i love eastward so i love this a lot, and it does a lot of clever tedium-cutting-out. the graphics and UI and audio are all fantastic of course

that said, i don't know if it hit the perfect timing and balance with its core loop. its very possible to end up with nothing to do but skip days until you get certain NPCs arriving to round off the recipe book, with no real incentive to keep the farm going, which was a bummer and sort of soured the end of an otherwise very fun very cute experience

none-the-less a very good audiobook game
