The story mode of the game is widely criticized for being overly short, often described as a mere tutorial rather than a fully developed narrative. Many players find the writing to be lackluster and the characters unengaging, with dialogue that feels forced and repetitive. While some appreciate the atmospheric setting and the basic introduction to winemaking mechanics, the consensus is that the story lacks depth and fails to provide a compelling experience, leaving players wanting more.
- “The story mode gives you a nice sense of the atmosphere of a European vineyard, and escaping corporate life, but without fooling you into thinking running a vineyard is a holiday.”
- “As a complete novice in the industry, I felt the story brought the whole winemaking process alive to me.”
- “I loved the animation, storytelling, and real wine knowledge that went into making this game.”
- “The story mode is absurdly worded, and whose idea was it to insert the annoying typewriter sounds as they chat?”
- “The story mode is too short and you can't really change the course of it; you have absolutely no power in this storyline, so much that you could skip everything and avoid feeling empty after you read each 'chapter' unfolding before your eyes.”
- “The story is weak and also got on my nerves at times.”

However, many have criticized the execution, citing clunky controls, a lack of clear explanations for mechanics, and a repetitive gameplay loop that can lead to disengagement.

- “The gameplay mechanics are unique and make it exciting to play.”
- “The core gameplay loop is very interesting, and the devs have done a very good job with the audiovisuals.”

- “The gameplay mechanics feel too random and unintuitive, and the upgrades are far more expensive than they need to be.”

- “I really wanted to like this game, but it's more tedious than fun.”

- “A great game with a beautiful atmosphere, being carried by brilliant sound design and music.”

- “There is no depth to the game; there is no atmosphere.”
- “I think I could forgive these limitations if only the game had a sense of atmosphere.”
- “If the devs continue to build out the game and bring in an atmosphere that allows decisions to have outcomes, and passion to have purpose, I'll be keen to give it another shot.”

Overall, the game's replayability is seen as a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the different tactics required for various terroirs and find it enjoyable, others feel that the lack of sufficient randomization options, such as wine attributes and map variations, limits its long-term appeal. Suggestions for improvement include adding features to randomize wine characteristics and field qualities to enhance replay value. Comparatively, it does not reach the replayability levels of games like Stardew Valley.
- “Very replayable as different terroirs force you to keep changing tactics in different playthroughs.”
- “I think it's a fun game with a rather big replay value.”
- “Endless mode doesn't quite have enough randomization options for replayability to be maximized. I would like to see the option to randomize optimal values for each wine type, or perhaps even rename them to create random fictional wine types.”
- “I do not feel that this is a game that has the same replay value as, say, Stardew Valley or other similar games, and it is more punishing for no real reason.”
- “Making some new maps and randomizing the field qualities would add a lot of replayability to the game.”

- “I appreciate how smooth the gameplay is; it never lags or stutters.”

- “I really want to like this game, but it's buggy and a bit on the bland side.”
- “The game is still buggy with lagging issues and ghost clicks. I also encountered an error where I loaded the game with a bottling step on the board, ended my turn, and got a buffer overflow, resulting in a 25,856 turn bottling operation.”

The humor in the game is described as a mix of amusing achievements and a lighthearted plot that engages players with its quirky mechanics, though some find it falls flat at times. While the gameplay can be entertaining and sweet, it also leads to a sense of confusion and frustration, detracting from the overall comedic experience.
- “There are even a couple of funny achievements, good theoretical basis (as for one who's far from winemaking), a few bugs I've noticed, and, ah, a plot, too.”
- “And it's funny because as you play through the game, the entire mechanics are like that: 'pick A or B.'”
- “It is funny, it is sweet, you cannot stop when you start, and the next day, between acids and caskets and winters and summers, you get a satisfying headache!”
- “This looks like it's supposed to be funny - it isn't.”

emotional

The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by a wholesome and engaging narrative that fosters a strong connection to the wine-making process, making players feel empowered to effect change. However, the abrupt ending leaves players feeling empty and wishing for more story depth, despite the overall positive and lighthearted tone. The tutorial's lack of engagement is noted as a drawback in the emotional journey.
- “Because the story makes you feel like you could be the change. It puts you on an emotional level and connection with the wine-making process, but suddenly everything ends out of the blue. Too soon, you are left alone and become just a money printer. It makes you feel empty and wishing there was more to that story to accompany you on this journey.”
- “Watered my crops for sure, honestly just a wholesome little game with a lot more content than I expected.”
- “But this turns into a wonderful banter and the end is wholesome.”
- “The tutorial is hidden in a rather short and boring story, and it isn't very engaging.”
- “The emotional depth of the characters feels superficial and lacks genuine connection.”

monetization

The game seems to lack the streamlined monetization typically found in mobile games, leading to frustration among players.

- “It feels like a mobile game without the monetization of a mobile game.”
