The gameplay is described as enjoyable yet plagued by bugs and confusing mechanics, making it feel unnecessarily challenging. While it offers a detailed life simulation experience reminiscent of "The Sims," players find the need for meticulous control over various tasks to be cumbersome, especially with the lack of a pause feature during house building. Overall, the game presents a simpler graphic style but complicates gameplay with its demanding mechanics.
“Nice gameplay.”
“This game is similar to 'The Sims' but is more affordable and worth the price. It has simple graphics and detailed life activities, like step-by-step cooking and managing various tasks. The gameplay is challenging as you need to take care of everything and control each step, unlike 'The Sims' which is easier to manage.”
“The gameplay is engaging and requires careful management of tasks, making it a rewarding experience.”
“There are consistent bugs and glitches that alter the gameplay.”
“The mechanics are quite confusing, and the game feels much harder than it needs to be.”
“Very similar to 'The Sims' (but this is cheaper and worth the price), this game has simple graphics and detailed life activities (like step-by-step cooking and flushing items in the toilet), but the gameplay is difficult. You need to take care of everything and control every action step by step, unlike 'The Sims' which is easier to manage. A current problem is that time does not pause when you build the house, making time pass too quickly.”

The graphics of the game are considered subpar, with users noting significant frame rate drops that detract from the experience. While the visuals are simple and reminiscent of "The Sims," they lack detail and optimization, leading to a less immersive gameplay experience. Overall, improvements in graphics and performance are needed to enhance player enjoyment.
“The graphics are stunning and really bring the game world to life.”
“The art style is unique and adds a lot of charm to the overall experience.”
“The environments are beautifully designed, making exploration a joy.”
“I feel as if this game would be perfect to play if there was a way to optimize graphics and prevent FPS from dropping drastically to where the TV sounds like WWII going on.”
“Graphics need work.”
“Very similar to 'The Sims' (but this is cheaper and worth the price), but this game is simple in graphics, with details on life activities (step-by-step cooking, making 'stuff' in the toilet and flushing it, etc.) and difficult in gameplay (you need to take care of everything you want and control everything step by step, unlike 'The Sims' which is easier to handle). Currently, the problem is that time does not pause when you build the house, making time pass too quickly.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a double-edged sword; while the realistic details like managing groceries and kitchen supplies add depth, they can also become tedious and overwhelming due to the associated costs and time constraints. Despite this, some players appreciate the challenge and enjoy the learning experience that comes with repeated failures.
“It feels like it's harder than The Sims due to the tedious actions of having to buy enough groceries, plates, and frying pans. What sounds like a fun, realistic detail becomes too much of a hard task due to expenses, time, and the lagging on top of that.”
“I can see people will think this is a tedious game, but I freaking enjoyed it.”

“The optimization is not at its best, but it's still early access, so it's okay.”
“I hope this game is being worked on to be optimized in this era so we can have our first Minecraft-inspired life sim, but judging by the time, it's most likely not.”
“I hope this game is being worked on to be optimized in this era so we can have our first Minecraft-inspired life sim, but judging by the time, it's not looking likely.”
