this game... is odd.
on one hand, i can't stop playing it. it's really good, and i enjoy the systems. on the other, there's obvious flaws with the game that are overshadowed by the solid, core gameplay loop.

i don't know who made this game, i've never heard of them before, other than the fact that they're russian. it shows in some parts of the game, especially in the dialogue, and even though the game is solid, will always be, i can't help but notice the flaws.

this game is clearly made to grind in, and not to have a fantastic experience. the only way i can describe it is from a steam review of this game, which is thinking that "this is stardew valley with a graveyard" at the beginning of the game, but it's not even a third of what stardew is. it's an okay-at-best knockoff with a similar aesthetic and elements that are similar, where everything i liked about stardew valley is almost non-existent in this game.

don't get me wrong, this is a good game. i'd recommend it on a sale or something, but the grinding and the lack of content due to the grind are too big of a downside for me to recommend at full price.
