The Witch of Fern Island

Very difficult to play this game without access to the wiki. There is just too great a variety of resources to keep track of where you will need to go to harvest them, let alone find them. This is part of the game's overall lack of guidance. The game itself does not do a good job of letting you easily sort through pre-requisites for upgrades and buildings; early in-game quests require harvestables from future seasons but doesn't do a good job of telegraphing this fact. Rather frustrating for a cozy game.

Not even worth the sale price! I got through the initial cut scenes and gameplay and then quickly realized I should've believed all the bad reviews.

I'm playing the game after and with watching a guide on youtube, because I have brain damage. There were also alot of negative reviews which made me question whether to buy this game or not. So it was also useful to look to the youtube-video's, to see what kind of game it iwas/is. I have to say that it's an amazing game and very addictiive. You play as a withc who fell of her broom and landed on an island. You get a farmhouse, a rather big one immediately and you'll be helping the locals and yourself to become a better witch and just to get further in the story. You can chose to do your garden daily, butit's not like in other games neccesary to check on it every single in-game day. Watering the flowers and crops is enough for, depending on what you've planted, one ingame day of nót having to water the crops and flowers. There is a well that you can fix and then you can fill your watering can on your farm instead of in front of the house. It's best to water al your plots, otherwise you'll have to use the hoe again to create a new spot for yourself to plant on, but it keeps you busy if you like to do anyway. On youtube, I think it was dated from when it aired in 2024 and there was a patch, I'm sure of it, that you can't make as much food as the youtuber did. She made in the beginning of the game way more drops (that's the ingame currency for money) than I can do now. But nevertheless is it an amazing game, since you can go to the beaches to collect items which can be donated to the museaum and after thatyou can either sell them normally or by crafting items from them. Explore the map is a huge part of the game and you will be at the same places lots of times to come back and collect the items that you want and/or need. You can work on your farm, you can work on quests and so much more! There's never a dull moment, at least not for me, since I ofcourse watch youtube in the meantime aswell. But i'm starting to learn how to navigate on the map a bit, so it's been getting a litlle bit more easy for me to play it. The only thing that doesn't work is handing in the quests you pick up froim the messenger board, which is a shame, because you can make lots of drops with those extra quests. Or I'm doing something wrong, but I tried two of them and I couldn't hand in both of them, yet I had the requird items. I might make a post about it if it really slows down the progress in the game. But for now it's not a very big deal, but I can imagine that people who play it can be disappointed by this. I myself am that aswell. I dó recommend buying this game, especially if you wishlisted this game and the Summer-sale is going on or the game is on sale itself. It's worth the entire price in my honest opinion, but I'm glad I've bought it with a discount. You can change your hair color and chose different hair-styles for a small fee at the barber shop, which is very nice, because I myself didn't neccesarily wanted to look like a witch. The dlc is very usefull, because it not only gives you two outfits, it also gives you (the white set) a lot of furniture in which you can put items, which you will be needing for sure. Because there's an overflow of collectables in this game., such as a lot of cooking supplies, weeds that can be I believe at least 3 different items and once you've bought the sickle, you have a chance on getting higher quality items so you need even more storage space. There are lots of flowers and mushrooms to collect aswell, which you'll be needing for crafing, so also for this is the dlc very useful and your house looks also way better, because if you have to buy the items in-game, you need to spent a lot of time grinding items and there is a cooldown on them, so it's then almost impossible to play the game as it should be played. The ingame days are long, you walk very fast from yourself already, but sprinting gives you even more time to farm items and hand in quests. Keep in mind that the stores open at a certain time, so you can walk there and be on time for when they open. Ofcourse is not every shop close-by, so then I suggest to sprint. I do it as a habit now, but it's not neccesary at all. If you want to reach the most part of the beaches in the beginning of the game, you can swim around the island or better said up north, to go to the next beaches in order for you to collect all the beach items at once. Otherwise you'll have to run over a lot of land to get there. So this might be an easier trick for you! I hope more people buy the game and that the defs decide to update the game again. I know it's been forever since the game aired, but it would be great if the defs made it a bit easier in the beginning to earn drops, like how it was in 2024, before they patched it. The game can be easily played on the highest settings. My game only crashed one time and luckily I hadn't done too much, so it was no big deal. But an auto-save or manual save-option, rather than to go to sleep and finish the day, would be appreciated. I give this game a 9/10. It's a very addictive game, the graphics are amazing, there's lots to do, the game looks amazing if you can play it on the besy settings (I think a patota can handle the settings, there's been no lag or anything mayor for that matter) and the time you get to do quests and farm is really fair. It's also very nice that you can change the way your charcter looks and how the inside of your house is. There is a furniture shop in the game, so if you have enough drops you can chose to buy there if you don't want to spent money on the dlc (the dlc is very cheap when it's on sale tho, which is also a plus!).

