I had been craving a survival/crafting game with characters who were appealing and have customisable skills and appearances. Really got hooked into this game fast! Now it has had more updates and more to come I know I'll keep coming back to it! The story is fresh and interesting but not too intensive so it lets you take the lead on when to progress. The crafting and unlockable advancements present a good challenge as you need to find/create resources to make new items. Also you need to find blueprints. This was all part of the fun with the only frustration being, that I could see some upgrades for items that can be reached until you reach the next section of the game and it wasn't clear from the guide that this was the case. I love the changing weather, and night and day cycles and the character needs that add to the interest and challenge. It's a bright and gorgeous game, very relaxing and addictive. It can be a bit repetitive which is to be expected in most games. However, the automation has made repetitive tasks much easier to manage also. If you enjoy survival, crafting, relaxing gorgeous games this is one of the best of it's kind I've played.

This is a very very awesome fun cozy game! After playing Stranded: Alien Dawn, I have been on the lookout for another small-scale colony builder but they just don't exist. Finally, I've found one! I love it to death. Cute with a bit of comedy too. <3

Unfortunately, can't recommend at the moment. Nice concept but insanely slow paced (second speed should be basic). Gathering resources becomes super tedious, dull and annoying. You get introduced to island tugging but remain dozens of hours from being able to do it. Tried liking it but the ratio of time spent/reward is unfortunately, at this stage of development, negative. Hope improvements are made and the game can be enjoyed as not a tedious chore-grind but rather a fun story.

Similar vibe to Don't Starve with a cute island twist. Still in early dev stages but very fun nonetheless if you like a time based, resource gathering survival game.

While I do think the idea behind this is alright , even using familiar concepts of other games to get people interested in the game. The core issue is that it just lacks a reason to keep going , because scouring your initial area for stuff gets dull very quickly , and with the research being so small and no real urgency to chase it down other then a better bed or a bigger raft. I had to stop and refund and wait till they add A LOT more content. Also citing how some people have gotten 100 hours out of the game , tells me all I need to know about a game in EA and how it is stretching basic gameplay loops into extra hours to then cite it in a blog when you are only 4 months in EA.
