This game is charming and cute; the art style, character design, and the idea of the gameplay is what drew me in to buy it, plus it was recommended by a friend. Thankfully I got it on sale during the Steam Summer Sale though, because I have yet to see how this game is worth $60-$70??? The pacing is slow but that's not the main issue, the issue is that the game/world feels incomplete. It doesn't run very well; the NPCs bump into you and halt your movement constantly, and the render distance is almost nonexistent. There is no map, not many areas opening up very quickly, no indication on controls or how to unlock certain recipe fragments that are behind obstacles or too high to reach. The characters so far are very one-note, and while the story seems cute it takes hours for it to go anywhere. They also seem to add a new character almost every scene, before I've even gotten to know the last one. I'd like to sit down and really make progress in this game, but the pacing is too slow for me to feel satisfied after even a few hours. This sounds like exactly my type of game on paper, but unfortunately I'm a pretty disappointed. I'll probably continue it because I want to get my money's worth, but I would not recommend buying this game at full price even if you think you'll enjoy it. I hate to be harsh, but this is a completely honest review. I think it has a lot of potential, but in its current state it's definitely not worth the $70 CAD I would have paid if it wasn't on sale.
