“Not gonna lie, I'm a sucker for collectathon games. This is one of the most fun, cozy, story-focused games I've played in a long time. Parts could feel like a grind, sure. However, the music is such a bop to listen to…”

“A nice relaxing little game. Felt a little like "Fetch Quest: The Game" but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The story also felt like a bit of an anti-climax. It may sound like I didn't enjoy the game, but I did. It…”

“Cute and charming, but it never stops putting me to work. This feels less like a cozy witch fantasy and more like a constant grind of gathering ingredients. XD”
— a player, Steam review · 11 hrs played“basically me running around collecting random stuff like a forest goblin. Super chill and oddly satisfying if you like crafting loops.”
— a player, Steam review · 21 hrs played“If you don't like constant fetch quests, this isn't the game for you, but if you do, this is the game for you. Works well on Steam Deck.”
