Leave a Review The Trail
Love the game. But I wish...
Hey, just wanted to say, this game is amazing. It's really immersive an fun to play, even to pass the time. I love all the great features it has like building and changing your own house, creating new things, actually having quests to get recipes and create more new things. Just a few things I would love to have that would make this game so much better. Firstly, changing your job, or at least knowing which one you'll have when you choose an empty plot in the town. Second, please make it so that we can "find a partner," as it says in the goals at the beginning of the game. I find it kinda pointless for it to say so if we're not going to have one. And finally, I'd like to say that the story through the letters is very interesting to know. I haven't really gotten that far, but I would really love for us to have a more important role for our families than to just send letters saying how well we're doingShow lessRoikias2000
Ok Here's The TRUTH
So if you look at the picture in the description it says explore, trade and discover and settle & build. 1. Yes you you go on the top of mountains but there are others around you that have way more than you, are going faster and they seem to have a never ending stamina. 2. Yes you trade but only the person that trades the most gets a prize and that leaves others with the feeling to trade more valuable items that shouldn't be traded. 3. Basically the same as 1. 4. And probably the most disappointing! For example: I played this game nonstop for 2 months and was hoping to reach Edan falls, (sorry, forgot how to spell it) and I got there. I had been stolen from and watched as other players took the things I worked hard to get, and played for so long! And it said "pick an empty plot to buy" and I was like hmm WELL THERE ISN'T AN "EMPTY PLOT!" And I was forced to move onto the trail once again, with no destination and no more point in playing. It no longer showed the map also so I couldn't go back and see if a "empty plot" had opened even.
Thank you for reading this! And if you enjoy walking and watching people steal your things, (it's ok if you have a different opinion) then get this. If you don't I would advise you to not download this game. Thank you very much and have a wonderful day.😊Show lessTheSparkleQueen
A great game - unbalanced, in favor of favours
A lovely time, I'm just frustrated by some things. My clothes frequently wear out, and I see that about other people, too, walking around naked. Every trip im saving up for pants, a shirt, a slinghsot, etc, and by the time I've got that something else has worn out. The
This makes the whole stat-boosts-come-from-clothes thing really frustrating. Yes, I gradually unlock better clothes, but I'm always making an effort to just keep my stats the same, and I'm not leveling up at all. Not to mention I can only do so much in one trip, because my bag is tiny - and whenever I unlock a new bag, it wears out before I know it....leaving me with no storage again! Just giving clothes a longer wear time, or JUST making storage expansions permanent. That one thing would help a lot. It's a really intriguing system, but the balance is off, and it's not fulfilling. Clearly, they want you to pay for favors, and the playstyle is clearly worse off for a free player.
All that said, this is a fun game. It hasn't been very buggy for me so far, and all this ^ would be a lot of fun to handle. It's exploration meets resource management meets a beautifully animated low-poly rpg, and it could really go places. I'm just constantly frustrated with the play style.Show lesskriahfawkes
Not what I expected from a Mobile game
Definitely this game goes a bit beyond just tapping and swiping for mobile games and that's what makes it so enjoyable it's different the art style is freaking amazing! The interaction between other players could be a bit better but regardless this is a calm capturing game.

This game is still amazing have you ever read "Into The Wild" it feels as if your in a Jack London story or living like Chris McCandless. The only complaints I have are the letters we you go back into the archive they are indistinguishable and blabbed together. I reinstalled this game today and I'm glad I did it's definitely the most calming game out there yes it may be a bit linear but you take what you can get perhaps they'll add something that your family can help? I enjoy the companions :) I can't wait to get my own. That's all I have to say for now please continue to update. Thank you for a great gameShow lessSadist Lion
Great Game but...
This game is great, from the Art to the Story Line. I was really excited about you introducing dogs into the game. I put about a Months work into gathering the money I needed to build the pet shop since my Town Members were online but wouldn't help. After I was able to afford the Pet Shop, I waited about a day. I was Very disappointed to find out that one Dog costs 75... Favors. I was REALLY REALLY disappointed. They only give you One favor every day. It would then take me another 2 months and a half to get a Dog unless I bought some. I didn't buy any. Another thing that the game should add are shops. Every player can open their own shop for maybe 5 favors. The owner could choose what to sell for how much. Other then that, its a great game. I was just really disappointed about the dogs. A player that's active with less then 2 other players active in that same town should be able to go to another town for free. They should be able to bump around towns if there are less then other 2 players active in that town for free.Show lessThe_Girl_Who_Reviews
Good game, very buggy (for me?)
