool

I also think this gameplay loop is fuckin great and I got ADDICTED to scratchers, I WAS POPPING JACKPOTS LEFT AND RIGHT LIKE BAM BAM BAM
i cant wait to be a drunk piece of shit and down 33 shabstars 6 coffees and watch the whispers fly in the next run..

final thoughts: This game has a lot of heart and while I think it has some shortcomings here and there(unless there's a little bit more shit u cant see in ur first playthrough, in subsequent ones), I think as a cozy adventure package about shooting the shit with some little weirdies on an island it excels.

SEND IT.
