About Picontier / ピコンティア
\

"Picontier" is a story of mystery and fascinating events that occur on an island as the main character, who awakens from a long sleep on the magical island, resumes life from scratch and meets many intriguing islanders. It is a ‘slow life RPG’ that unravels and reveals surprising twists.
The hero awakens from a long sleep to find that the appearance of the island is quite different from their memory. Start your life in the town "Magmail" in the center of the island, making your way with help from the caring AI character "Aila".
In your island life you can craft items and weapons; you can also fish in the sea and grow crops on the ranch. Use newly created items and weapons to interact with the inhabitants of the island, and as you get to know each other the conversations will change and you will receive crafting recipes.
Materials are required for crafting, and these are collected both in and out of town. The monsters that appear on the field change between day and night, so check recipes for what you want to make and find the right monsters for the job.
By advancing the main quest the story of the entire island will progress and evolve. You’ll learn about the mysterious substance "Piconium", that exists only on this island, and the strange "black fog" that holds the key to the ‘incident’ - including the mysterious disappearance of Professor Jeda after our hero’s awakening. Experience a wondrous story on a mysterious island, where magical things happen!

I've played so many games like Picontier and finished or at least exhausted myself on them. I'm very easily drawn into cute pixel art and 2d action rpg controls and gathering mechanics. I love running around a colorful little world picking stuff up and handling simple management and repetitive tasks. I will run a game like this into the ground even if I think it's not very good as long as I can get into a comfortable rhythm. I have such low standards for a game like Picontier and yet it fails to reach them. This is a chore game, the point is to be doing lots of tedious menial tasks every single day to satisfy all the little progress bars. The problem is that every single thing the game directs the player to do is annoying and tedious and not very well incentivized by the game mechanics. This is how the game developed for me. The player is encouraged to be giving items to residents regularly so they can give you fetch quests that might result in craft recipes, sometimes these are really important tools that let you do more things, most of the time it's a food recipe that restores 20 hp and require an item you've only managed to find 2 of, or more likely it's just god darn 5 Wilt…6 found this helpful
dev is absolute scumbag, who doesnt even reply to his own games issues, like a gamebreaking issue, that on gamepad you cant press 1 certain button, that you can on keyboard. therefore its unplayable on gamepad. and only with a keyboard (without mouse). very very outdated because of that. wasted almost 15€.1 found this helpful
I don't like that I can't change the controls but other than that I love this game. ; v ; The art style is adorable, the characters are strange, the music is chill, and it's just a very slow, relaxing life/farm sim.1 found this helpful
The pixel art is so gorgeous, the soundtrack also. Everything adds to the game very beautiful retro nuances. Surely a lot of care has been dedicated to this game that took unfortunately very long time to get completed from its beta release. I'm very surprised that the reviews are still few, this game deserves much more recognition! It's a real hidden gem.
love it
A simpler farm/craft title that expands nicely over the course of the game and maintains a very pleasant atmosphere throughout. I enjoyed it so much I even trudged my way through the "max friendship with everyone" achievement which I rarely bother with. It is perhaps a slight bit slow at the starting stage.
