Firefly Village

Nice chill game

The game is really cute. The map is really small, and there's only a handful of NPCs but that's OK, because the days are really short. And, like, this is what the game promises you, a bite-sized experience. It's very simple and a little clunky, although I am enjoying my time so far. It feels like it would be nice to play for a few minutes in the evening or in the morning when I'm sitting in bed trying to fall asleep/wake up.

Really cute, cozy farming sim if you want sth to keep you occupied for about five to seven hours. I am bringing that up, because it is doable to 'beat' the game in that amount of time. At first I had assumed that other areas might be unlocked later, but ... nope. The town really is tiny. There is your farm, a small forest + the mines, the town centre (it doesn't even qualify for that term^^) and a grove. Overall, it is quite relaxing. One has all the time in the world. However, I do find it becomes very repetitive very quickly. Other than that, the characters are alright, if only two-dimensional. There is very little dialogue, barely any background information... (Why is there only one 'proper' adult in the village? What about Tilly's mum?) Super wild that one is just given the farm and the ajoining land, oh, and a house, albeit it a tiny one. I also find it very amusing that you get to keep your microscopic bed after marriage. Where is your spouse even supposed to sleep? On top of you? Under the bed? On a final note: The chat you and your future spouse have right after you proposed ... that's cute. Although it made me sad Tilly doesn't realise she is *the best* girl. (I will die on that hill, yes.)

Surprisingly, I like this game. It's just enough to entertain without being too much. At first I thought it was cheap and lame, to be honest, but after a session with a very demanding game, I needed a break. I still wanted to play a game but didn't want it to feel like a job, which sometimes grindy games can be. After that other game, I felt more appreciative about what Firefly Village is. Just enough. What I didn't like about this little game was the way it doesn't use the mouse. I can't stand that. You have to only use the keyboard for every game interaction. However, I liked using only the interact button for all tool usage. No switching at all. How simplistic in a satisfying way. I recommend this game for a temporary escape from your more demanding cozy games.

So I am currently on Summer 6 (second year). The sessions are 7 days. Your crops from the previous session don't die. You don't need to hoe your crop or plant the seeds one by one (it goes by 9 at a time). There are six citizens and three main areas with one road that leads from your farm to the town, which has three buildings. I enjoyed the game. Clearly, it has limitations. It's totally up to you if you want to play it or not. But I won't be playing anymore if there is no expansion. I mean, add more areas, more citizens, and a museum/collection, and the game could be even better. I still recommend it because it's a cute game and I had fun for ~3hrs for the game.
