“(The time should be 2hrs+ or so higher... My internet was out.) The game is now completed. Ending. Then Epilogue. Then Wedding. <-- That one isn't really an ending, but that's how I wanted it to end!!! Despite me not…”
“This was super cute and cozy. It's really worth it to get all the date endings and choose someone to marry--the developer put a huge amount of effort into these scenes and that really made the game, imo. The premise is…”

“This is such a charming farming sim! Not nearly as massive as certain other games in the genre, but honestly, it's part of the charm and refreshing. There's quick relatively easy to put together teleports around the…”
“Stardew coded but different enough that it's not the exact same game. V cute and fun, 10/10 would recommend.”
“a very fun little game! Very cozy, but with enough sass to make me laugh at times. I think its very reasonably priced around $10. The scope is fairly small, but the art direction for character portraits and game play…”

“I finished this game 100% in two days. I didn’t use any wiki at all. Stardew Valley is such a dominant game that anything that comes after it will inevitably resemble it in some way. Did I enjoy this game? Absolutely.…”
“Such a great game!!! finished everything. would love more!!”
“I really enjoyed this game! Characters are quirky, story is funny, shorter game so didn't feel like it dragged on. I would defiantly recommend especially at the price point.”

“I think the storyline and quests are interesting and keep you going. It's accessible and you don't have to try too too hard to grind for anything. There aren't any seasons for crops or specific gifts that people don't…”

“a refreshing take on the farming sim genre. i enjoyed the quests and mini games. the characters and their cutscenes were also very cute. however, the story is very linear, so it's not as replayable as other farming…”
“Great adventure/farming sim hybrid. Excellent visuals and sountrack, surprisingly well written dialogue, the characters are all great and the date scenes were really lovely. The loop functions well and you can afford to…”

“Pixel graphics. Relationships. Quests. In-Game Events. Mini-games (that are actually fun?!). Farming. RPG elements. Super secret Extra-Terrestrial gameplay? Okay- blown away. Only played an hour after coming home from my nightshift (had to cut the game sesh early for some…”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“This game is something special! The sprites are adorable and the art style is really cute and well done. It may look like another farming clone but its not! It is delightful and the story is unique and the game play is tailored towards interactivity instead of being grindy. I…”
— a player, Steam review · 26 hrs played“I bought Shinehill expecting to refund it. Several times during the first hour, I nearly did. Then it made me genuinely startle and laugh, and somehow three hours disappeared. This is not Stardew Valley, and that is probably the best thing about it. It’s smaller, tighter,…”
