Mystopia

The game is very buggy. One of three game modes that is described as present in the game on store page is not available. I can't recommend this game in its current state. The problems I have run into in my 3,5 hours of gameplay: - tiles are clipping with each other - tiles sometimes start to float - the water is bugged and visual artifacts appear after moving the camera - potion cauldron is buggy as hell, there are two menus that showcase ingredients put in it (why?) also sometimes I can't add ingredients in it even if they are in the potion recipe. It is also not possible to empty cauldron, so on one save I just had broken cauldron and couldn't progress potion making - putting items in chests is bugged - they sometimes clip through closed chest and sometimes it is not possible to put items in them even when there is still space in the chest - pentagram shop is bugged and item refresh doesn't work - [b] progress of discovered tiles resets after quitting the game! [/b] - [b] after about 50 minutes of runtime spirits stop appearing (the game becomes unplayable) [/b] - even after restarting game save file is still unplayable, so the game cannot be completed Also the develo…

Game is super unfinished, and super buggy, Paid 10$ for an unplayable bug-filled mess thats missing advertised features. My save file became un-usable with in 10 minutes of opening the game. Game also deletes items when you load your save. Its cute and might be a good game in the future, but it should be considered early access at this point.

Normally I try to be patient with these new low scale cozy games, after all most games being published in the tag atm are early access titles where the creator is still gaining dev experience, but this was not sold as an early access game. As of now writing this review, it's nearly 3 months after the game launched and there are still game breaking bugs, a deceptive description and price on par with a finished game, and no update or word heard from the developer. I even went out of my way to join the game's server to post my feedback and bug reports and the dev's short response to me was the last time he's said a word in that server atm. I understand that people get busy even for nearly 2 months, but maybe I'd be less upset by the silence if this game was accurately advertised and maybe not a whole 10 dollars. The first mode they highlight, the saga mode, is not available at the moment and has zero disclaimers attached that it's not playable. I don't care what your game looks like even if you're posting it in an unfinished state, if you're advertising a game mode that isn't available at the time of posting it online for sale, you are straight up just lying to your playerbase. So …

The reason I put in for a refund and don't recommend is because after reloading my game, an important item (pentagram table) was missing which means players can't progress or delete items and the spirits no longer spawn. Looking at the discussions and reviews, it's been an issue for over three months. I will rebuy if these issues are fixed. While I'm not really a fan of idle games, I liked this one because you can have fun messing with the aesthetics. It's a great game to zone out to when you just want something simple because you have a tired mind (though a better solution to that would be to sleep appropriately!) However, this isn't something I would want to play for hours and hours on end. I would not recommend this to anyone wanting something deep and challenging, if the dev(s?) want to raise that - I think they should add more structure to play by adding more goals and rewards for the goals. One of the things I don't really like, is that there's no real balance for spawning tiles vs objects, forcing you to sell some stuff to the pentagram table and hope that it sells something better back, or waiting a while for new stock. That's when it gets boring. It was an idea of addi…

Wish I had read the reviews. Paid $10 for a game that's not even worth half of that in the state that its in. It feels very bare bones, its buggy and it doesn't really seem like any work is being done on it. I hope in the future there are some updates but at this point I'm not holding my breath.

This game is very cute, pretty addictive- but also insanely buggy. Items will spawn inside of each other or even inside your lantern, making them permanently stuck together, and save files never seem to work properly. Opening a save items are missing, or the screen is just black. I really hope that it gets updated to patch some of the bugs, since I think this has all the makings of a wonderfully addictive little game. The music is wonderful, and the visual style is lovely.
