I sort of wish there was sort of a neutral review for games like this. The art style is beautiful and I'm really interested in the game play, I think there is a lot that can be done here My biggest issue is probably with the lack of direction. I got really frustrated at the beginning because I couldn't work out how to create a saw. The game simply tells me to make some planks and blocks and to check the recipe in the menu. It makes it hard to know where to go. I would love to play more, and I'm really happy with the recent updates fixing the text, because that did drive me insane! I think there is a lot of promise in this game and I think a little more of a tutorial at the beginning would definitely help I'm going to check that I recommend the game for now, because I don't think this is something people should avoid playing, but I definitely think there could be a lot of improvements for an easier play through

User Reviews
While the game shows some promise it has a horrible control interface and needlessly awkward interactions. I don't need to be told all the information about the quest (again) when I want to turn in the items, putting items into the shipping bin one by one is irritating and whoever decided that coal and iron should be stored in the refrigerator has some serious issues.
This is a nice homage to harvest moon with a fun cooking system added to give you ways to make money and unlock in-game prizes. The soundtrack is phenomenal, with all tracks being named and credited in-game, and an in-game music player accessible from the menu. I was able to 100% complete the game in about 15 hours (Steam didn't record the first bit of my playtime.) This equated to just shy of 6 seasons of in-game time, collecting/making all recipes, and getting the official roll-credits ending. Familiar concept, relaxing gameplay and lovely execution that didn't outstay its welcome :)
