Serge and Kid have a cute relationship. It's interesting seeing the heroine being more experienced than the hero, for once. Being a SNES VN gives it a very unique atmosphere and the music is great. The random encounters are annoying as hell, though.

Cute. One thing that differentiates Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons from Stardew Valley is that Stardew has a much wider scale and scope, which makes it lose some of that cozy, down-to-earth atmosphere. The characters aren't as fleshed out as Stardew and the mines are absolutely dreadful to play. I might come back to this but I think Rune Factory may be more my beat.

I'm glad that I'm isolated from most online communities so I don't have preconcieved notions of this being a dumb Reddit game or whatever. Some of the jokes rub me the wrong way (like the native stereotypes in world 2) but on the whole I love this game's humor and art style, it's a perfect blend of 90s Nick and 00s internet. If I had infinite free time I'd 100% this game but my reflexes aren't what they used to be.
