This is good game in a turbulent sea of games published by Playway SA. To be honest, I had about given up on games published by Playway due to all the other games that are garbage, or stay in EA forever with little to no movement (AND try to sell a DLC at that point!), or are literally abandoned in crap state to make a new game, but this is an exception and I am glad that I took the chance on it. I am an indie sim fan and put hundreds of hours into relatively obscure titles, and this is well above many other indie sims, IMO.

What sets this game apart is its unique premise and tone, coupled with an impressive crafting system that particularly shines in areas like cooking. Survival elements are not overdone, offering an added challenge that is still enjoyable. Even activities like farming, fishing, and hunting, often just a click or two and boring in similar titles, manage to hold their own here.

Sure, there are some little bugs, but nothing game breaking so far, and a job well done for a small indie dev team. So far, my primary gripe lies with the accelerated passage of time within the game - a month passing in a couple hours of real time can get overwhelming. However, it adds a layer of strategic depth, forcing players to master time management. Learn to prioritize and multi-task, and don't try to go too big on anything.

Another minor annoyance is the nonsensical mumbling of NPCs, which adds little value and can become grating. Wish I could turn that off like we can for the protagonist.

The game's fair pricing sets it apart from its competitors. At a time when other titles are overpriced and underwhelming, this one stands as a shining example of value for money. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Also bought the DLC, unnecessary for me personally, but as a small token of appreciation for the developers.

The game positively surprises

first impression is negative, graphics like from a nightmare - but there is something positive in this game
so you still want to explore this little village

after 10 hours of gameplay I can say graphics is OK? (which is very strange)

I hope developers will keep going good job

its just good
