I know it's gonna be a good game when I'm preemptively upset about finishing it and I've just started. So far I love everything I've seen and it runs well on my Steam Deck. Lovely style, cute NPCs, fun mechanics, and a great overall mix with the combat vs the cozy restaurant/town aesthetic. Also, you can pet the... dog? Worm? You can pet the good boy!

Shut up it's awesome

Ok, so! I play a stupid amount of farming sims. It's my favorite genre. I was really hesitant to get this after reading some of the discussions and comments. I'm glad I decided to go for it. A lot of the things people complain about here and there don't seem to exist as issues anymore.

I don't really understand how anyone struggles with inventory management...? Just make chests! You get two full bars of inventory space to start which is more than some games I've played and chests are very cheap/easy to craft. You can put them wherever you want too. If you're familiar with farming sims at all you really shouldn't struggle with anything here. Apparently you can get bigger bags later but I haven't really bothered trying to find anything like that yet.

You can save whenever you want and sleep for only a couple of hours or more which is nice for fast forwarding crafting. The graphics are adorable, it feels good on controller, and it runs great on the Steamdeck. I don't know if people are just being nitpicky or if they've patched in some fixes but everything seems good so far.

After playing a few more hours I am absolutely loving this game. Great job devs! I love how the shop works already and I just barely got the first little stand. Here are some things that other games in this genre could learn from you:

- Chests can be moved even when they have stuff in them. Crafting stations can also pull from chests which I always love to see.
- When turning chests they have a lid animation so you can easily tell what way they're facing. Great attention to detail on this one very thoughtful.
- Fishing doesn't make me want to unalive myself
- No rush or time gating. The stamina/sleep system is really chill and I'd love to see more devs implement something similar. This set a new standard for me for sleep mechanics in this genre tbh.
- Eating/drinking exists but it doesn't feel bad or like a constant chore
- It doesn't spend hours drip feeding tools and dragging you through tedious cutscenes. You're given a pretty full kit right up front and the freedom to play with it
- Veggies etc rotting doesn't feel great at first but you learn to be careful with what you grow and not to pick things until you're ready to use or sell them. You also get tons of free crop seeds just for smacking grass around so it doesn't feel like a huge loss if you accidentally let something spoil.
- If there must be a stamina system, this is a good one. It's forgiving and very easy to manage. I think people were being dramatic or they updated it because town doesn't seem that terribly far and sprinting feels pretty fast.

I'm really enjoying what's there so far and looking forward to updates! Just a suggestion for other reviewers that I've seen... maybe don't buy an early access game if you want a complete game? Early access isn't a new concept. I don't know why people are still confused about this. Turn your big feelings into something positive and go give nice reviews to games you like!

I'm tired of waiting for decent controller support for this game. There's just no excuse anymore. Especially considering all of the DLC they've pumped out. I'm really disappointed.

They should add parkour to the description of this game because it's required to get through a lot of the last parts of the game. I really don't enjoy parkour which is why I don't buy games like that. It felt jarring and added a sour note to an otherwise exceptional game. I'm still begrudgingly recommending the game because MOST of it is great but be aware that they force you to do a lot of tedious parkour with clunky movement later in the game to progress.

I don't really like VNs and this is definitely not my usual type of game... All I can really say is that I would die for Socks.

Delightful! I played the demo a good amount and got this as soon as I could. Very nice so far. Runs great on the Deck!

I'm not the type of person to require there be a female PC but I just can't see a reason why it's not an option in this game. I guess I'm just not willing to pay $30 to play a dorky looking dude in what was originally a mobile game.

Saving kitties, using ethically sourced free range meat, and providing the best customer service possible. Now that's what I call wholesome!
