Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Jul 24 → 0.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

省流:这款游戏的箱子可以(在里面有物品的同时)移动。。。第一次发现的时候简直要叫了。。。大家赶紧买。。。 非常有意思且有创意的种田游戏,和传统的买种子种田不同,这里的作物和农场动物都要靠研究它们在地图上的采集版本或者动物的掉落物来获取 缺点:早期一次只能同时研究三种物品,需要仔细考虑和规划每段时间应该先研究哪几个作物/动物掉落物,不然会很卡进度(下面是我个人觉得比较好的开局研究路线,防剧透慎点) [spoiler] 推荐春1在进行主线的小鸡任务前先把地图上的三种作物:薄荷、紫罗兰、洋甘菊放进研究槽位,在观察两次学会寻找种子的方法后把紫罗兰的研究槽删掉换小鸡掉落的羽毛,速度快的话第一天就可以完成捕捉小鸡的任务。小鸡的推荐性格是社牛,抓两只放在一起,两天就可以提高幸福指数。第一天结束前记得一定要去找木匠西奥对话,第二天邮箱里面拿箱子和箱子配方[/spoiler] [spoiler] 注意!薄荷必须靠水种植,洋甘菊必须远离水边三格,不然会枯萎,很卡后面进度[/spoiler] [spoiler]第二天渔店开放,可以拿鱼竿和5个鱼饵,但是周二渔店老板不营业,钓5条左右的鱼之后就不能钓鱼了。剩下时间要么清农场要么逛逛地图,农场上石头和杂木砍了有虫子,全都留着第三天做鱼饵;地图上白天有猫咪,晚上是狐狸,摸一下可以拿掉落物但是先别急着放进研究槽,在没有足够资金的情况下只会卡格子 [/spoiler] [spoiler]第三天地图上有云莓,只能在多云天气才能种植,当天拿到当天放进研究槽(刚好第一天小鸡任务结束剩下一个空的),拿到种子之后立马种下。晚上4:30渔店营业,买鱼饵配方,前两天的虫子全做鱼饵钓鱼赚钱[/spoiler] [spoiler]第四天薄荷和洋甘菊全都成熟了,连着完成两个研究任务,接着就是等其它作物成熟的当天再把它们放进研究槽当场完成收获任务就行。如果现金有多余的就买野兽围栏(的配方)把狐狸和猫咪也带回家里养起来[/spoiler] [spoiler]宠物性格个人推荐社牛和害羞,不过猫咪的社牛特别难刷(当天全图的宠物性格都是固定的,没法靠sl随机刷,建议先不用强求,越早完成研究任务越好,避免后面越积越多卡格子)[/spoiler]
The game is really very good. The mechanic of learning about the living beings that are part of the ecosystem is great. I also loved being able to invite NPCs to spend time together by choosing the date on the calendar! However there is one thing in the game that I find VERY annoying and time-consuming. Which is crafting items. Especially the creatures’ food, which has to be crafted almost every day. If it were just a single click on the desired food bowl and it was crafted automatically, that would be fine... but you have to click on the food, then drag the bowl and the item, and do this for each type of food bowl (since there are different types). Many times, this crafting mechanic makes me lose patience :'( Aside from this issue with crafting items, I loved almost everything else in the game! There are still things to improve, such as the item crafting system and how to undo tilled soil, but they don’t take away from the game’s overall shine.
I really like this game so far, very cute :)
A really fun an unique addition to the overall "farming sim" genre. With added joy of everything being documented for research! Hooray! I personally find the process of finding new things, unlocking them for research, completing the research, and getting to add it to the records. I am a nerd. All of the animals are really cute, the different kinds of plants with their different growth requirements. (Rip my crops my first summer when I did not use the sun lamp. PSA use the sunlamp) I find it easygoing, and satisfying. A quaint experience.
# 장점 1. 농사, 광산, 연애, 채집, 수집 등 있을 만한 콘텐츠는 대부분 갖춘 무난한 힐링 게임. 2. 귀여운 픽셀 그래픽. 3. NPC들과 이벤트나 데이트가 풋풋하고 귀여움. # 단점 1. 있을 건 다 있지만 전체적으로 2%씩 부족한 느낌임. 예) 낚싯대를 제외한 다른 도구는 골드 등급까지만 업그레이드해도 충분해서, Chroma 단계까지 올릴 필요성을 크게 느끼지 못했음. 2. 음식 픽셀이 전반적으로 맛있어 보이지 않음. 3. NPC이벤트들이 넘 막혀있음. 예를들어 2년차 봄 7일 이후에 이벤트 트리거가능이라고 되있음. 현재 1년차 가을 21일인데...
its diffferent and really fun i like it alont
