A New Leaf: Memories

Backed this as a kickstarter in 2021. Been waiting for a long time for this game to reach a completion point, and I still checked in here and there. At this point though: no updates or response in discord and no updates on the game in a long time, and I'm pretty sure this game has been abandoned. Very sad and disappointed. I think it had a lot of promise. Add to that, zero of the rewards I paid for in to get in the game. I was really looking forward to the kind of aesthetic I saw for this kind of game but this left a bad taste in my mouth.

Game is abandoned don't waste your time. Its 2026 and last update was in June 2024.

I was yet another KS backer...and I really feel, well, scammed. It's a fairly empty, clunky mess with nothing in it that we were promised. Don't waste your money, time or sanity for this unfortunate, and likely forever unfinished and unpolished "game".

This game is so not ready. It shouldn't even be an early access in my opinion. Besides it's been an early access for years now they really need to fix basically everything as you can see I've barely been able to play it because it just will not work. I would refund it had I known refunding things was possible when I purchased it a year or so ago. But I was relatively new to online games and I didn't really know you could do that yet you live and you learn I guess. If anything I'm happy that I got it at a sale price and didn't pay full price for this mess. The only reason I haven't just outright deleted it from my library as I'm hoping that maybe although it might be a snowball's chance in hell at this point that it gets to turn around. It could be great if they put the effort in.

A New Leaf: Memories is a cozy life-simulation game that blends farming, exploration, and light narrative mystery into a slow-paced experience centered on rebuilding both a home and a sense of identity. The game opens with the player arriving on Omoide Island suffering from complete memory loss, a framing device that quietly motivates every system in the game. Rather than pushing a dramatic storyline, this premise gives emotional context to everyday activities, making even simple routines like planting crops or meeting villagers feel like steps toward rediscovering who you are and where you belong. At its core, the game leans heavily into familiar farming and life-sim foundations. You’re given land to cultivate and the freedom to shape it according to your preferences, growing crops, raising animals, and expanding your homestead over time. The mechanics are intentionally forgiving, with no harsh penalties for inefficiency or missed days, allowing players to move at their own rhythm. This relaxed structure reinforces the game’s cozy identity, encouraging experimentation and personal expression rather than optimization or pressure. Farming, animal care, and harvesting are all design…
