This game absolutely took me in as soon as I started playing it all those years ago. I was looking for an alternative to things like Animal Crossing, Harvest Moon, etc. Nothing really came close until this gem of a game came out.

At the time of playing I didn't have a great pc as mine had to be retired, so I played mostly on a little laptop that could barely run anything, but somehow this game kept me happy. It's been with me through tough times, good times, and I am so blessed to be able to share and experience this game with friends now.

At its core, it's a simple farming game, taking elements out of your "usual" cozy relaxing games and combining them all up.

♡ The farming is basic but requires maintenance everyday until you can work up to making it autopilot. This doesn't make it bad or a chore though, it's your main premise and way to make money for most of the early game.
♡ The dialogue with the villagers is so wonderful and I adore the stories that each of them come with. When you get a higher relationship level, you get to know them a little more.
♡ The combat is simple but satisfying, number go up.
♡ The range of collectables and achievements is fantastic if you're a person that likes to complete things and go for chivos.
♡ The cozy vibes alone are worth the money.

I have bought this game on multiple platforms and still play it even now. On PC there is so many mods to keep it interesting and fresh, I'll still be playing for a good while longer.
