Artisan: Going Home Again

What a great, relaxing little game. The artwork is really cute, the writing is charming, the characters feel like human beings, and it's full of little minigames... this game has been a pleasant surprise, and I almost never write reviews, but I feel like this one deserves every boost in exposure it can get. Also, note there's a free demo, which is what sold me on it. Definitely recommended, and if you have any interest (or any doubts), give the demo a whirl and see what you think. The main game doesn't disappoint, so if you like that, it's absolutely worth the price. ETA: I still recommend it, but I will say it has basically no support despite having a few issues. And it's difficult to read the text if you have eye issues or a high def. monitor.

Cute and cozy stat raising game, clearly made with love. Just very charming! Extremely low stakes! Set in a world where artists are valued, art jobs pay what they say they will, and a girl can buy a house, which is pretty unrealistic but very very nice!

I played the demo a few years back and just recently bought the game. The whole experience is very wholesome and I love the different character interactions. It's a nice, calming, relaxing and just a good way to chill. Reading the text can be a bit difficult though, for me the font size is too small.

First of all I recommend playing the demo. I found that it gave a good idea of what the game was like. It's a fairly short game altogether but the story and characters are excellent and the art is adorable. I very much enjoyed playing every route I have seen so far. As well as being able to choose which character to try to get an ending with (or get an ending with multiple characters) you can also choose by which means you would like to win. Writing a novel, a comic, selling paintings, crafts and more. Any option is viable if you talk to the right people. This gives the game a lot of replayability. All in all it's a charming game I will certainly play again at some point.

Short but fun. I like how you can do a new game plus with your upgraded stats.
