With a little more work, this could easily have been a classic in the vein of Stardew Valley & Animal Crossing. Unfortunately the lack of polish and content keeps it back a fair bit. Definitely still worth playing if you like this type of games and especially great for the Switch.

3.5/5.

Bought this for PS4 before I got a Switch now wish I had the Switch version instead. Feels like a game I’d play more often on Switch in handheld than in front of my TV.

I've had this game for 3 days and my save file says I'm already 68% of the way through the game. Granted, I've also been playing anytime I have a spare moment, but... I'm still probably going to beat the game in a day or two.

It's absolutely precious however, and I just want it to last forever. I accidentally wound up in town on the day of Halloween (there's seasons...???) and I got to choose between a Vampire Butler or a Witch costume and then ran around getting candy to turn in for goodies. :D

The internet says this game is only 20 hours long.... :( It's fantastic and I want it to last forever. But I can see why it gets bad reviews if it really is that short.

enter image description here Fat kitty I rescued. When you find the cats, they roll onto their back and wave their paws in the air. I die.

Also... I struggle with games where jumping is a core mechanic. Idk what spatial awareness it is that I'm lacking, but I am so horrifically bad at jumping in games. So I appreciate SO MUCH that there is no fall damage in this game. If you fall off a cliff, your char pops up an umbrella and coasts to the ground. HAHA.

You can drown, however. It lets you walk into the ocean and die, respawning back on the beach. I find that baffling. Why not just block it so I can't walk into the water after a certain point. But w/e.

This gets dull...it's pretty aimless, even with the existing story. Very pretty, though. I really should go back and complete it.