So, I've been playing this game for a while now (maybe a month or two?) and despite the amount of bugs I've encountered I still find it pretty engaging. It's definitely my current time-sink and the game progression keeps me engaged enough to continue playing.
I've had issues with the game crashing (both from regular play and watching the ads), throwing away items for me, and this weird issue of it heating up my phone to the point where I have to worry bc I can feel it through my fairly thick case. I felt prompted to write a review when I was forced (the camera wouldn't look away) to watch a raccoon walk the length of the trail I was on before it got to the edge of the map and continued to walk off into a white abyss.
While the premium items are kind of "pay-to-win", the game basically functions like a single-player game anyway (outside of the town mechanics, which are cooperative) so it doesn't affect anyone else. So they're more "pay to spend less time gathering stuff" And while they would be vastly more convenient, you don't have to buy them to enjoy the game (tho, do it if you can afford it since it keeps the game running, I assume lol).Show lesshapiberi
Towns Don't Work Very Well
I think that the game is interesting. Reading other reviews I don't have weird game breaking glitches like mentioned. I think that the towns should be more useful, you should be able to buy from a shop or maybe start your own shop so that people can have an easier time making money. I think having a shop would be useful if you could spend chits for food and crafting items. I think that having your own shop could also be useful. You could sell items that would benefit other players whilst you make money. It would also insure that people who don't have a lot of free time could progress and would check in everyday to restock their shop. I think the towns would be a lot more social if these were introduced, rather than everyone just using each others homes to make enough screws to upgrade their own homesShow lessMgb750588
Really put off that I need favors to get a dog
I have been so addicted to this game, but I might just stop playing at this point. The game is beautifully designed and very addicting and fun. However, the more I play (I'm at 135 at this point) the more glitchy and slow the game gets. But my big problem is I really wanted a dog. So I put in a ton of crates by myself to earn enough gold to open the pet store (nobody else but me is active in my town, which seems to be a very common and widespread problem). Then I waited the one day period for pet store to open. Only to find that I can only adopt a dog with 75 (!!) favors. Unless you buy them, you get one favor per day. It will take months for me to accumulate that many favors. And I have to keep moving towns, which costs favors too, because they're all inactive. I am so upset that I spent days trying to build the pet store so I could get a dog, only to find out I will have to wait for months to accumulate enough favors. I'm over it.Show lesscquinnny367
Unlike anything I've ever played!
From the moment I downloaded this app I've been hooked. The artwork and ambient music give this game a relaxing and refreshing feeling. It's unique compared to any other app I've played!
I would've gladly given this game 5 stars if it weren't for the occasional lags, bugs and glitches. I can't wait for the customization update so that this feels even more like a home away from home!
There's even a bit of a story going on within the letters you receive from home, which in this case seems to be somewhere possibly in the U.K., that depict the tales and hardships of your family that you've left behind.
I must say I was pleasantly surprised when one letter in particular mentioned Prussia, a country that no longer exists but actually holds some sentimentality behind it. My ancestors actually originated there, making this game feel as though I'm walking in their footsteps, exploring a new land across the seas. I only wish that there was a way I could send some chits to them in a letter, since they seem to be doing so poorly.Show lessCadetSparkleWolf
Amazing
Seeing as I just spent about four hours of my day today playing this, I figured I should probably review it. This game is amazing! It's found that perfect point where you can get lost in the game for a few hours and not get bored while also being something you could pick up and play for a few minutes to kill time too. The graphics are beautiful, the characters and environments are very charming, and the game manages to even make some game mechanics (like crafting) I usually don't like fun again! I kind of wish the game had a proper character creator at the start rather than the 'choose from these generated ones and keep refreshing' style it uses now, but seeing as this is my biggest complaint..... 5/5 stars! (Also, I really adore the inventory system this game has, which is something I never thought I'd ever bother to put in a game review.... even managing your items is fun!!!)Show lessmiinyuu
