Look, I've only played for a short time, but I wanted to share a quick update for Deck users. This game runs brilliantly on the Deck. Very surprised, as I've recently tried a few cozyish games like Lou's Lagoon and Forever Skies, which ran like crap.

I really like this game. Yes I can think of improvements, but I am hooked.

It's so fun! Very cozy and you can play at your own pace - no worries about passing out and losing items, or missing out on opportunities because you don't check in every single morning. There's some stuff that I hope they'll fix up before full release - navigation is a little bit wonky and some items are really hard to track down - but overall, it's keeping me happily distracted play after play.
