“This game is so much fun. It is like stardew valley if there was story progression.”
“So far so good. I like that you can totally customize the mechanics of the game. You can turn things off that you don't want to deal with taxes death character aging energy and hunger to name a few. I turned a few off…”
“One thing I like about this game is how each character has a personality based on hobbies, where they live, where they work, and just who they are. This is also reflected in their dialog, so make sure to talk to…”

“I've read a bunch of comments on this game about how flat the characters are and I honestly have to agree I think they should fix that. HOWEVER, I am not saying this is a bad game. I think in a world where Nintendo is…”
