This sounds dismissive, but the best way I know how to describe it is "Stardew Valley if it was morbid and slightly less intuitive". It wears its inspiration on its sleeve but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.


It's really fun having to plan to unlock stuff on the technology trees that unlocks something else that unlocks something else in this big chain. For me personally, the biggest issue is slightly unintuitive decisions like locking the blue exp orbs behind a story event or having to put logs in this specific bin to use them even though you don't need to do that with other resources. But those are relatively small complaints that are fixed by putting enough time into it or maybe not being as dumb as me :^)


It's charm definitely comes from its morbidness and I think that means, in contrast to Stardew Valley, it's not for everyone. I do think most people who find horror movies fun would enjoy this, though.
