The Good

The Bad
- The first quest you get is to meet everyone. You can't progress until you've managed to track down all 23 residents.
- Some really clunky paths where you have to go a long way around.
- No "easy" tasks to quickly get a feel that you're doing something.
- Intro takes forever.
- Conversations can't be set to instantly show.
- Lots of loading screens that take just a bit too long.
- The plots of your farm aren't on the same screen as the rest.
- You have to open doors manually. Constantly.
The Ugly
- Bad menus. Of course.
- Lacks the charm and complexity of Stardew Valley.
- Saving can only be done in your house.
- You have to manually sprint and this drains energy which is used for activities. When it's empty you pass out. Your alternative is crawling along the map.
- The entire farm is built up from the start! Wtf?! Who wants that?
- I met a young-looking teenager and immediately knew this was a marriage candidate. Ugh.
Conclusion
My actual job is more enjoyable than this and it pays.
