  • story
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is primarily delivered through a series of repetitive fetch quests, which many players find tedious and frustrating, overshadowing the exploration elements. While the narrative is straightforward and offers some charm, it often requires completing multiple similar tasks to unlock minimal story progression. Overall, the experience is described as relaxing but ultimately limited by its reliance on monotonous quest structures.

    • “Exploration to open maps is enjoyable; you will be curious about what you will find in this area, and there's a sense of happiness when you meet the Ankh (planet inhabitants) or discover a building, excited to get a new quest that also comes with many variations.”
    • “Indie typical with a straightforward storyline, good for relaxing.”
    • “Short little adventure game; although it's a glorified fetch quest, it still has some good qualities, from a colorful art style to a good soundtrack.”
    • “After a while, repetitive fetch quests get boring.”
    • “The exploration part is moderately fun but it's completely overshadowed by every single quest being a fetch quest.”
    • “There is a story, but you need to do like 3 fetch quests to unlock 1 line.”
  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their cute art style and colorful visuals, which enhance the overall experience. Many users appreciate the character models and artwork, noting that the graphics contribute positively to the casual exploration gameplay. However, some players have expressed frustration with the controls, which detract from the enjoyment of the otherwise charming graphics.

    • “The graphics are colorful and the music is okay. I've been able to understand what to do by myself for now, and that's a feat because I get lost in my own house.”
    • “Short little adventure game, although a glorified fetch quest, it still has some good qualities to it, from colorful art style to a good soundtrack.”
    • “The art style has greatly improved.”
    • “Cute art style yes but the controls are horrific and you can't change them at all which makes no sense nowadays.”
    • “The graphics are colorful and the music is okay, I've been able to understand what to do by myself for now, and that's a feat because I get lost in my own house.”
    • “The mechanics are simple and can be pretty repetitive, so definitely not everyone's cup of tea (also the controls can be a pain).”
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by simple exploration mechanics and a cute art style, appealing to those who enjoy casual, laid-back experiences. However, it can become repetitive, primarily involving fetch quests, and some players express disappointment over the removal of survival elements like hunger and thirst. Overall, while it may not suit everyone, it offers an enjoyable experience for fans of exploration games.

    • “It's pretty cool and gives the gameplay another layer.”
    • “I used to love the mobile version of this game when it was on Play Store and was pretty sad when I could no longer download it, so I was pretty excited to find it on Steam since it was literally my favorite game when I was younger. Now about the game, well it's a pretty simple exploration game with a cute art style. The mechanics are simple and can be pretty repetitive, so definitely not everyone's cup of tea (also the controls can be a pain), but overall a good casual game, especially if the thing you enjoy the most in games is exploring and walking around (which is my case).”
    • “Don't expect much gameplay other than fetch quests.”
    • “I was sold, I could not wait to get my hands on it, but after 1.5 hours of gameplay it was a big disappointment.”
    • “I feel they removed some of the more survival mechanics which I'm disappointed about (no hunger/water), but it's still a good game.”
  • grinding
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game, with some enjoying the blend of farming, crafting, and exploration, while others find the backtracking for materials tedious and the overall challenge lacking once fully equipped. Despite the grinding elements, many appreciate the relaxing nature of the gameplay.

    • “[Not all that challenging once you acquire a full arsenal of tools; backtracking for materials can be tedious. The map could do with more useful details.]”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the peaceful and beautiful background tracks, others find the repetitive vocalizations annoying enough to mute the sound entirely. Overall, the music is described as acceptable but not particularly memorable.

    • “✅ Peaceful & beautiful background music.”

    • “The graphics are colorful and the music is okay; I've been able to understand what to do by myself for now, and that's a feat because I get lost in my own house.”
    • “The ongoing stupid oohs and aahs were so irritating I disabled the sound to listen to my own music whilst reading the text dialogue.”
    • “The graphics are colorful and the music is okay, I've been able to understand what to do by myself for now, and that's a feat because I get lost in my own house.”
