The developer describes the game as a "life-sim RPG". Personally, I'd say it is a puzzle game with a story with some actually interesting ideas and surprising ending with some additional things you can do: build houses and decorate the interior, grow plants, fish, cook, make tea (yes, really!) and do quests not related to the story. You can keep playing after you've finished the main story. This is not the kind of game I normally play, but I have to say I was sucked in and couldn't stop playing although I got really frustrated at times (let's just say I am not the best at solving puzzles) and stopped playing for a while. I went back eventually every time though. There is a "main quest" that probably should take something like 25-50 hours depending how fast you play (it took me 50h because I am dumb). Anyway, try it out. You might like it and even if you don't, at least it isn't expensive (there are discounts now and then as well). Recommended!
