So this game has its upsides and downsides. Main downside being that the game feels very unpolished and unfinished, especially for the price listed (though it does seem to go on sale pretty often). The main upside being the concept is interesting and the design is generally charming (if a bit rough around the edges).
Tips and facts I learned:
-Each shop and delivery pickup has a separate inventory that resets (I believe at midnight)
-The furniture (couch icon) and cosmetic (witch hat) shops open at 9am and seem to close at 10pm (not sure about the closing time)
-When trying to decorate the walls in 'your' house, the wall selected is based on where the camera is facing, and you can't swap walls without selecting the floor (meaning shelves and other wall stuff have to be stored and replaced to move between walls)
-Rivers are super good for moving fast (to the point I've often had the fov zoom out enough to clip through the ground)
-Please enable "reduce motion" in settings, it makes seeing whats happening when moving so much easier (and thus helps reduce crashes)
-If you use the jump right before hitting the ground when dive bombing it will set you up to fly along the ground much faster than you can in the air, rather than just bouncing you upwards
Issues I had:
-There is no such thing as fine control in this game, you can either move at a snails pace or top speed (both of which are hard to control and have bugs)
-Flying has issues. Between the modes there's some form of ground movement mode, which is kind of hard to activate and only lets you move at a snails pace, plus it liked to launch me decently far away at random times and it was annoying to crawl back to the area I was trying to be with the low speed. Then there's the actual flight which has some quirks, namely turning is difficult, especially when you aren't moving too fast like when trying to drop a package off. In fact you can't turn at all without moving forwards at some speed. When I was moving fast my character would sometimes just jerk in a random direction and I have to stop and reorient, losing all speed and other times my package would clip into the floor and while it wouldn't get stuck there, it did slow me down. Finally there's just that there is no inbetween speeds. You can snail crawl or blaze away, and whenever you start moving the acceleration is fast and caps off early so you feel too fast when you want to be slow and too slow when you want to be fast.
-There's very little progression, you're barely limited by anything and can quickly get tons of money and just buy everything, blazing through the short story in only a few in-game days)
-Jumping was both weird to use, especially because of the weird, inconsistent cooldown it had, and annoying since it seemed to instantly slow your forwards speed to around the max you can get just accelerating straight forwards, which is not a lot. Though I might be wrong about it slowing you down and it just lowers the fov for some reason but the issue is that it feels like it does
-The whole food system and foraging felt useless. I literally only gathered food for the races and I only did that much to outweigh the difficulty I had with precise maneuvering from the terrible flight controls
-Maybe this issue was only present on controller, but whenever I was walking around in 'my' house the look controls were inverted (so I would try to look up and look down instead) and the only way to fix it was to go through the painful process of switching my controls every time I entered and left the house. In the end I just didn't bother switching them because I barely ever had to go home
-There's also not much reason to go the new areas, the npcs and scenery are neat but they aren't really unique enough to go out of your way for when you can make money quicker than you can use it anyways
-There's no variety in the gameplay. The little you do aside from delivering packages tends to have unsatisfying, if any, results and doesn't last long at all. Like raising friendship and talking to the npcs is cool, but you barely do any of it and nothing comes out of it aside from the few short lines you get when dropping the package off. Stuff like decorating the house is incredibly tedious (constantly running shop to shop trying to find any nice decorations and only being able to buy 1 maybe 2 at a time due to the limited quantity in shops) and is kind of disappointing even once you're finished since a lot of the furnishings just don't look good in your one room allotment. There isn't even anything decent to use to section off areas of the room since all the floor decorations are stuff like dressers, chairs, and desks which look weird in number and don't tend to fill the space enough
-Shops overall, they weren't really explained (open/close times would've been nice to know), the open/close window felt really restrictive since the day goes by so fast and there really wasn't anything else that got affected by the time of day so it just felt like a random restriction, and the random nature of them was a bit frustrating, especially when added to the minimal variety and low purchase limits.
Overall I enjoyed the game and think it has a lot of potential, it's just early in its development (not even having had two years yet). I look forward to seeing how it turns out in the future. I like the characters and hope we get to interact with them more in the future. The art is endearing and the general concept feels generic in the best way possible. Even though it feels generic it really isn't. Like the only other game I can really think of to compare it to is Totally Reliable Delivery Service (wonderful game btw) and they're really not that similar (though I do hope this game takes some inspiration from the silly fun that game is made of). Would recommend :3
