I like the general theme of this game. A talking donkey, evil cultists, dark humor, interesting characters. It felt like an adult version of Harvest Moon. If you like excessive grinding and crafting this game will definitely be a good choice. I had a good time playing this.

The early game was quite overwhelming. You do have many options on crafting, farming and skills. You get a sh*tload of tasks and nobody is ever gonna tell you what exactly to do. Getting some oil for the donkeys cart was a real pain for me.
And after playing for 40 hours, more and more flaws were revealed to me. The crafting system is just really tedious and way too detailed to be fun on the long run. The quests, which are mostly fetch quests, are bound to NPCs which only appear on certain days during the game. So prepare for a lot of waiting. During the end game I found myself doing nonsense crafting just to deplete my stamina so I could sleep and fast forward time. Repeating this for almost 2 ingame weeks, just to keep the questline going.

So overall I can respect the work and detail they put into this game. And I love it for the theme of a darker fantasy Harvest Moon. But in the end it could still use some quality of life improvements to be a lot less frustrating.

+ Donkey
+ dark humor
+ working a morgue
+ raising zombies
+ crafting
+ skill trees
+ interesting world and characters

- waiting
- grindfest
- no easy way of time progression
- NPCs bound to certain days
- farming is not satisfying enough
