« AI machine translation slop. Had to close it instantly cause it felt like a malware bait. Poorly ported to PC (Touch screen button on the game screen). Not recommeded. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« Hardly I can recommend this game to anyone, English in the game seems like machine-made translation. Please hire some in-house translator in your dev team. But so far the game have a lot of potential, and it needs to be polished a lot. »👎 anonymous review · 12 h played« Cute game but aside from the gacha element you have inventory being bloated by random junk because the game encourages collecting through exploration without explaining what's worth keeping and what's not so exploration feels punishing. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« can't login into google, can't login into steam, bye bye this game. »👎 anonymous review · 3 h played« wouldn't recommend until a few more updates, still stuck in sign-in loop, tried to tab out and back in to the game while leaving the sign in tab open, tried verifying files, uninstall/install, nothing. works fine on mobile tho »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« i found the fullscreen its alt+ enter the game is also good i love the graphics »👍 anonymous review · 1 h played
