Both endlessly addicting and charming, with characters that make the town actually feel alive. I have so much praise for this game that the only real downside I can think of is remembering that Haley isn't my wife in real life.

Bars compare each theme with the one mentioned most. We don’t print counts: 200 recent reviews are a sample, not a measure of the game.

Usually this is great for relaxation, chilling, and building/growing on your farm... except the evil lying within the cave. I'd say this is a great recommendation alongside Fields of Mistria.

Really fun at the start and incredible at the middle but it slowly becomes a management simulator where you play to see a number go up rather than having fun- talking as a person who plays faster-paced games though so take the review with a grain of salt
