Discover the gripping story of Lonesome’s origins and learn about Wes' secret past.
Long ago, in old Ubhora, there was a tower similar to the very one recently sighted by Wes. One day, that tower had mysteriously disappeared - taking every home with it. Villagers often attributed this vanishing to The Cult, a group of wizards who wanted to control the world by summoning dark, unknown powers. Of course, this didn’t end up quite as they had planned.
Many years later, Lonesome Village was founded on the same ground, and people flocked from all over the world to live there. Everything was well for a while, until the people of Lonesome soon discovered that the village wanted to remain alone. But of course, that’s where you come in.
There’s so much to be done, let’s just hope The Cult doesn’t come back to stir up any trouble while you’re working…

I thought I would love Lonesome Village since it looks like a mix between LoZ and Animal Crossing, plus I've enjoyed some of this developer's other work. Unfortunately, the cozy atmosphere I expected was quickly ruined by annoying, tedious gameplay and lifelessly bland NPCs. I would have instantly refunded if I didn't buy it way before I actually started playing. Doing anything in this game is frustrating, with limited backpack space and no way to upgrade. You can eventually "fast" travel, which *should* be convenient, but there is honestly nothing fast about this game. Every animation is long, slow, and unskipable. This isn't even the worst part of the game though. I think the fact the dev decided to make you manually equip items from your backpack beats everything by far. There aren't shortcut keys for items, so you have to go into your backpack and click an item to have it show in the equipped item slot. There are a ton of things like this that make the gameplay annoying, for example, trying to open your backpack or notebook next to an NPC triggering dialogue instead or doing what you wanted to do. Farming more than a few things at a time is awful-- We have a rain song, but have to water every plant individually with a watering can instead? Why? Lonesome Village is riddled with issues like this and it makes playing not fun in the least. As far as gameplay goes, all the puzzles are either insanely simple, or you don't really know what you did to solve them, you just clicked around and tried different things because who cares at this point?? The boss fight at the end is literally doing a series (I think it was five??) of the same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ puzzles we had to suffer through except with a time limit for whatever reason, lol. There are some of them that actually take a little time and then for some reason, a game of simon says with literally just three symbols to memorize? Okay?? Yeah, there is no rhyme or reason in deciding the difficulty of each puzzle and it makes the ending seem poorly planned, but then again, it probably was. The other main gameplay feature aside from puzzles is doing fetch quests, which is the worst, especially because there's no quest log or way to track what items you're supposed to be getting to whichever NPCs. I don't know why the map (which actually shows where the NPCs are and if they have quests for you) can't have this information by clicking on characters. The price of this game is insane for what you're getting. Do not buy this garbage at full price, please. Do not pay the dev for a guidebook that probably gives you clues and direction that SHOULD have been included in the game in the first place, but this game explains nothing to you. Such a disappointing experience overall, even worse if you're trying to get all the achievements and need to grind to make sure you get all the things needed for quests. :T

The definition of tedious. The farming is probably the worst I've ever seen in a game. Even the fast travel is frustratingly slow. Most of your time is spent doing fetch quests but the only way to check what you need to get is to go back and ask the character who requested it. The roll is mapped to F on PC so you have to do finger yoga if you want to roll right. No way to re-map controls either. So many things like this. It truly is 'Death by a thousand cuts'. The graphics are cute and there's definitely heart here, but it'll take a certain kinda stubbornness to get through this.
Puzzles for toddlers 101. Honestly, I was already skeptical when the first 10+ minutes of the game was minimal interaction with an NPC explaining the [b]most basic[/b] facts to you. Like, maybe if you've never played a video game before... but yikes. It was like beating me over the head as a tutorial. And the rest of the writing is [i]not[/i] any better. You free villagers from the tower and they're all like, "Huh, that was weird. Well, I'm going home now." Which is incredibly underwhelming. The idea of building the town back up sounded cool, but there isn't really anything to it. Never mind the pickiness of some of the mechanics. You need to get a specific object to unlock the next level. Your NPC guide remembers "seeing it on top of the fountain". Another NPC next to the fountain helpfully wonders aloud that the fountain might work again if it rains. Lo and behold, you learn a rain song. But unless you stand [b]exactly in the right spot to play the song[/b], marked by a decorative plack, nothing happens. Except an unskippable animation. Give me a break. And it all seems to be like this. Despite the style, there's no charm. It's all just so flat and lifeless. And the puzzles aren't even that good. Yeah, I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this one.