I keep coming back to try this game as i do think it has potential however its just too confusing, theres no tracking for NPCS or resources which just for me personally makes it unplayable i spend 90% of the days trying to track NPCS hopefully if this gets fixed it seems like it would be good to play also the very glitchy i play alot of games like this with no problem so not sure why that is.

To start, I should mention that I am a loot goblin and I love farming games. When I first started the game, I was a bit put off by the inventory/hotbar system; almost 50 hours in and I still don't like it but it's not that big of a deal. It's just something to work around and slowly becomes second nature. The pacing of the quests seems a bit off, several of the main quests requiring you to wait a few seasons before you can move forward. Waiting a single season is okay but any more than that and it's annoying. There's plenty to do, at least in the early game, it's not like you're just waiting for the seasons to pass but I wanted the damn cat sooner! Is the game perfect? No. There are quite a few things that could be added or changed to make the game more comfortable but it's enjoyable regardless.

So far I'm loving this game! It's cute, cozy, magical with a talking cat and cool spells and items to learn and collect. I like that you can befriend and level up friendship with other characters as well and that unlocks further things. Same with learning or harvesting new items/materials. I will say unless you save up to buy 'stickers' from the plant store, it's a little hard to remember where certain plants grow but it's a good problem to have in that it's a fairly big map for a small, cozy game and I love that. I also love that there's a good story, there's a bit of mystery but also some fun quests to do. I will say answers are not always obvious. Things pop up once you've accomplished certain goals so it's a little hard to know what you're supposed to do to, for example, learn new recipes that you can't buy from the stores. But I'm figuring it out :) And I'm excited to keep playing!

Bin durch Zufall drauf gestoßen und war aufgrund der negativen Bewertungen etwas skeptisch, was ich aber absolut nicht verstehe. Es ist ein Cozy Game, man beginnt sich langsam in ein Leben als Hexe die gestrandet ist einzugewöhnen, bekommt direkt ein schön grosses Haus etc... Wer solch Spiele des öfteren spielt wird sich schnell eingewöhnen. Speichern tut es wenn man schläft also wie bei den meisten Cozy Games wie Harvest Moon oder Starsand Island. Es ist auf deutsch in den Optionen einstellbar und alles wird einem im Spiel erklärt. Wer die Deluxe mit DLCs kauft hat auch direkt zig Tapeten, Möbel, Kleidung etc zum sofortigen verschönern des Hauses. Frisur etc kann man auch alles in der Stadt ändern. Mir macht es mega viel Spaß und es gibt viel was man erledigen muss. Ich spiele es auf dem Asus Rog Ally Xbox X Handheld und habe keinerlei Probleme mit der Steuerung, läuft auch alles flüssig ohne ruckeln.

Alors c'est vraiment dommage mais vu comment ça ma énervé de fou je vais pas juger le jeu mais juste le menu de configuration qui vraiment est la base des bases.. Dans pleinnnnnnnnnnnn de jeu on a même pas l'option de pouvoir changer ses touches là c'est possible super ! Mais non parce que pour une raison obscur il y'a une seconde colonne de touche secondaire pour la même commande, certain jeu l'ont ok pourquoi pas mais quand c'est **** de touche secondaire sont non modifiable et qu'ils prennent les touches que vous voulez ça revient à ne pas pouvoir modifier ses touches. Surtout que le pire.. c'est que je change mes touches je save super j'ai pu dégager les touches à problème j'appuis sur la touche en question et pouf le jeu se réactualise en mode touche déjà prise alors que non, et se reset toute seul m'empêchant de récupérer la touche A par exemple assigné de base à aller à gauche. Mais le pire dans tout ça, c'est quand je me dit bah c'est pas grave on va faire avec je test en jeux appuyant sur a & q configurer en colonne principale et secondaire et que pouf magie la rotation gauche configurer sur une autre touche vienne s'activer par magie, le q n'étant pas sur la rotation sinon ça aurait mis le message d'erreur de mort "touche déjà prise" Mon seul temps de jeu est dans le menu de configuration qui fait que de bug super nan ? Je vais rajouter une couche avec le mode plein écran "off" jeux toujours en plein écran :'), encore un jeux avec de fausse configs. En l'état pour moi le jeu est injouable, en allant à gauche d'autre touche s'active en même temps ce qui n'est techniquement pas possible à moins qu'il y'ait des bugs sur les config de touche. Je comptais vraiment jouer à ce jeu plusieurs heure mais comme ça c'est mort, il va rejoindre ma liste de jeu sans âme.
