Lamu

Just WOW... I am pretty open minded and give a lot of games the benefit of the doubt but this one takes the cake. Using Early Access as an excuse to release this game should be a crime. Where should I start? Within 10 minutes I "explored" the entire map (and effectively played the entire game it has to offer)**, first you're clicking around like an idiot trying to figure out what you're even able to do. You start with an axe, a house (that you can only walk into but otherwise can't interact with), a crafting table and a lifeless girl called Mira or whatever who sells you seeds. Click on your axe go to a tree, chop-chop, collect the wood then go to your crafting table. Using your wood and later stone you can craft your tools, a basket (?) which i wasn't able to interact with and a sword. For now, Mira stands there useless to the world until you figure out how to make money to buy seeds. So now nightfall comes, a bat comes squeaking at me so i slash at it haphazardly until it finally dies and boom, coins. Don't bother trying to sleep, you can't and yes, the bats just waltz into your home. You are not safe inside, nor are you safe during crafting mode, buying from Mira and definitel…

Like others have stated...this game is unplayable. Nothing works..no tutorial. When you use the workbench to make a tool (there are only 5 items in the entire game), it either doesn't work as intended, or simply wont work at all. There are no quests or any guide on how to interact with the 1 merchant. You walk up to her and she wants money for seeds. But there is no currency in the game. The inventory doesn't let you move anything around yet there is a huge bag of space. There is a house to go into and when you do go in at night... the enemies follow you in and kill you. Yet there is no way to fight them off, nor is there any way to restore your health. You cant use the storage bin in the house or use the bed in the house. Usually a bed in these types of games...is used to save your progress or restore health/skip the night. The save feature doesn't work either. If you press a button that the game doesn't like, it brings you to the main menu and plays the opening story again, at which point, you lose all progress. This game has red flags all over it. I feel if the developer wants to prove it is not an attempt at taking advantage of players, he will fix it and add the c…

Okay, when they say early access... They mean early access. No dialogue, no direction, 2 screenshots of story. You can't sleep, aren't told to make a sword before night falls, so you don't get killed, etc. Definitely needs waaaay more work before it's worth anything money-wise. Has potential though.

what am I even doing here? the game mechanics are.... icky. they throw you in with an axe and basically say "okay good luck" maybe I'll come back in a year to see how the game has progressed.

"Lamu" has captivated my imagination and my free time since I first booted it up. The game perfectly blends elements of farming simulators, adventure RPGs, creating a unique and engaging experience that stands out in the crowded indie game market.

I know this game is only a few dollars so I can't expect much, but it is not good. There's absolutely no guidance to start off with, so you end up just hitting buttons to try to figure out how to get to your different inventory items, open your inventory, or do anything. Still not sure if there is a way to sleep, as when I headed into the house and hit M (the rug under the bed has an M on it), held M, and clicked on the bed nothing happened. While I was attempting to sleep, one of the bats generated inside the house. There is no indication that you're hitting the monsters until they die. None of the issues mentioned in the early access reviews have been solved. I feel like it's unchanged, and they just claimed it was out of early access.
