I’m not the target audience for these type of management/sim games at all. I’m also not interested in the educational aspect or the setting of this game. The reason I tried this out is because it’s part of Apple Arcade and it has a positive reputation.

The game is clearly polished, the graphics are charming, it offers a lot of replay value and is a good game in its own right. My issues with it have more to do with the genre than anything wrong with the game, probably. It’s a lot of reading and supply management. Not so much the rest. I also don’t like it when things are perfectly fine and all of a sudden 2 of my party members become sick, one decides to leave us or something randomly bad happens outside of your control. They’re well fed, morale is high, have stamina and are clean and yet these things still happen. I’ve reached 2 towns and have seen 17% according to the in-game tracker. The game already started feeling repetitive and I didn’t see myself playing more.

Again, it doesn’t make it a bad game. It’s just niche and it probably won’t change your mind if you’re not into those games.
