April 2026

An excellent survival/base building/farming game based on ancient Chinese folklore and Taoist beliefs, much deeper and challenging than it could seem at first glance, but at the same time it's still relaxing, and it's not stressful or too complex. I don't know why but somehow the game reminded me of the first "Okami" game, even if these are two different types of games. I'm happy to hear that the developper will resume updates soon. This game deserves to be better known, and I strongly encourage players who enjoyed it to talk more about this game online, so the developpers can keep working on the game and can hire more staff. They really deserve your support.

Mapped the game to controller, and it still confuses my wife a bit because obviously the visible prompts are still keyboard. Certain controls are mapped to an unnecessary amount of keys, like the teleport totem being G, when it could literally just be any of the other interaction keys. Besides a casual title in desperate need of controller support for a casual couch audience, this is one of my favorite titles so far, but I haven't played much. The graphical style is amazing, the crafting and combat I like. It has a great balance between cozy and challenge. Better than any other similar title I've played. The game seems very thorough and well done, with no glitches or bugs on my end so far yet. It honestly in my opinion is looking to be a massively overlooked title for the quality. If you like games like DInkum, or Spirit of the Island, even titles like Valheim, etc, this a really cool niche.

This game is buggy and unfinished. But the world interactions are so thoughtfully crafted and animated that it is hard to deny how charming it is to cultivate in these pathless woods. The eating/survival is paced much like Don't Starve, and the playstyle reminds me of old-school Runescape. But there is less grind and more wonder than an MMO.

i dont understand why this game isnt blowing up its got robust combat, crafting and base building, I really wish I was rich enough to angel invest on these devs, they did a really good job with this one.

Like others have mentioned, the UI is definitely on the clunky side. Buuut you do eventually get used to it - emphasis on eventually. It takes a bit of time. I’ve pretty much run out of survival crafting games to play, so I probably gave this one more patience than some might. The food timers are a bit annoying (again, echoing what others have said), and you end up collecting a lot of junk. That said, the game does reward you for your efforts, which I appreciate. Combat was fine - not amazing, not terrible. The building mechanics were honestly my favorite part; they’re really well done. Farming becomes manageable once you get a companion to help; manually watering crops yourself gets old fast. Unfortunately, companions are still pretty glitchy. As for updates, it sounds like they’ll be few and far between, at least based on what the dev has shared. Your mileage may vary on how that affects your experience. There's definitely a lot to do early on, but for me, the momentum stopped once I ran out of upgrades. Without progression goals or a conclusion to a story, I lose interest. That said, for an Early Access title, I had a good time. I got it on discount, so I feel like I got my money's worth. I’ll mark it as recommended, but I probably won’t pick it up again until it gets a couple more updates. IF it gets more updates...
