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.

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.

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.