An obvious attempt at a cross between Stardew and Tunic, although it lacks depth in certain elements to really be comparable. At times it feels like a very guided or even forced experience. You always have just a very limited set of paths to move forward with the game. The puzzles are mostly unoriginal and more for teenagers than adults looking for a cozy game. The crafting, item handling is clunky with controller. Cutscenes and conversations feel slow and repetitious. Animations like digging are slow which makes gardening tedious. Some misc things; when you make it rain, crops don't get watered so you're stuck in the same lengthy animation 20+ times. The watering animation has no water so you just see a watering can moving with sound. The music and art are nice but at the same time feel generic. So although I was enthusiastic at first, it didn't meet my expecations. Don't spend more than a few bucks on it.
Don't get me wrong, I do actually like this game but there's just a lot of QoL issues that come up that tip the scales in favor of the 'I probably wouldn't recommend this game' camp, which really sucks bc w a bit more polish, this would be a fantastic little game! The characters are cute and the art style is so fun but so many of the little issues add up into being one big issue that doesn't feel all that worth it in a way. For example, things like the farming just feel so slow, and when you get access to fast travel, you have to sit through the animation of the game playing the song you've just input, then you have to watch your character play the instrument, then you watch another cutscene of the wind blowing, and THEN you have to watch the animation of the rope dropping down from the basket. That's four things you have to sit through, just to change screen when you could have easily combo'd a few of those into one short cutscene If you have patience and grace for slow systems etc, then yes this game is great, if you don't, then maybe reconsider getting this.
I am sure this game is great on the switch but on the PC it is absolutely terrible. No explanations of what keys do what, no rebinding and being given instructions without any context. Supported by slow graphics and transitions, unskipable cut scenes, forced movement and a tutorial made for someone who has never ever played any sort of game before. I backed this on kickstarter as it looked good but now I have finally got round to playing it I find it extremely patronising and poorly made for PC. Looks like Legend of Zelda mixed with animal crossing and stardew valley...plays like a powerpoint mixed with a car crash.
I think this game would perform the best if marketed to children. It's cute, cozy, and doesn't rush you. I would have returned this game after about 30 minutes if I didn't buy this long before I played it... but it's not unbearable. I keep playing, waiting to get "hooked" like I usually do with these kinds of games and it just... never happened. Now I'm just on a grim mission to finish it so I can uninstall it. I would buy this game at $5, but definitely not $10 or full price. What you see in the first 30 minutes of gameplay is pretty much what you get. There are several quality of life issues and the plot is lacking. The game REALLY holds your hand with unskippable cutscenes, long animations, and a fairy that comes out of a mirror to tell you something you already figured out 30 seconds ago, if not 5 minutes ago. Quests have to be based off of memory (no list to help you keep track if you're a quest collector like me, though the game forces you to stay on pace with only a handful of quests you can do at a time), and you have to go through an NPC's dialogue from start to finish EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. you talk to them. Even if you just wanted a reminder of what they wanted you to fetch. There's no way to quick change (at least not right now) through your growing assortment of tools, and it feels like way too many button presses (playing on steam deck) to access the map or relationships levels? that you have with your villagers. I'm nitpicking, but you get the point. The NPCs all feel like a means to an end without much depth to them outside of their jobs. It's hard to feel invested. The main reason to advance the plot/story is repetitive and quite frankly, boring, after the first 5 fetch quests and tower levels. The more "challenging" levels are just longer and maybe have a timed animation that you are forced to wait for to complete the puzzle. Granted, I'm only on Chapter 2 so I could be missing something grand but I'm not holding my breath. TL;DR: story/plot is bare bones, puzzles + quests are boring/repetitive, QoL features could be added, this game is starting to look like a DNF
100% the game by giving a lesbian couple an engagement ring... on Pride Month (but for real, good story and cute graphics, pretty easy controls, tons of cute animal people. 10/10)
Overall I liked it and think it's worth a play if you're looking for something easy and charming. Like the charm and puzzles were enough to keep me progressing and outdoes the confusing decisions I see in other elements. I honestly would love to see a harder version of this game. Maybe with no dialogue? I think it would have been even more charming if they communicated through the icon talk bubbles only. But if you're looking for puzzles on the level of of Zelda or harder, this will disappoint you. If you're looking for a farming sim, turn back. Farming was the one thing that got under my skin and I actively wanted to avoid it as much as possible. I cannot fathom what the devs were thinking with making the farm sim elements THAT slow. The fairy should just be axed. There's 0 reason to handhold that hard even if this was aimed at elementary kids. The menu layout is a mess. Like I can name a lot more things I want to be better, but they're all little ticks that just didn't outdo my enjoyment of doing puzzles to go up a tower or traversing the map and meeting characters. I would rate it like a 6/10 on that kind of system.
Yeeeaaaah. I'm glad I only paid a few bucks for a key. It has that cheap mobile port feel to it (The UI even blatantly does that). Movement speed is too low, puzzles are - from what I've seen so far - not enjoyable. And everything takes longer than it needs to.
