Ooof. I really wanted to like this game. I love cozy games, I love fishing, and I was excited to be playing an older character who was already married. But whatever positives this game has are vastly outweighed by how much the game wastes your time. Of particular note re: time wasting is the cooking minigame, which takes several minutes to cook a single dish... and if you want to master the recipe, you need to cook every dish nine times (and that's only if you get it perfect every time-- even a minor slip on the hardest minigame needs you to reload your save if you want to maximize your efficiency). Moreover the writing falls short of great; the setting is depressing but characters talk exclusively in quirky quips. It feels like the game is afraid to be sincere.

Absolutely cannot recommend this game. 4/10 and most of those points are me seeing potential and wanting it to be better.
