~full release review after 14 hours
it’s hard for me to find a game where i lose track of time but this game is so addicting and before i know it i’ve played 3 hours. there is quest after quest, commissions, exploration. the characters are so fun to get to know to - to try and find their likes & dislikes is actually interesting instead of being a chore. in my 14 hours of gameplay, i still didn’t unlock farming so this is not a farming-heavy game if you’re looking for that! it’s a cozy game but not one where you can just shut your brain off, because as a builder, you are assembling,
figuring out how to acquire certain materials and then seeing you need a machine to get that material and building that machine and making the material required… you get the point. i mean this is why it is really fun and addicting. it feels like you are actually building something. you also get mails from your mother and best friend and you can reply to them, you even have multiple reply options to choose from! these small things make it a really immersive game and i definitely recommend it even at full price. the main story takes around 80 hours according to the internet and i'm already feeling a bond with the characters so i can't wait to see the rest of the game!
