    • “The graphics are adorable and funny.”
    • “The details included in some graphics, animations, and interactions are impressive, considering nowadays the trend is to make games barebones.”
    • “First of all, even on low graphics settings, I found it was making my Steam Deck run very hot, much hotter than other games with similar styles of graphics.”
    • “Also, the art style and animations don't feel polished.”
    • “Lots of reviews compare it to Animal Crossing, but aside from the aesthetic, there is no similarity.”
  • music53 mentions

    The music in the game has received widespread praise for its catchy, upbeat, and relaxing qualities, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.

    • “Super cozy game and the music just puts you in a good mood!”
    • “The soundtrack was a great idea, it's so fun to relax and listen to.”
    • “I also don't love the music; it's very high energy for what is effectively a city builder.”
    • “You can change songs on a radio feature, but it doesn't feel super diverse yet and again isn't bad music, just jarring for what the game is.”
    • “The music and art almost feels AI-generated.”
  • gameplay44 mentions

    The gameplay is widely praised for its addictive loop and charming mechanics, drawing comparisons to titles like MySims and Stardew Valley. While many players enjoy the intuitive controls and customization options, some note that the gameplay can become repetitive after a certain point, with limited long-term replayability. Overall, it offers a relaxing and enjoyable experience, though improvements in tutorial guidance and challenge balance are desired.

    • “Absolutely immediately addicting gameplay loop that evolves as you unlock more and more items/buildings/etc.”
    • “The style is super adorable, the gameplay is intuitive and satisfying, the pace at which you unlock new mechanics feels very seamless, and there's legitimately so much to this game already.”
    • “The gameplay loop is fun and addictive and I have really enjoyed it so far and I am looking forward to relaxing and decorating my town after finishing all the main story challenges.”
    • “After about 15 hours, I was pretty done with the town-building mechanic.”
    • “However, in its current state, the gameplay loop does not provide a lot of challenge or long-term replayability.”
    • “The only negative is that the gameplay gets a little repetitive after a while, and after about 13 hours I feel like I've pretty much 'beaten' the game.”
  • grinding29 mentions

    Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be manageable and less tedious than in traditional farming sims, thanks to automation features and a focus on city management. While some tasks can feel repetitive, the game encourages a relaxed pace with opportunities for expansion and resource gathering without overwhelming players. The balance between grinding and automation allows for a more enjoyable experience, making it appealing for those who prefer a casual gaming style.

    • “The game isn't grindy; you can go at your own pace. There are hidden goodies and events scattered around the town, and waiting for items to be produced is a breeze.”
    • “Not grindy, so it can be over pretty quickly if you don’t take your time.”
    • “So even though I have over $1,000 in the bank, if I want to buy more park benches for my town, I can't just buy them - I have to run back and forth between the crafting machines and the export building to send stuff off so I can get tickets to buy park benches, trees, fences, etc. It's both tedious and nonsensical.”
    • “Found myself grinding to level 9 rank town just out of necessity to keep my banks not constantly capped.”
    • “It is definitely more of a relaxing management game rather than a relaxing city builder or farming/crafting sim, as most of the progress feels a bit rushed, not giving you much time to decorate or adjust your town between challenges.”
  • story18 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is engaging, with players enjoying the freedom to design their towns and complete quests at their own pace, contributing to a sense of personal achievement. While the main storyline can be completed in about 10-18 hours, players express a desire for more narrative content and additional quests to enhance the experience.

    • “The controls are super smooth, and you feel like the hero of your own story right away.”
    • “The gameplay loop is fun and addictive, and I have really enjoyed it so far and I am looking forward to relaxing and decorating my town after finishing all the main story challenges.”
    • “The UI could use some better design in my opinion, and maybe more story-related content or even minigames?”
    • “Lack of quest line/basic info.”
    • “It took about 10/11 hours to complete the main story.”
  • stability9 mentions

    Overall, the game's stability is a mixed bag; while many players report a charming experience with good performance, particularly on the Steam Deck, there are notable bugs and glitches, especially related to AI and gameplay mechanics. Some users have encountered issues with online play and graphical glitches, but many feel these are manageable given the game's early access status.

    • “I'm still early into it, but it is endlessly charming in its presentation. It also runs great on the Steam Deck; I don't know how it's not verified. Maybe it dips once you really start to have a proper town running, but I really don't foresee that.”
    • “I have zero complaints; it runs great.”
    • “This runs great on the Steam Deck.”
    • “From my personal experience, I find these games are 50/50 depending on whether they're giving you the full game experience with some polishing needed, or if you're in for a very buggy, little improvement game with prolonged updates that make or break it.”
    • “Only thing negative about this game is no online play except remote play, which is buggy. So keep that in mind if you want to play with friends; you're going to have to wait until the online update comes unless your friends live close or with you.”
    • “Notes: still buggy but understandable since it's in the early access phase.”
  • humor7 mentions

    Players appreciate the humor in the game, noting that it is woven into the art, animations, and gameplay mechanics, often eliciting laughter through amusing situations like getting stuck under buildings.

    • “The art is beautiful and all the movements are on point; you can see the humor in every move, and I love it!”
    • “I did get stuck in a house I built and had to move it to get free, which I thought was hilarious.”

    Overall, the game's current gameplay loop lacks significant challenge and long-term replayability, with players expressing hope for future updates, such as a co-op mode and enhanced customization options, to enhance replay value.

    • “However, in its current state, the gameplay loop does not provide a lot of challenge or long-term replayability.”
    • “Of course, the only worry is how big (and replayable) the game is going to get over time, and whether plans such as a fully-fledged co-op mode will be completed.”
