Whiskerwood has a huge problem: it hurts too good. After starting my first island's city on normal mode, I quickly was humbled back to get familiar with the mechanics on Easy mode, and I have been obsessed. I blink, and a year in-game has passed, it's winter again, and I have been sedentary for hours. Building a new workshop, welcoming more mice, expanding my farms, and upgrading infrastructure keeps me locked in and excited for each new shipment and tax day. The winters are treacherous, but Spring brings with it a sweetness and satisfying return to flourishing that quickly overpowers the suffering of cold days past. Don't forget to stock up for winter, or your mice will surely starve and die! Otherwise, remember to look around and check the clock if you can--you will get lost in Whiskerwood, as I happily have since pressing New Game.
(Due to the Early Access aspect of Whiskerwood: I would love to be able to mine clay and have potter mice. Different species of mice being included would be fantastic as well--I like my little guys, but I would love if there was some variation based on real mice in different continents. And a florist mouse that uses flowers from a farm dedicated to such would be sick. Their presence could increase overall morale of mice by delivering their product to their homes. Artist mice in general might be at a point in-game that I haven't reached yet, but being able to build easels and have painter mice create paintings while stationed at them, that then can be sold to the Claws, would be amazing as well. And it might be too much, but if you could set the tone of the easel to things that would influence the Claws via plot and exposure to the reality of our Whisker lives would be sick! Each painting being completed could raise morale or influence overall Whisker society on-island too via empowering mice. And this might also be in the future, but I would love having mice assigned as EMTs that run get injured/sick mice on stretchers and run them to the medical triage as a duo.)
