A fun little game, simple & relaxing.

Maybe a little too simplistic, it often feels more like a puzzle game than building a town.

But definitely worth it's low price!

Edit: Typo

I bought this game based on the high recommendations of several streamers/youtubers lauding its great narrative and big exploration space, calling it addictingly good. However, the game turned out for me to devolve pretty fast into highly repetitive timer-babysitting while waiting for the right RNG event before the timer of the other RNG event you waited for runs out.
The narrative and exploration elements are somewhat interesting, but not enough to carry this game, and too rare and most of all too RNG-dependendent to keep the interest up, especially since "exploring the game" and "maintaining your routines" work against each other, and the latter one is required to have done after a short while in the game. That way, the game effectively teaches you *not* to do the thing that makes it interesting in the first place.
The mechanical layer of this game is, while using and interesting an innovative approach, very shallow and rather underwhelming. Another proof that "innovative" is sadly no guarantee for "good".

TL;DR: Cool idea, nice experiment, failed execution
