Wild Indigo Ranch

I got 2/3 of the way into the game and really enjoyed it but now encountered a bug that prevents me from getting g any further. The game doesn’t allow you to go back to prior saves so I essentially have no choice but to start the entire game over. Bugs like this are so frustrating and turn an otherwise great game into an incredibly frustrating experience. I looked up a number of supposed fixes and none have worked. This is so frustrating and makes me regret ever having bought it. I’m incredibly mad and disappointed and this complete soured my experience on a game I really enjoyed up until now.

I just want to play the game. I want to farm, gather resources, craft food to give me buffs, and go around exploring and fighting enemies all while leveling up my dude and crafting better items. But I can't because literally every craftable item and workbench is tied behind a tedious building/crafting quest that is spread across half a dozen NPCs. I spend all my time running back and forth, slowly building stuff to unlock mandatory workbenches and items, all while spamming through the unnecessarily lengthy dialogue that does nothing to improve the game. What makes it unplayable is every quest is dependent on completing other quests or unlocking recipes that are only available to buy after completing, you guessed it, other quests. I think this game might get good after 30+ hours when you have most basic stuff unlocked, but I am not going to bother at this point.

I would have given this game a thumbs up if it wasn't for the god awful controls. You get a item bar at the bottom of the screen but you can't scroll with your mouse wheel to any of the items. No you have to click on the numbers 1-9 to activate what you want to use. As a lefty that's a terrible way to play. Closing your inventory, work bench, personal crafting all take different keys, nuts! Total key rebinds for the player would have helped. Finding an item, etc...takes multiple roundabout people you have to contact, items you have to build or find. I'm ok with this but when you cant remember what keys close or open my inventory, etc. its just a chore after 11 hrs. I give up. Wow so close on this one just, i didn't want to give if a negative review but my fellow left handed people beware.

It's an atrocious dialogue simulator, which is unskippable. This is the very first game I am going to refund, who in their right mind thought this was a commercially viable product is beyond me. These people at Funday Games need a wake up call on how they look at their customers

A true survival game that places you in an old, wild west setting. Learn to craft things to benefit yourself and the people you meet. Dying sets you back to your last spawn point with only the items in the bottom row of your backpack, so you don't loose everything, but the stuff you DO "loose" are placed in a backpack at the spot of your death that you can retrieve everything from. I am playing on PC, and did not use a controller, but it may be more fun that way. I will try it out and update at a later time.

It is really a shame how many people have put down this game... i think the creators made it unique with great ideas and a overall great game lots of quest and survival game and its great you get to craft and bump up friendship levels by completeing quests.... people stop being so crytical go play another game!!! this is a cozy game with survival i highly recommend
