Players find the grinding aspect of the game somewhat tedious, particularly when it comes to reassigning workers after deaths, but appreciate the depth and variety in resource gathering and farming mechanics. Despite the grind, the game's charm and the dedication of its developer shine through, making it a recommended experience for fans of farming and civilization-building genres.
“I do wish there was a less tedious way of reassigning workers when someone dies.”
“Third, there is resource gathering in this game; the two most important resources are grass (farming uses a lot of this) and wood (firewood is the basic power for keeping houses warm and for some factories).”
“Then the other three early resources are mushrooms (important for food, fishing, and hunting), herbs (for food, farming, and cooking), and stones (construction, homes, and roads use it a lot).”

“The gameplay itself is not that riveting either.”
“And now that I mentioned the tutorial, it's one of the most annoying ones you can imagine, with dialog after dialog after dialog of short one- to two-sentence interruptions that provide little useful information.”
“You may find some gameplay on YouTube... take a look and see for yourself if it is something you are willing to support :)”
