Le jeu est génial je l'adore mais je ne comprend rien à l'anglais.. Va-t-il sortir bientôt en français ?? 🥺 »👍 anonymous review · 13 h played« Très bon jeu, dommage qu'il ne sois pas traduit officiellement par les développeurs et seulement en passant par un mod, cela permettrait de pouvoir jouer sur steam deck et les autres plateformes. »👍 anonymous review · 28 h played« Jeu très sympa ! Facile à comprendre, univers mignon et original, on ne voit pas le temps passer une fois qu'on se lance. Je le recommande :) »👍 anonymous review · 41 h played« Un jeu cozy avec des quêtes, du farm, de l'amitié et de la romance, tout ça avec un gros soupçon de surnaturel, je le recommande ! »👍 anonymous review · 35 h played
« Avoid until the developers speed it up. It’s so slow, it’s like walking through treacle. Energy runs out very fast, pick up items on beach then sell….tedious. I expected more for the price. This feels very unfinished. »👎 anonymous review · 9 h played« Toothless, empty, lacking depth, variety, choice. Very linear, main quest only kinda deal. Pass. Not worth it at even 1/6th the price. »👎 anonymous review · 22 h played« I want to love this game so much, but it's very buggy. I've lost hours because the game freezes and I have to close out without saving, losing all progress for that day. This has happened to me multiple times. »👎 anonymous review · 43 h played« Lots of inconvenient UI, annoying characters, lacking soul and satisfying progression, and also buggy cloud saving so now I have to start over multiple days and progress I've made. »👎 anonymous review · 23 h played« As a farm games fan, the game is very cute. I really like how living at night adds this mysterious ambiance. The characters are cute, I can't wait to see what's coming next. Festivals ? Would be nice ! »👍 anonymous review · 32 h played
