Camp Canyonwood

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't abandon this game! It is ammazing, but since the devs rushed it out of early access, there are glaring issues, but please support this game so maybe the devs will remember that it exsists

I was really looking forward to playing this game. I am sadly left dissapointed as the game still has issues that the devs seem to just be ignoring...Just completely abandoned. Looks like the last time anyone had a reply in the discord channel was 17/03/2024. Last anything to be updated on the game was when it got full release 26/02/2024. I would be more than happy to change this reveiw if they fix issues that people have been reporting about, but they won't. I've deleted it entirely now.

They put in all this stuff you can do and forgot to give you any reason to do any of it.

This game is moderately entertaining but incredibly clunky to navigate. The campers consistently get in the way, making it difficult to to pick things up or interact with them. I've only played a couple hours so I haven't encountered any of the game breaking bugs discussed in other reviews. I bought this on sale, so I'm not super beat up about it...but if I had paid $20 for it I definitely would be. If it really is abandoned, it's pretty sad that they're still charging $20 for an unfinished game. The dialogue is fun and cute but gets a little tedious considering you have to click to skip it. The inventory system isn't very straightforward and you're never explicitly told how to actually make money (you sell things to the creepy guy in the trailer across the street.) Overall it's worth the 4 bucks I spent on it. I was really hoping I got a good deal on a neat little sim to occupy my time, and it scratched that itch a little...but it's not super rewarding. I would like to recommend it, but at the price point there's absolutely no way. Wait for another sale if you want this game, don't pay full price.

So my take on the game is that game is bad its shallow, boring and slow spend 16 hours thinking game picks up at some point boy I was wrong same game loop over and over the more you spend time playing the more you get annoyed by the game basically game consist of you doing boring chores like gather 50 wood and find 3 types of specific bugs so you are now running around like chicken without head around map looking for them, and that's the game campers a just annoying detail to it and all the cool spooky stuff appears mostly cosmetic they appear at the same spots every night

Had potential to be really good, the story is decent and the gameplay is pretty fun, but there's so many bugs that'll never be fixed since the game was seemingly abandoned by the devs. Not worth picking up unless you can find it for like $4. -Teleport fires don't work, game crashes, tasks on clipboard resetting at the end of the week, etc.

abandoned by developers....

[h1]1.0 Is Out[/h1] [hr] [/hr] Played the game before this update and safe to say basically all the bugs that hindered game play are gone! [h3]Notes on the Game[/h3] [*]Looking after the kids is much more manageable now! With the kids having much better AI and not getting themselves stuck. No more kids throwing their items all over the place too, all storage works as it should. [*]Achievements being here now is a big plus; it's fun to have some of the more [i]negative[/i] occurrences reward you with a nice achievement for your profile to soften the blow if a child... let's say they went to a different camp hahaha... [*]Still a big fan of the art style it really suits the vibes of the game. [*]You progress at a suitable pace you don't get things too slowly but you also don't knock everything out in one year (the days camp is set that year) the adjustable day speed is handy to account for needing shorter time for play sessions or needing a little extra to make days not feel like a rush. [*]The music makes me feel really nostalgic for old american summer camps- I am neither american nor have I gone to a summer camp- it's perfect for the game. [hr] [/hr] [h3]All in all if you were interested in picking up the game and hesitated now is a good time to give it a try![/h3] It's a very quirky game with management aspects that aren't super overwhelming which at times is silly, funny and a little bit creepy! Have fun at summer camp!
