« Empty... some free Idl game offer way more experience. The gameplay loop has 0 innovation. You will enjoy your time on this game but you reach the end way too fast, it gives a bitter taste cos you want more but... it's empty. »

« It's just not worth it. you can beat the game in an hour and 100% it in 2 hours. Then there is nothing left to do. Good concept but not enough actual game. »

« Same old "cozy, short incremental" slop that's been making the rounds, wrapped up in a cuter package. If you believe $6 is worth a 3 hour distraction, go ahead. »
