- Original review -
This game is not for everyone.
Days go super fast, plenty of bugs, some weird design decisions.... But... I still have to recommend it.
The more you play the more you realize why some stuff is the way it is.
This is not a conventional farming game like HM/SoS/Stardew, etc.
I consider it a proof of concept akin to Harvestella, where people are trying to mix other game genres with farming games, in a way it hasn't been done before.
My only wish is the devs get enough money to complete development and hopefully make a sequel with a bigger team and a bigger budget, because the ideas they have (Inner worlds, character customization by becoming a literal thief, managing workers, breeding special animals and flowers, etc) are SUPER GOOD, they just need a little bit of polish.

-----
WHAT MAKES THIS GAME DIFFERENT FROM OTHER TITLES?

-LEVELING SYSTEM--->(The leveling system in this game is so unique! You start with rank E with all your abilities(Farming,fishing,loggin,minin...) and the more u improve your rank , U get real adventages, like if you will be rank C at farming and get the iron Hoe or Water can,U will be able to do 6 titles instead of 1
-There is just enough stations!--->(Well imo my time at series and SoS POT , the have TOO MANY crafting stations and its just too much! This game has enough creative stations like Flower Arrengment station which u can make Your OWN POT!
-YOU CAN HIRE WORKERS--->( i dont really wanna spoil this part but they will do fishing farming petting feeding and all these)
-UPGRADE TOWN SHOPS
-ALL ANIMALS HAVE SPECIAL ABILITY AND YOU CAN RIDE THEM

I picked this up several months ago and it was not great. They have been doing a ton of work on it so I started playing again and it is much better. Optimization is still on the poor side so I recommend "low" graphics settings for now, but the actual gameplay is the typical farming sim with enough unique features to make it interesting and fun.

If I could I would give it a ''thumbs in the middle'' coz the games has a lot of pros and a lots of cons. There are some aspects of the game that seem very how can I put this ''conservative''- I understand that you can't have same sex relationship which really suck for a gay man like me. Also to put this feature in must've taken them some time as they had to assign genders to NPC's and then code it a way so you can only date the opposite sex -which kind of breaks my heart as this was implemented intentionally. Now that I have gotten my gay stuff out of the way -let's talk about the other stuff. It is an open world game - with pretty much no loading screens. Also the game is graphically and aesthetically stunning. The dialog doesn't make much sense and so doesn't the story but I couldn't care less- this is a farming sim for fucks sake. The game is laggy and I do hope they will optimise it so it runs better as I have a pretty beefy pc and it still lags for me (Battle Field 5 doesn't). I adore how the game is fantasy mixed with the real world. The way they have implemented little details like animations when you water the crops and they grow in front of your very eyes. The game overall is amazing- they just need to work on the translations, optimisation, dialog and story and plz ffs take out the homophobic bs. Thank yew ! <3

Let's get this out of the way: as it stands, the English is iffy. It is perfectly intelligible, but there are typos, weird phrasing, and sometimes text overflows the limits of a box and thus cuts off.
If you can look past that, you'll find a great farming sim with colourful characters. One of my favourite things is that characters have "inner worlds" -- you see the character surrounded by things important to them, and you can investigate. They may tell you more about an item. They may kick you out of their world if you touch something sensitive. They feel alive.
I think that's what makes me love this game so much. It feels full of life. Characters have their own varied relationships among themselves, which get registered in the character encyclopedia as you discover them.
Gaining their favour can be easy or hard depending on the character. You can be best friends, you can be lovers. (Right now not all same-sex pairings have confession cutscenes, but I expect them to be added. I'm not sure all characters are player-sexual, some may have a preferred gender. Sadly, gender in this game is binary.)
There's so much to say about this game. But what I want to convey the most is: if you feel you can put up with the subpar translation (assuming it doesn't get fixed for release), and the rest sounds interesting... Give it a go.

This game is REALLY fun, you just have to grind through the beginning and learn a lot of different game mechanics. Also, my steam deck supports this just fine. If you like farming, cooking, mining, fighting, constructing a city, and fantastical charm this is def. for you.

So far...it's ok. I really want to love this one. I do recommend a beefy computer. It runs super choppy on mine.
Very , very laggy. The translation still needs a LOT of work. It makes the game more difficult to follow when the translations are so confusing.
I think once the translations get fixed a lot of the awkward conversations will make more sense and not be as creepy as they seem now. I hope they get rid of the "asshole" comment by the hairdresser. That was really out of place.
I am loving the concepts I see here and hope they get to making this the fantastic game it wants to be. love the animations and art. It would help if you could control some of the random animations. I think that could help with performance issues from some less that beefy computers. (I can live without sparkles and dust plumes).
So far...I like it.
As of 12-24-23 the game is unplayable. I have requested a refund. Probably wont get it but it never hurts to try. I really wanted this one to work. very dissappointed.
