This is a hard one to not recommend as I would put it as a strong maybe. Do you like cute pixel creatures? Do you like mindless tasks? How about boring villagers that add almost nothing to the game? In all seriousness, most of this game just feels pointless and inconsequential. There is a vague story that is never really fleshed out. The villagers lack personality, and the romance feels tacked on. Completing dungeons really doesn't matter in the long run. Catching lots of spirits is unnecessary. Some of the islands are so far apart and there's so much empty space between them that it makes flying a chore. Upgrading your barn isn't needed; same with putting other tents on other islands. Fishing exists and is only necessary like twice in the whole game. Moonstone Island just tries to do too much without excelling at anything. There are certainly things I liked about the game: the pixel art is fantastic, the music is fine, and the spirits are very cute and well-animated. But this c...

I’ve played about 50 hours and I’m kinda addicted. The game feels like a cozy mix of Pokémon and Stardew Valley - you catch spirits, explore, and the characters are super fun to get to know. Decorating your home is AMAZING (you can go all out), and I just wish there were more ways to customize my character - like new hair colors or outfits, so they feel more like me. My only complaint is that the days fly by way too fast, so I’m always rushing home before bedtime. But honestly? Even with that, I keep telling myself “just one more day" and suddenly hours have passed. Highly recommend if you love cozy games with adventure sprinkled in! :)

Sorry but I would have liked to pick a gender. I don't want to be some maybe male/female critter.

The game seemed great and I would've loved to play it for many hours, but the performance on steam deck is absolutely horrible. And this game should be "verified" on steam deck. That is blatant false advertising, because it stutters heavily from time to time, even in the starting city. After some online research I've found multiple threads where people complained about this exact issue for years and nothing seems to have been done by the developers. That is unacceptable for this kind of low fidelity game. The steam decks hardware doesn't even lift more than a couple of finger, but it stutters like hell. Also, limiting the FPS doesn't help in any way and feels even worse than frequent stuttering. So, this game seems to be great. But I wanted to play it on the deck, which should be a great experience as advertised on the steam page. And that is just not possible.

Trying to do too much at a time, so nothing really shines. Just kinda mediocre with negligible farming, no monster depth (besides type, aesthetics, and passive), and I honestly just... don't click with the card based battle system that relies on reducing armor to do damage, but I have a limited number of cards that reduce armor when they heal the armor back up after they lose a turn (which, sure, I should be wailing on them and doing as much damage as possible but- OOPS, I got a complete hand full of those armor reducing/random skill cards on the turn after I broke their armor already- and I don't get to strategically keep those cards because your hand gets dumped every turn except for cards that have a special trait to not be discarded- Slay the Spire but worse)

I was a bit skeptical at first, but i'm delighted to see that this wasn't an impulse buy! All spirits seem strong, so you don't need one that evolves There's several, more open minded love interests The scenery is lovely, as are the crops and their variety. A lot of replayability as well There are a few issues I have with the game, but they'll likely be fixed with time. There's no flavor text, or unique furniture to the npc's More spirits would be nice, but it's not a massive issue. More ways to adjust the graphics to suit those with eye sensitivities, or a lower ended PC, would be nice as well. Overall, at the very least follow this game if the current factors aren't enough for you. I have no doubt it'll get better.

I got 100+ hours of entertainment for the price of a movie ticket.

Only just got the game and played 6 hours without putting it down. Wow, so much fun. I fully recommend this so far. so many qol improvements that stardew valley and other games don't seem to get right. The game has beautiful pixel art including the character portraits. Addictive game loop that you don't seem to get bored of because there's always something different to do and quests that drive the gameplay. so far it's a 10/10 for me and I really don't see that changing. Amazing little indie game.

I've played more than 65 hours. The more you play, the more interesting things you get. I'm surprised that even though this game isn't played online, the developers are still updating it with new features. I hope there will be more spirits and biomes. 9.8/10

Adorable cosy game! If you like stardew, you would love this game. Think of it as Stardew x Pokemon. Lots of fun elements that get you hooked!
