The gameplay is described as somewhat interesting but ultimately hindered by frequent crashes and numerous bugs, leading to a frustrating experience. While the skill and leveling system offers some depth, it restricts players by requiring significant grinding before accessing sandbox elements. Overall, the gameplay is seen as mediocre, with potential for improvement that has not been addressed by the developers.
“The gameplay was okay as were the visuals; there could be more development done to it, but I purchased it on sale, so I didn't have hugely high expectations.”
“There are enough moving mechanics in this game that it would need that.”
“No fun gameplay, huge amount of bugs, and the devs haven't attempted to update the game since release.”
“Skill/leveling system unlocks equipment/animals/plants. This skill system itself isn't bad, but it limits your gameplay significantly due to its implementation. You have to basically grind through the levels before you can play a sandbox game.”
“Gameplay, from what I have been able to experience without the crashes, is not okay but not great.”

The game's graphics are generally praised for their pleasant and simplistic aesthetic, showcasing impressive attention to detail despite some rough edges. While some players feel the visuals could benefit from further development, they appreciate that the graphics do not detract significantly from the gameplay experience, especially given the game's sim/management nature. However, there are mixed feelings about the accompanying sound effects and music, which some find distracting.
“The game offers some really nice graphics and a nice yet simplistic aesthetic which is pleasant all the same and has some amazing attention to detail, even though it is a little rough around the edges.”
“The graphics are pleasant, but the sound effects for clicking buildings are obnoxious and the music is wildly out of place for this bucolic setting.”
“This game's development seems to have concentrated more on making it pretty than making it reliable or efficient on a graphics card.”
“I haven't found any bugs of sort about the game: it doesn't have the best graphics, but it's also a sim/management game, so it doesn't bother me much.”
“The gameplay was okay as were the visuals; yeah, there could be more development done to it.”
