Generally charming and pleasant, with a few unfortunate design choices that drag it down. Lena Raine’s soundtrack is great, and the 2D illustrations of fish and food and people are cute and imaginative and expressive, but then the voxel graphics don’t really work for anything except the buildings because they strip everything else of emotion and character. The fishing and cooking loops feel tactile and engaging enough in small doses, but progression through things like recipes requires grindy repetition (e.g. making 3 batches of 1 item each gives more progress towards new recipes than 2 batches of 20 items?) and quality of life shortcuts are held back for way too long.
