Château Pluie: The New Cellar Keeper

1) Game is full of ai slop. 2) Tutorial is very confusing. Even, if I found the exact shelf, I couldn't figure out, which spot is correct one for my bottle. 3) If you place and pick up bottle, a different one from your basket is selected, so it's confusing and not easy to select the same bottle. 4) The UI was quickly slapped together and is very confusing. Bottle list takes a lot of screen space and is bothering during gameplay. I would say, the game was done quickly, as the sorting/cleaning games are popular. Maybe the future updates can help, but at the current state I can't recommend it. Feel free to skip this one or get Cellar Keeper if you want to sort some wine.

confusing tutorial, it should leave the controls onscreen somehow. Tells me to look at the clock for playtime .. what clock? And there s no tutorial / explanation of how to place in order! I know nothing about wine and I think even if I did I still wouldn't understand. Positives, I didn't' see any bugs so game runs fine with lots of setting options. Rain and sounds are nice. I don't know about the AI radio O.O wait positives. Looks nice! Glad he had fun making this for his fiancée and I hope she enjoys it! I hope if you actually know about wine you also enjoy this and it isn't just because I am ignorant of this hobby. I hope that I get my refund because I have noi idea what I am doing EVEN with the notebook map thing, which I also do not understand like what the heck is bronze and silbver and why is it "SPAIN" on the map but "Espanol" on the bottles? Yet Argentina loks normal. so confused!

[strike] It is a good game, but it's so bugged with the bottles disappearing. I have 2 bottles left i need, but somehow it duplicated bottles already placed correctly and vanished the ones I actually need to complete the game, so i can't get the ending i was going for. [/strike] Update: Game was fixed thanks to devs quick response. Now that that is taken care of I highly recommend everyone tries this game, it's really cozy to sit with and there are secret stuff to find along the way. Hope to see more from this wonderful dev <3

Very enjoyable game. As a fan of wine; the organization method is a bit different from what i would consider typical. But once you shift your perspective away from that it has a good categorization system thats easy to get a hang of. My only recommendation of something to change would be having the crate the wine goes into follow the camera instead of being in a fixed position relative to the character. It would make seeing which bottles are in there visually a bit easier and cause less motion sickness. The AI generation of some parts is a bit sad but entirely understandable for a project such as this and for its main intention. Obviously if it was actual real world bottles and producers it would be so much better but that would be very difficult getting the rights from all the producers to use them and would require mor prior wine knowledge to sort bottles. Going against the developers intentions. All in all i really enjoy the game and would recommend it to any fans of wine out there who want a game they can spend some time relaxing with.

IT HAS SOME CHARM. Even though the graphics were a little uninviting and the inaccurate cursor selection/placement would piss me off with picking up the wrong bottle especially during the Against the Clock achievement, this game has some charm. Achievement hunting for this game is more detailed than some tidying game which is nice and offers some challenge! If you like tidying with a puzzlingly twist, you're going to appreciate this game simplicity approach to that. I like how when the game came out the developer took feedback and implemented systems for players which is ALWAYS a great sign in my book. If the developer were to make another game, I'd definitely play it considering they probably learned a lot making this game and will apply those skills to a future game.

It's not a bad game. It was satisfying to sort it all. I only have like one thing that confuses me. It's the achievements. I love collecting them but I'm a little stumped. I get what I have to do but at the same time.. I don't? I'm only missing three hidden achievements: A Job Half Done (do I have to actually do half of the cellar correctly and half incorrectly?), Together, but Lost (what is considered a bottle family?? qwq The colors or the names?), All Paths (this one is obvious) and Against the Clock (what time limit????? that one confuses me the most). I'm probably just overthinking it but besides that it was a satisfiying game and it was fun finding the little dolls and coins. 6/10 (also sad that AI was used, I would have totally drawn the labels for you haha)

I have played a few of the games in this genre, definitely one of the better ones I have experienced. Interested to see how it develops.

Nervt langsam.
