i really enjoyed this game for about 6 hours and then stopped.
the smartest thing it does is give you a little level up screen at the end of each day so you have lots of dings to help you feel motivated. i also kind of liked the plot - the hero has vanquished the great evil, the monsters are all gone, and now it's time to rebuild.
buuutttt it lacks polish (no controller support? clunky menus). it should have been about half the length: NPC dialogue starts to repeat heavily, building tiers are resource intensive yet give little benefit in return. the reward curve starts to drag around midgame. it really could use some quality of life features, like wishlists, or pointing out who you still need to talk to each day, or better reminders of when town wishes refresh.
it's not a bad game. it's right up my alley, and i enjoyed the time i spent with it. it just needed to be a bit better in order for me to get to the finish line.
