How Long Is Stranded Sails?

Great Concept, Terrible Execution
This review is for the Nintendo Switch version
I love games like Stardew Valley, Rune Factory, and Story of Seasons, and I have always dreamt of a game in that genre revolving around surviving on a desert island. So when I heard about Stranded Sails, my heart skipped a beat. "Was this finally the game?" I thought.
It was not. The game is just the definition of amateur hour, nothing feels polished, the repetitive activities are tedious and far from compelling from a gameplay standpoint. Everything is either mediocre or plain bad. The worst is the stamina management, that is so inept that it requires you to cook meals all the time that are barely keeping you afloat and are terribly obnoxious to produce.
I'm not going to write much more, because this game has already taken far too much of my valuable time. Stay away.
4/10
Didn't make it from the tutorial
I'm sure that there's a very rich capable game that's behind the starting tutorial, but it felt so on rails for too long.
I didn't finish that tutorial and maybe someday will go back to it, but I'm moving on for now.
It's not bad, but I just wasn't in the headspace for what it was offering, so it was bad for me.

Why does sleeping in your bed not save your game and restoring you to a rested state in the morning? I rest prior to closing, and every time I return to the game it is restored to the moment before I rested, in the evening. Clearly the game saves but doesn’t save my rested state. It’s very odd.
Do not buy this game (at least not yet), game breaking issues prevent your progress. I don't understand how some reviews don't mention this. I reached out to the devs on Twitter and they say they are aware of it (which means they were aware before they launched it.)
Im tired of these devs releasing broken games, This happened with My Time At Portia too...
This is coming out in a few days and I'm pretty excited, I should temper my expectations because this is from unproven devs, but it's literally a concept I was trying to find for years. A Harvest Moon/Rune Factory type game where you are stranded on an island.
In this game your ultimate goal is rebuilding your ship and leaving the island, but you have to grow your crops and scavenge stuff to survive and thrive.
As a huge fan of Stardew/Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons/Rune Factory, I am very hopeful and will probably get it immediately on Switch unless it gets horrible reviews.
