I recommend this game with one caveat- buy it on sale. It is genuinely such a cute, enjoyable game with one of the most charming pixel styles I've seen; an amazing soundtrack that I couldn't turn off (which is saying something because I usually play games with the sound off after a while); and a simple, yet meaningful story that makes for a great play while winding down. That is, while you still have content the play. The game is far too short to justify getting it at full price, and there is no endgame to really add to play time unless you just want to start from scratch over again. Once you beat the final boss, there is no reason to continue upgrading your weapons and jars despite that being the rest of the game play loop. It's such a shame because most of the characters you meet have such vibrant personalities (and cute, emotive sprites), I really wanted to spend more time with them. Overall, still a good game. A game that is short doesn't mean it's inherently bad, the fact that I still want more is very telling of how nice the game feels to play. Definitely simple combat wise, but I liked the hats and backpacks you could buy for your character.

super cute game, really really relaxing and great for all players, if you want a challenge there's bosses to fight and quests to complete, and if you aren't too good at fighting or just want a more relaxing experience you can modify the game fully, you can turn off deaths, make time go slower so you have more time in the day to complete things etc, I don't see games that do this often but I really appreciate seeing that it's a feature in this game, I personally play with death turned off because I found the bosses a bit too tricky so it's a really nice feature to have, overall this game is really cute and maybe the most relaxing game I've played, I cannot recommend this game enough

A really cute and fun combo RPG, Exploration, and sim game. It has cute characters and pretty easy to use interface, but you really need a controller to play it. The boss battles are challenging, but not ridiculously hard and it's easy to manipulate your buffs to do certain tasks. The only thing I would criticize is having to collect massive amounts of a resource (namely driftwood) to level up your tools. You have to delve an entire dungeon to get to the resource and you can only get 4-5 per delve. Really frustrating when you need over 30 pieces to get a level up. It's not that the dungeon is hard, it's just tedious that you have to re-open every door every time you delve. I spent about 28 hours getting all the achievements and I could still spend some more time to get all the power ups, etc. But don't think I'll bother. It was enjoyable and on a good sale, you should pick it up if you enjoy these types of game. Edited to add: I tried to play this on the steam deck and it is playable, but for me it was too tiny on that little screen for me to see what I was doing. The pop-ups with resources, etc are small pictures already and putting it on the tiny screen made it virtually impossible for me to see what was needed.
