Players find the initial experience of managing and growing their tribe engaging and enjoyable; however, the gameplay becomes largely idle as they wait for villagers to accumulate science points, leading to a sense of grinding as progress slows down.
“Taking care of and growing your tribe is fun and addicting at first, but eventually most of the game is idle while you wait for villagers to rack up science points to unlock new clothing styles, building projects, farming, and possibilities with potion brewing.”
“Clothing stations, farming land, and material stands allow you to collect more than 500 of each item, which can feel overwhelming and tedious.”
