Mysarium: Cozy Lo-fi Terrarium

Just like I said in my demo review, this game is fantastic. I've already put a few hours in and I'll be continuing tonight, but I really want to congratulate the developers and the artist who made all the assets. This game truly manages to relax you, and I'm loving the water terrariums. I hope that one day more aquatic items get added, like corals and other underwater things, because right now that's the part I've enjoyed the most. The recipe/lab side is really nice too! I thought it would be more complex, but reading the riddles and making a couple of attempts, you get a good understanding of what they mean. It's a good change of pace to switch between the relaxing terrarium and the lab, where you have to use your brain a bit more. I really hope this game gets discovered and played by lots of people, because it absolutely deserves it for the price it's being sold at, honestly I'd even pay a bit more for it.

Good App. It feels a niche that was needed and the price point is worthy. I find myself worrying over what my mysarium creation is doing far more than I should... which brings me to my next part - suggestions. Maybe there's a roadmap out there but I don't see it. For this game to really catch on, the mysarium needs to become an entity, a living, organic space, evolving. I'd hope to see a dynamic animation/interaction branch for each asset. The placeables should have a life cycle of their own; the benches grow ivy, the flowers have season, the pond decor float about, the structures wear. I want to see weather patterns within, day cycles, fragile things should break and need tlc... I want to CARE for my terrarium, not just make a stationary painting and watch clouds float by and hope for a creature. Let it breathe. Another thing: the diary. I love the exerpts, they're lovingly and creatively written. I just want to create my own observations as well, or use the diary to log tasks or journal. Please allow the player to have access to a diary. Also, please make the pop-out overlay scalable. It's tiny on my desktop and I still want to see what's going on in detail over my desktop. The color schemes are good, I'd like to see effects later such as blacklight, seasons, or liminal spaces. The music is very nice, I'm hoping for many more tracks in the loop eventually. The assets are decent but I'd hope for eventually much more variety, especially regarding organic things that can take on a personality. Overall, I'm excited about this product and I'll get value out of it. Thank you for making this.
