4/10 nice little relaxing free game its got some bugs and grammatical errors2 found this helpful
This is an extremely simple game with point and click interface. You can easily accomplish everything in the game in about an hour and a half. Its a nice, idle, brain check out with some limited replay-ability for the purpose of setting up different aesthetics in your library. There was one discordant moment during a mini-game where it prompts you to type "F!@# the police" which I did not care for.1 found this helpful
it's clunky and has confusing requirements to progress, built in to a fully linear plot. so, of course, i got stuck. it's otherwise meh. obviously i can't leave a good review here, sorry.1 found this helpful
Pretty fun and quirky little game. Some confusion initially, but I enjoyed it overall.
It's a fine game with some janky-ness. The tab with a heart and smile plus the calendar tab never showed me anything for some reason. Some English lines seemed a little strange, perhaps because the developers are German, I believe. The story progression also felt really weird. I enjoyed myself enough though. The animals were charming
It's so fun. I just wish it were longer. Enjoyed the challenges to create postcards and customize the lighthouse in specific ways... but there needs to be more of them! I would gladly pay for DLC or sequel that expands the scope of the game.
