Research Story

Been playing this before, but recently returned and started over. Currently nearing the end of my first summer and I fell in love with it again! There's some stuff that's harder to manage for me - I find creating fertilizer tedious and switching between animal feed bowl recipes is a nuisance - but in general if this game is being approached in a more chill mindset, you'll have a way better time with it than trying to min-max, I think. The pixel art might look less detailed than some competitors', but it is detailed and adorable where it counts imo. Don't let this put you off giving it a try! The price: I think the price tag is reasonable for the content given. I'm not even halfway through but I've been really having a great time and my days are usually busy all throughout. I've only now started to really interact much with the NPCs, too and there's hangout story events to explore as well, which tell you more about the character and feel more interactive than the usual cutscenes. So I'd say the price is justified. Art: I do love the art in this game. At the very first encounter with an NPC I was surprised by the art they chose for them, by now they really grew on me - and…

I am absolutely loving this game!! It adds the perfect amount of challenge and coziness! I just love the unique mechanics of research and requirements for different crops and animals. Truly I feel like this game is so much more balanced than some other cozy games in the same genre where you can break the economy pretty early on. Instead this game really feels immersive and like there is a good pay off for different items without having something so OP that it ruins the advancements. It has been a challenge taking care of my animals everyday and I say that as a compliment to this game. I find myself feeling a lot more immersed and strategizing the best way to take care of them. Initially I saw this game and the art style was out of my comfort zone but as I’ve played it, it has become one of my favorite parts of the game. The in depth mechanics of taking care of animals and farming coupled with the cute simplistic art style makes this game so nicely balanced and not overstimulating. I love it! It’s like goldilocks and I am so glad that I purchased this game. Thank you to everyone who poured so much love and effort into every detail. ❤️

This game has so much content. And all of it is quite good. Despite the smaller map it has so much variety and so much to do. Alternating researching animals, plants and fish, the plants requiring more time, the animals needing to explore and look for them or their behaviours, the fish requiring certain bait. It's such a fun game. The world feels lived in, with the NPCs completing their own research and various NPCs moving in and having their own lives and routines

I had fun filling out the research books!

So far I am liking this game. It took a little while to get used to the mechanics and figure out what all I am supposed to do. There are still a few things I am figuring out for what I need to do to further the story line and complete a few quests but I do like this game.

Awesome game, great for fans of stardew valley and similar games.
