I really enjoyed it, however there are some elements that made me almost quit it several times.

- The combat/rogue-like part of the game seems very forced and doesn't integrate well with the rest of the gameplay. I felt like being forced to play a different game while enjoying the cult-management part. It also feels half-baked, with tons of mechanics borrowed from other games but that don't really add together. It's also very easy, even the final boss.

- There are tons of unskippable animations and cutscenes that really made the experience frustrating to me at times.

To me it was a very chill game, entertaining to pass some time, and that's it. I felt like the game didn't present real challenges (or they weren't interesting enough), so I ended up enjoying more its cozy side, but even then I felt like it lacked something, not sure what. I do appreciate the general feeling/message it goes for, though.

The game has three difficulty settings, a "gardener" one, meant to enjoy the chill/creative side of the game without thinking too much, an "engineer"(?) one, meant to enjoy its strategic side, and a middle difficulty which is meant to balance the two sides. I picked the middle one since I wasn't sure what to expect, but it may be more enjoyable in any of the two extremes.
