Very cute game about mental health and taking a break. No monsters and it has resources that renew every time you return. Honestly a nice break from 3D games and bugs. 4 and 7 year old kids enjoyed watching it over a weekend. Two achievements required some grinding, nothing too bad if you look up guides.

Ever since I played Garden Story, I've been on the lookout for a worthy successor. This, unfortunately, is not it. And I'm sorry to say it doesn't do anything groundbreaking, either. So why I am recommending it? Somehow, this game actually managed to make me chill for a moment. To just... slow down. And convinced me that in the end, everybody is feeling like they're behind on things. So don't worry. Take a break. It's gonna be fine. Ironically, most of what you do in the game is grinding and breaking down everything, so that's a little against the text of the game; turns out that even that when you set out to make a game about not doing much, games are still activities, therefore something you do. It's quite a paradox; one that can be solved, but Lost Nova doesn't do that. Another reason why I'm recommending it is the music. It's just great, it's varied, it's got a pleasant vibe; and while I didn't care for any of the characters really (if you want to make your game like Garden Story, you have to make the player care for the characters), the cute mushroom person was cute, and the Totally-Not-Elderberry also made me smile. Overall, it's very meh. I don't generally recommend meh games; and yet. There's clearly something here, something that makes me go against my best judgment. Perhaps see for yourself.
