Reminded me of theme hospital in all the right ways. Delightful and charming but also challenging at times1 found this helpful
I got a good feeling about this one1 found this helpful
For an early-access release, this game already has tons of well-developed, playable content. I thoroughly enjoyed playing through the available campaign, and now I’m having just as much fun in free play. My favorite feature is the Item Workshop, where I can create custom decorations and even fully functional furniture.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about this game!
Yea, its pretty good.

The sense of progression that kept me hooked at the beginning slowly faded, and the gameplay started to feel repetitive.

I'd suggest waiting until a few more major updates have been released that add more content, progression, and variety. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on future updates because I believe th…
