“edit: I just realised this game is a creation of just two people!! With that being said I can totally understand why it could be regarded as lucklaster, however I firmly believe it has a long way to go (in a good way!).…”
“SOOO MUCH FUN!! Infinitely more open and free to make things than I thought I would be! I literally have no gripes with this game its cray cray what you can make in this!! There are times that there are frame rate drops…”
“I can decorate here for hours and it's very relaxing, I also appreciate the ambience in this game.”

“102 minutes to reproduce The Old Post Office on The Lizard, Cornwall from RightMove photos; a reasonably complex/interesting building resulting in stunning renders with zero previous experience. Fabulous user interface…”
“Love the aesthetic, and have been looking for years for a castle building game which doesn't involve battles etc to earn materials. I just like building things! Thank you for creating this game!!!”
“Perfect simple game. Beautiful graphics, and the overall atmosphere of the game.”

“Since you can only recommend "Yes" or "No", I give it a "No" for now. I like the concept of the "game" very much and the editor is simple amazing to see in action. It feels like Bob Ross "painting" an impressive diorama…”
“I'll give it a thumbs up due to Tiny Glade's creative style, relaxing build atmosphere, and overall support to the devs. Anybody who can effectively grasp how to build their set pieces – and many have, according to the…”
“Great game would like to see more updates (husbandry, water type, lights, animal types, gardening, etc). So much potential to add depth to the game, but an amazing game none the less.”

“One of the top 3 games available on Steam. Ever. It is so fun to play and so simple. I just wish mods were available. Also if NPC's were in the game doing various things it would be awesome. This will be the best $15.00…”
“a note for TTRPG gamemasters: the game includes a useful top-down camera angle and many time of day options. with a little effort, you could use this as a custom battle map generation tool for all sorts of small-town or…”
“Very cute little game. Absolutely worth the money even if there's not actually that much to it - such a cosy experience to play and, despite the very limited things to play around with, it feels very free and easy to…”

“It's so incredibly repetitive and boring, and with the limitations of the game's architecture and decor items you can't make anything truly unique. It needs much more decor, interiors, and possibly people/creatures…”
“Before you dismiss my critique on account of my short playtime: My overall playtime was actually closer to two and a half hours, it got reset when I reinstalled Tiny Glade on a new hard drive. However; even if I'd only…”

“Game's great it's fun to just make something that looks good, few small issues; -The paint menu sometime goes off screen so i cant access it -The amount of options feels lackluster, maybe allow me to make animals pens so an ability to spawn animals and add variety to them or…”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“I love it. I can hardly call it a game though. I sit around making buildings, placing props in swamp or mountain scenes, rebuilding historical castles and making things up, having so much joy with it. Like having return to childhood state in which stories run free and I can make…”
— a player, Steam review · 27 hrs played“This game reminds me of times where products actually were made for humans by humans. It reduces stress so meaningful and helps with my migraine. For me, this reflects exactly what the current Zeitgeist is craving for: simple inner calm peace and sitting in your cozy room —…”
