Incredibly underrated game, yes it's simple but the gameplay loop is flawless!
Earthbound mood meets first person dungeoneering is an interesting mix that feels weird at first but ramps up pretty fast and in the end works really well!
My only nitpick is that the game feels very barren for the first hour or so but after that it's smooth sailing.
Pick this up, though!

I just started this on PC hence the low game time. I've completed it 100% on Switch a couple of times and love the game. It's simple, cute, and super fun. It was made almost entirely by one guy. No one should be hating on this thing. It's awesome. It is oozing with care and attention to detail.

Fun game with very minor flaws that in no way take away from the seemingly intended experience. Controls are smooth and the game mechanics are fun.

Silly lil game. Don't expect much, buy it on sale, and be rewarded a talking frog in a toilet.
