  • grinding
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's grinding mechanics are described as both prevalent and enjoyable, with many players finding the repetitive tasks relaxing rather than tedious. While some acknowledge the grind can become monotonous, the variety of activities—such as farming, cooking, and crafting—keeps the experience engaging. Overall, players appreciate the grind as a core aspect of the gameplay that enhances their enjoyment, especially for fans of farming and management sims.

    • “I've already put nearly 13 hours into the game in just a couple of days, and I don't feel any grinding. I've barely scratched the surface, and I can see there's so much more to explore, like alchemy, farming, skills, and other improvements.”
    • “The grinding in this game feels rewarding rather than tedious. Each session brings new discoveries and progress, making it enjoyable to level up and enhance my character.”
    • “I appreciate how the game balances grinding with engaging content. It never feels like a chore; instead, it motivates me to keep playing and uncovering new features.”
    • “The developer just keeps adding more and more grindy stuff to do in the game, and it's always pretty much the same stuff, just different art.”
    • “For some people, this can become tedious really quickly.”
    • “While it can get a little boring due to the same grindings every day, I feel that it's quite relaxing to play a game that doesn't need too much thought.”
  • story
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is described as charming and intriguing, unfolding gradually through interactions with characters and quests rather than traditional narrative methods. Players appreciate the world-building elements, including the backstory of the island and its inhabitants, though some express a desire for clearer overarching goals and more straightforward storytelling. Overall, the story adds depth to the gameplay, making the grindy mechanics feel rewarding and engaging.

    • “Tl;dr: an honestly very zen game once you get into things with an incredibly lovely (if dark) story that's told through small bits and pieces.”
    • “I'm also enjoying discovering the story of the island, and the robot/human war, bit by bit - the whole game is really well-structured in that regard, giving enough information to keep me interested but not so much that it feels bogged down.”
    • “What I wasn't expecting was world building and a low-key plot that unfolds through listening to your customers and talking to a librarian robot.”
    • “Make no mistake, this isn't a narrative-based game, so there's not a lot of straightforward storytelling.”
    • “I'd also have liked some idea of the overall goal/story arc, rather than just being thrown in without knowing anything about the setting.”
    • “There is not much story to it, which is actually something that I have been looking for.”
  • gameplay

    • “The short version of my review: it has a charming art style and music, engaging and varying gameplay elements, the progression feels earned and not too easy, and it's very go at your own pace with a very relaxed feel.”
    • “I love everything about this - it's super cute, chill enough to be a good unwind without getting boring (it's a little grind-y but it feels very satisfying going about your daily tasks), and the mechanics behind it are really well developed and feel really rewarding once you get going.”
    • “The gameplay loop is very fun and simple.”
    • “The gameplay is okay, if basic, but the English translation is completely incomprehensible.”
    • “Cute concept and simple gameplay, but very broken English throughout and settings menus which make practically no sense.”

    • “I hate to give solo dev games negative reviews, but I do want to warn others about the stuttering issue that persists and makes the game frustrating to play.”
