I'm finding this game absolutely delightful! I knew it was going to give me cute animals, cooking and decorating, but I wasn't aware it was also going to have magic!

I absolutely adored this sweet and cozy game. Some of the glitchy parts made it difficult to stay immersed in the world but once I got used to it I had no problem staying in this magical world and just loved the journey from beginning to end. This game is everything I look for in my gaming experience. It's a bit of a niche market but it is definitely 100% my niche. I will revisit this world anytime I just need a little serotonin boost. If this game looks like it fits your vibe then I definitely highly recommend checking it out!

This game is INCREDIBLY cute and relaxing, and I have a lot of cute pictures from playing this weekend (and a few are below).

I basically hit a game-breaking glitch last night when I was playing, though, so I can't even play anymore unless I start a new file. [Giant cat carried me off into what was supposed to be the last unlockable area of the island. Instead, it took me into the water surrounding the island while credits rolled, dropped me, got its head stuck in a cliff, and I am permanently glitched off of the island. I can swim around the perimeter of the map but can't go ashore. And I had saved when I first landed in the water, so I'm fucked. :c ]

Gonna give it a while and let them put out some more fixes before I go back to it. Sad, though, because I was enjoying it.

Anyway, some things to note. Before this glitch screwed me, I had issues with three of my active quests. They were the "find these seven rabbits and put them in this pen" sort. For two of them, I found all but one of the animals. All in one small area, no final one anywhere. I turned it off for the night, and the progress on the quests was saved, but the other rabbits were gone from the pen, and the dapper pigeons that I needed to find were no longer walking around when I started it up the next day. So I could never finish those. The third was finding three capybaras in the mountain area, but there weren't any anywhere except for the three that are walking around the onsen.

Other than that, the only kinda laggy part is when you try to place furniture in your cafe. The game lags and stutters pretty badly, but otherwise runs smoothly.

The customization options are great. You can edit your character at any time, and any piece of clothing, accessories, etc., can be any color that you want. The potions that you buy (like to get my hair looking all cosmic, below) are unlimited, so you can reuse them anytime. Good thing, too, because every time I started up the game, my hair was back to what I set it at during character creation.

Cute pictures below!
