This is a seriously great game. The game play is fun and unique, good artwork, and it's voice acted. I didn't encounter any bugs. A few things I especially liked are: You can change the length of the day at any time. Also, although there aren't any chests, the backpack is unlimited and well organized. And most pleasing of all, the majority of the dialogue with the npc's is very diverse and often changes with the situations. Then, after the main quest is finished the credits roll..... Sit through them! There's almost as much game content and additional quests afterwards as before. I had a lot of fun playing it (180 hours...) and will look forward other games by this dev team.

This game doesn’t get nearly enough recognition! It's a great cozy game! I have about 150 hours into this game (not quite done yet). I absolutely recommend it. Here’s my impression. Pros: It’s unique with the research and journal storyline. The character pics are great. The cut scenes are just numerous and varied enough. The foraging, farming, and gathering creatures is complex enough to make it interesting (different fertilizers and soil for the plants and different pens and food for the critters). There’s mining & some puzzles too, but no combat. The fishing mini game is easy enough. It’s engrossing. I like that the game has a research center and not the typical museum. There’s even an **** npc. That amuses me. You can save anytime, but it also saves when you go to bed! And (*insert drumroll*) you can double the length of the day. The Cons: The pixel characters are really small. If they were only 10% larger it would be easier to tell who is who and the Dev wouldn’t need to change the doorways or buildings. That’s about it for cons. Well, perhaps except for this 1 puzzle and that's it's really hard to gather enough gold for quite a while. I'm looking forward to the full version. Oh, and speaking of the Dev – Miki is very responsive and helpful concerning game issues.
