The grinding aspect of this farming simulator is characterized by repetitive tasks like farming and selling crops, which some players find addictive despite the lack of a compelling story. While the game offers a relaxing experience, it is criticized for allowing other players to interfere with your progress, making it less appealing for those seeking a serious or complex simulation. Overall, it is recommended for casual play and short bursts of fun rather than deep engagement.
- “Sandbox is amateur developer codespeak for 'I don't know how to make game content, level design is much too hard, so I won't add any content, I'll call it a sandbox!' You run around farming and selling crops while the AI/other players (if there were any) steal your stuff just because they can.”
- “Another fault is that there is zero story, so I feel like I'm farming for no reason (which with games like Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon, I don't feel that way).”
- “If you are looking for a serious farming simulator or some ultra-complex strategic multiplayer game, this isn't the game for you.”

The story in this game is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with players feeling that the farming mechanics are devoid of meaningful narrative context. While some elements depict a harsh and chaotic world dominated by predatory landlords and class struggles, the overall experience is marred by a sense of aimlessness, leaving players feeling disconnected from their in-game actions. Despite these shortcomings, there are moments of dark humor and absurdity that some players find entertaining, particularly in the interactions with quirky characters.
- “Predatory landlords control all of the remaining derelict property and you must sell your last remaining possessions to afford even the most modest of accommodations. Once you have acquired a plot of land to sharecrop, one must begin planting their seeds. Growth is slow but steady, and eventually you will have a modest sum of money to spend. You decide to walk to town to invest in some new higher-quality seeds for your farm. The seed merchant coerces you, they can charge as many hundreds as they like for a single seed, there are no laws to protect against this in this avaricious wasteland. You despair as you spend the last of your coin on seeds to propagate your subsistence farm, but you regale at the prospect of a large harvest. As you leave the store, a noble runs around the corner, diving headlong into your chest, catching you with his superior speed, and he knocks you to the ground. He keeps body slamming you as you lay there sprawled in the dirt. He tears the seeds from your hands, shoving them into his pockets with his grubby hands. He then moves on to the last of your coin, tearing open your coin purse with fervor. As he pockets the last of your gold, he slams you into the ground one last time. You stand up slowly and attempt to give chase, but his pure noble bloodline provides him with an increased vigor that no peasant can match. You give up; defeatedly, you limp back to your farm. As you approach, you realize that your gate is wide open. You think to yourself 'surely I locked it when I left...?' As you get closer you realize what has occurred. A look of horror floods your face as you see all of your crops lying in ruins, trampled by an opportunistic peasant. While you were being beaten mercilessly by the upper class, the impoverished peasants decided to raze your farm, destroying your only source of income, even taking your only chicken and throwing it into the river. You walk into your cardboard shack in tears, your life in ruins. The only thing to ease your woes is your Hatsune Miku mistress that you found in the woods yesterday. You cry yourself to sleep that night. As you wake, your waifu greets you with a lovingly prepared meal. Where did she get the food?”
- “Another fault is that there is 0 story, so I feel like I'm farming for no reason (which with games like Stardew Valley or Harvest Moon, I don't feel that way). Overall, if you're looking for a cute and simple farming game to kill time, I'd recommend checking this one out.”
- “No story, no plot, resources were limited.”
- “You walk into your cardboard shack in tears, your life in ruins... the only thing to ease your woes is your Hatsune Miku mistress that you found in the woods yesterday... you cry yourself to sleep that night.”
