    • “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.”

    The music in the game has received widespread praise for its catchy, relaxing, and upbeat nature, enhancing the overall cozy atmosphere.

    • “Super cozy game and the music just puts you in a good mood!”

    • “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. Again, it isn't bad music, just jarring for what the game is.”
    • “The music and art almost feel AI-generated.”
  • gameplay44 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized by an addictive loop that evolves as players unlock new items and mechanics, offering a blend of city-building and automation that many find enjoyable and charming. While the game is praised for its intuitive controls, cute graphics, and engaging mechanics, some players note a lack of long-term challenge and occasional repetitiveness after several hours of play. Overall, it appeals to casual gamers and fans of life simulation games, though improvements in tutorial guidance and depth of management mechanics 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 similar titles, thanks to automation features and a focus on city management. While some tasks can feel repetitive, the game allows for a relaxed pace and encourages players to explore and engage with various activities without overwhelming them. The balance between grinding and automation, along with the charming gameplay, makes it appealing for fans of the genre.

    • “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 generally well-received, with players enjoying the main storyline that takes around 10-18 hours to complete, alongside engaging side quests and town-building elements. However, some users express a desire for more narrative depth and additional content, such as online co-op and mini-games, to enhance the overall experience. The gameplay is described as addictive, allowing players to explore and develop their towns at their own pace, though some find the quest system lacking in clarity.

    • “I just finished the storyline of the game after 18 hours of play.”
    • “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?”

    • “It took about 10/11 hours to complete the main story.”
  • stability9 mentions

While graphical issues and AI tweaks are noted, many users express satisfaction with the game's performance, though concerns about online play and certain gameplay mechanics remain.

    • “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.”

    • “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.”
    • “Again, I would also love to be able to customize things a bit more, and I feel like this would add some replayability.”
