An indie automation treasure! Art similar to Terraria, Starbound, Littlewood, and Stardew Valley. Relaxing and satisfying. Perfect for an unwind after a long day. This game has mechanics from similar games and introduces some of its own. There is an over arching story to enjoy with interesting characters and a vast progression system. Only con in my opinion is that the pickup action obnoxiously sounds like keyboard clacking.

Cyber-noir pixel-art detective game? Yes please! Finished my first play-through and found it quite enjoyable. The citizens have many characteristics and the city generation is visually pleasing. The music, sounds, weather, and atmosphere suit the game. The freedom to complete cases by any means is quite amusing. You can also interact with most objects in the game and there is a decent amount of furniture available to customize your pad. Has twitch integration if streaming is your thing. Game is not overly expensive. Even at regular price I feel its worth it. Often on sale. Would recommend.

Cons: If a client dies before you take a case you can still take the call for the meetup but the npc will be "dead" at location and you'll be forced to abandon case. Sometimes npcs are glitched where you cant reach them forcing you to reload. Other times they lock up and you'll have to persuade them to move by any means. The physics on objects intended to stand on can be janky. Give them some weight? The way the homeless sleep in the trailers is demonic. You can't query your entire knowledge pool only the last 30 interactions. Sometimes the cops just kill everyone.

P.S. Added this game to my wish list the first day it showed up on the steam homepage but bought it after watching Insym play. It's fun to watch!

7/10 - Recommending because I'd love this polished. I wouldn't pay over $10 until kinks are worked out. It's charming and nostalgic at its core with the makings of a proper game. Frustrating tutorial, irritating features, bugs, and crashes take away from what could be a great homage to games like Roller Coaster Tycoon.

Pros:
- Lots of Building Options
- Animations Are Smooth
- Calming Music
- Sounds Fit Well
- Good Research Progression
- Price Customization
- Controls Are Familiar

Cons:
- Tutorial is frustrating (Also can't delete Tutorial from saves if you want to restart, delete button does nothing.)
- Buildings lose upgrades if you move them. This is irritating as you unlock various size buildings you'll want to rearrange.
- Some upgrades make no sense. Greasy Slushices? Souvenir Horse Carousel?
- Build 11 Milkshakes for a Challenge? (Yes you can immediately tear down, Preexisting don't count)
- Buggy, Buggy, Buggy. Especially as you expand.
- Game Crashes, Theme park go boom.

A beautiful city builder with unlimited possibilities. Several expansions! Always evolving community pool of assets, maps & mods. Only con is cost of acquiring all official content. Even on sale expect to pay about $200 for all of it. Base game is still highly enjoyable and worth it! You can often find this on sale under $10.

If you're looking for a spooky game to enjoy with your friends, congratulations you found it! Phasmophobia allows you to socialize, and have fun with just the right amount of "bump in the night". Not too scary for the faint of heart, but enough bump to keep even serious ghost groupies entertained. Go from a timid amateur to gutsy paranormal researcher in no time. New players can join in with old pros right off the bat for big gains or ghostly remains. It's all part of the experience! I really enjoy playing this with my friends and I hope you will too!

This game is absolutely charming in its simplicity. Great for when you're out of energy or your primary focus is elsewhere. Cute graphics to boot! What more can I say.

Pros: Game puts an interesting and entertaining spin on death and controversial subjects. If you like games like "Stardew Valley" but want to embrace the dark side then this game is for you. Overall I really enjoyed this game and found myself wasting away hours in between work. There are a number of elements to the game that provide a variety of tasks to complete at any given time. The music and graphics are nostalgic and the storyline is quite comical.
Cons:
-You can't craft quality items in quantities! So tedious. Major turnoff! Just why? This is a must change for me.
-You can't push logs easily sideways so they'll probably litter your map. Also please make sticks craftable.
-You can't sell/drop old equipment. I really don't need this chestplate or sword. Thanks.
So that's my review in a nutshell. I really hope you enjoy this game as much as I did and look forward to any updates & changes the future may bring.

Cons: UI is ok at best. Hitboxes sometimes hard to discern. Constantly buying things I don't mean too (taking my time, and standing directly in front of item resolves this but is tedious). You have to switch things in your inventory to your hotbar and if you rush it, it just doesn't swap. Every recipe is an item you have to put on your hotbar and use. You will get quests that you can't actually complete for quite some time (until you unlock the catalogue).

Pros: Adorable Characters, Fun Graphics, Lighthearted Music. Game is overall relaxing in nature and you can stop at any point, which is really convenient. Lots of blocks available to build with. Lots of flora and fauna. Overall I like this game but find it frustrating at times. Anyone who enjoys games like Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and/or Minecraft would most likely enjoy this game.

Recommended Changes: Purchase quantities and confirmation (outside of catalogue). Learn recipes instantly upon purchase. Quests take into account current progression/resources, you could also add recipes to resolve this. In other words 75% of the storyline would not hinge upon unlocking the catalogue. Consolidate tables. Why can't we just have knives, blender, bowl, etc. Or one table that you can upgrade for kitchen and one for carpentry. Too much bulk!

Stardew Valley is the perfect game to wind down from a rough day of work. Cute characters and graphics, relaxing and enjoyable soundtrack, and a versatile play-style. Time will get away from you. You'll never want to put it down!
