*2025-10-31*

Recommended for those who want something more challenging. I’ve sunk in a couple of hours and I’ve yet to reach all of the content.

### 5/5 — Best game ever

*2025-09-24, version 1.05.29*

### 1/5 — 아이폰이랑 아이패드 별도결재인가요?

*2025-08-02*

안드로이드에 스팀, 맥북도요? 이미 안드로이드랑 스팀 구매하고, 폰 바꾸면서 아이폰으로 샀는데, 아이패드까지 추가결재 하는건 너무한거 아닌가요?

### 5/5 — Truly Excellent

*2025-04-16, version 1.05.29*

This may be my favorite game ever outside the Zelda franchise. It looks simple, but is incredibly complex, and there’s always something new to discover. I’m only on day 76, but I *think* I’m set up to survive the rest of the dry season… We’ll see if I can keep the macaque friend fed and watered through it too. (See what I mean with the complexity? Sure I’ve only just scratched the surface, too.) It may seem expensive for a mobile game, but I’ve also never found a mobile game that goes this deep, so pretend you’re paying for a PC game. You essentially are, I think it’s a full port.
