Wow, what can I say? Did I anticipate sinking countless sleepless nights into this game when I bought it? No. This is no ordinary indie game, it's among the best. If you like turn based strategy, resource management and worker placement mechanics, look no further. You will tell yourself "just one more turn" until it's 6am. Here is what I like about it: - The rogue-light elements of the game are LIGHT. I was sick of all the rogue dungeon crawlers that are repetitive and all the same and this is not that type of game. yes, you will play multiple times and unlock memories/new tech before winning a playthrough, but even failed attempts at winning are enjoyable and you get to understand what works and what doesn't after a while (on normal difficulty anyway, I still have not achieved victory in hard mode or harder). - Navigating the game is easy. Everything you gain and lose in the turn you are doing pops up on a very handy side menu, along with all the science you gain, what you are researching and your contribution to domains. There will be popups when you are going to overstock on something, if workers are too hungry or not placed etc...it's just a really good interface. If you have the memory of a goldfish like me and you constantly have a wiki open when playing other games like Stardew Valley or Terraria, fear not! There is a cute little built in wiki in the game! extremely useful to get info on buildings, animals, elders, traits that pips can gain, what season which crops can grow in etc...this significantly cuts down on googling time and gives you more time to enjoy the game. - Each randomly generated map is unique enough to keep you hooked on a new experience while also not being so varied that you have to learn a million new things every time, the pacing strikes a good balance of not throwing too much info at you at one time while also not being stuck by too much complexity and giving up because you feel stupid. The elder characters that you unlock over time also give you more variety while also being playable after you know the basics. - The art style! Everything is so bright and colourful, the pips and animals are just so cute!! I want to live in some of those villages I created! Cons: It freezes on occasion between turns and I had to restart it a few times, but luckily there is an auto save feature and you should be back to the turn you just played when you reopen. I don't know if this glitch varies with what type of PC you have but I have some pretty good hardware so it's not a problem with upgrading. I also recently experienced a bug where not all workers are removed from their post when I use the button to remove all workers from their post, sometimes those posts don't highlight that there is someone working there either. When the village gets big and there is a lot to keep track of, it sucks when you lose a pip or two from not doing what they are supposed to do. With that being said, these bugs are not major enough to take away enjoyment of this game, the dev seems to update the game all the time with new content and minor improvements, including bug squashing. My rating (and I'm not being hyperbolic I swear): [X] Game of a Lifetime [ ] Must Buy [ ] Highly Recommend [ ] Recommend [ ] Meh. [ ] Don’t Recommend [ ] Strongly Don’t Recommend [ ] Do Not Buy [ ] Worst of the Worst Amazing, worth every penny.

Recommended because the game is really awesome and the developer is really cool, up there with Tynan Sylvester. I had an issue with the game and vented about it on the forum and they ended up adding me and talking with me about it and it helped a lot and completely solved it for me basically.

Game is great but freezes constantly on the "work" screen. Looked up the issue and its been happening for 10+months. No fixes yet seems wild and cant find a workaround. Happens constantly even after reloading and losing the day. Really irritating as the game is fun. Hope they figure this out eventually but seeing as its been happening since launch I wont get my hopes up. Edit: My issue was not fixed yet as I just posted this, but the fact that the Dev reached out almost immediately asking for details and wanting to help to fix the issue was awesome. The game really is great and with someone who cares that much im sure it will be successful and im sure my bug will be fixed. Thanks Catman!

Let me paint you a scenario that just happened to me. Its a hot summer evening. My village had just narrowly survived a harsh winter. We constructed a new bakery and mill, everyone is happy and their bellies are full. A few of my villagers decide it would be funny to insult my baker and cause him to hate the rest of them. (This will come up later) A heat wave blows through my town and lights one of my buildings ablaze. Of all the buildings that could have caught alight, it was the village well. This caused me to be unable to put out the blaze which subsequently spread to the rest of my village. Mid-inferno, my baker decides to take revenge on the 4 other villagers that wronged him and murders all 4. The rest of the village burns to the ground with no survivors. I love this game.

Hyper addictive resource management game. Once you get your engines up and running though the game goes really stale. The first third of the game felt challenging and fun, but the last third of the game was mostly just pressing spacebar repeatedly.
