I knew I wanted to play this the minute I saw it, as Farmer's Life had a similar vibe and kept me gripped for about 300 hours or so last year. I had to upgrade computers to play it as it is quite demanding, but so far I have to say it is well worth it. It is so nice to see a pretty, well thought out game based on being kind to people and making life better instead of some of the other themes I see. I also love the fact games generally are becoming less Americacentric. This is a gorgeous rendition of shabby rural creativity in digital form. Asked a couple of questions on the forum, the dev was right on it, which bodes well for the future of this game. In terms of gameplay, you do have to love quest based storylines and walking/finding type activity and be a bit aware that money is in roubles not dollars. I did watch a few people try to play it on youtube and they were unprepared for both this and rural life, which was interesting. It isnt one you will be sitting in for hours at a time, but I think that is a good thing, think long series rather than binge play. More like this please, the west needs taught how to cooperate and be basically pleasant, apparently.

This game simulates the kind of autarkic economy that Russia is currently dreaming of against the economic sanctions. Of course, it’s possible because it focuses on simple resources found in the countryside, rather than advanced technologies. You gather resources to quench your thirst and hunger, take on tasks for others, and earn rewards while trying to survive in rural village in Russia. This game feels like a project from an amateur developer, and there are definitely quite a few glitches. However, it really captures the unique vibe of the Russian countryside together with the legacy of the Soviet Union era. Shopping for ingredients in an humble store and cooking borscht is a unique experience for me, and it can only be found in this game! Lenin said, 'Labor is the source of all wealth.' I have taken that quote to my heart and worked really hard. At times, I even felt like I could smell the sweat of the protagonist right through the screen. Honestly, I can't convince you whether this game is good or not, but I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the unique atmosphere of rural Mother Russia.

Good game but it's killing itself with few things that other similar games got right. Suggestion based on my experience: 1. Remove most of markers from map, it kills the sense of adventure. Just add better description to the quests and chats with npcs 2. Fix the sky... I don't know why the dev decided on such a performence needy sky box that is ugly and looks like white noise from old Tv's. I would be much happier with a few screenshots that just transition to another as weather changes 3. Optimization is needed like crazy 4. Button to summon animals back to their stations (All my animals wondered off and no clue where they are but I can't get new ones) 5. For some reason almost everything respawns everyday (including random items around map which is infinite cash glitch in its own way), perhaps change it to once a week or once a month. 6. Random passing out, I've passed out few times while half everything slightly under half (Hunger, thirst and fatigue), maybe I do not notice something but perhaps it should switch to slowly yawning and blinking and giving you like 30 seconds timer to go and take care of your needs before you land in hospital and pay the mad price 7. ALT walk... please make it same speed as NPC walk, noticed that at the start in the tutorial walk and it just annoyed the hell out of me :D Not a big deal but damn it would be nice to have faster regular walk, npc walk, crouch and sprint 8. Timed events, maybe they are happening but I have not noticed in almost 8 hours. Perhaps a calendar that Stardew valley has or something similar that drops some village events, disco, hunting event, eating challenges, tractor racing, pig racing or some other crazy stuff just to fill your day ^^ Feedback given based on almost 8 hours and about 400+ hours in similar type games. Hope that helps!

A great sim with a lot of fun tasks. My only requests would be a way to reset vehicles if they get stuck and more interactions with other villagers outside of tasks. Great game overall though.

This game has SO much potential. I really like the idea of the game from what I could play. Unfortunately, it was not playable on steamdeck even though it states it is playable. My deck continually crashed whilst trying to play this but it was unplayable. The game itself, from what I played... a lot of thought has gone into the game. Every item has detail information about said item. For instance, the Russian oven ... it gives you a little bit of history. It gives you some insight to Russia and the way they lived/live. I absolutely love the quests and the relaxation of the game. I am absolutely gutted I couldn't even get to canning, farming, building anything due to its poor performance on the deck. For this reason, I requested a refund as I am primarily steamdeck and not PC gaming. However, if this game ever becomes verified for steamdeck I would 100% purchase again. It is definitely worth the price but highly recommend using a high proformance PC.
