### 4/5 — Wish it was a full game!

*2026-02-05, version 1.7.10*

Really cute and this is everything I’ve been looking for in a new cozy game. I just wish it wasn’t mobile and I could buy on console/PC to not have to worry about waiting or paying

### 4/5 — So fun with minor fixes

*2026-01-28, version 1.7.10*

I like the music and environment, its a very relaxing and cozy game. I just wanted to note a few things that would make it even better. 
1) the mini games say they use 10 energy each, when really it takes away 12 energy each time you play. So when you have full energy of 50, you can only play 4 times and not 5. Please fix this!
2) I would like more customization options at home, for instance it doesnt allow you to move the position of your bed. And you cannot rotate any items either so it makes customizing kind of limiting. Would love to see this updated.
I’ve currently finished all the quests and Looking forward to what comes next!

### 5/5 — Adorable

*2026-01-11, version 1.7.9*

This game is so cute, I love the pixel art style and the animations

### 5/5 — Made with Care

*2026-01-10, version 1.7.9*

I recently downloaded this game and can already tell how much the developers care about this game and care about the people playing this game. 

Firstly it has always been a dream of mine to help run a cafe for and with cute woodland animals … I’m so glad there’s a cute cozy game that’s free to play for me to enjoy it!

The ads in this game have not been overwhelming. They are more geared for ways to watch ads that benefit the player with giving bonuses and gifts. I know the creators have already mentioned they have ads so that the game can be free, and they certainly make the ads as unobtrusive as possible. 

This game is really cute and beautiful. The characters are adorable, the art style is gorgeous. I’m a huge fan and I’m sure I’ll only love it more as I go forward.

### 5/5 — Super cute, relaxing gas

### 5/5 — So cute!

*2026-01-03, version 1.7.8*

This game is adorable! The story and quests are so engaging, and the minigames are so fun. It’s a really cute cozy forest core mobile game that I can’t put down.

### 4/5 — Love the game but one major bug

*2026-01-03, version 1.7.8*

I love the game and have been playing for a week or so, however once in the quest ‘Threads Of Celebration’, I head to the Lightfall Glade as suggested, and then I can’t go further. There is a star icon on the tree which when clicked, does nothing. Or, it is impossible to click. This makes it impossible to complete the quest and continue the game.

### 5/5 — love it

### 5/5 — I AM OBSESSED!!!

### 1/5 — Stays open for maybe 60 seconds

*2026-05-19, version 1.8.1*

Crashes constantly

### 1/5 — !!one major bug!!

*2026-01-29, version 1.7.10*

### 1/5 — Français

*2026-01-17, version 1.7.9*

C’est difficile à comprendre quand on est pas bilingue

### 1/5 — Stuck

*2025-12-08, version 1.7.6*

Started 24 hours ago and been stuck since getting zero keys ect any help please

### 1/5 — Seriously creepy

*2025-11-16, version 1.7.3*

The game is fun….until you go home and get ambushed by this creature that judges you on your money “wisdom” and gives you a credit rating! Thats just weird. Instant delete.

### 1/5 — Almost Loved

*2025-11-09, version 1.7.1*

This game had a lot of potential until you realize it’s a glorified AD/micro transaction scheme. Nearly every action becomes about purchasing some sort of content or watching an AD to generate revenue…not as relaxing when the game constantly glitches while simultaneously pushing for user money.

### 1/5 — So many bugs

*2025-10-22, version 1.7.1*

Cute and fun game but so many bugs that hinder progress.

### 1/5 — Can’t progress

*2025-09-28, version 1.7.0*

I like it so far but I’m at the point where I need a new hairstyle to start a quest, but I can’t get one because talking to the penguin at the clothing store just gives me the dialogue for starting the quest

### 1/5 — Paid for no ads and have ads still

*2025-06-26, version 1.4.3*

Paid for no ads and I still have the ad banner at the bottom. Pretty lame and should be fixed or refunded

### 1/5 — Dont Waste Your Time

*2025-06-06, version 1.4.3*

I'm frustrated because the game is cute and the initial quests were fun. But after I found Pudding & the Dragons, there are no more quests. Also I paid for Ad Free but there is still a banner ad. I have tried restoring purchases several times. Dont waste your money on ad free. Its too bad, its a very cute game.

### 5/5 — Super cozy

*2026-08-10, version 1.9.2*

This game is great. There is occasionally small lag but apart from that it runs very smoothly. There are fun mini games you can play to get money.

### 5/5 — Calming and Fun

*2026-08-06, version 1.9.2*

This is such a calming and fun game. I’m caught up on all the current quests and excited for the new ones to drop. In the meantime, I’m playing mini games and working on my relationships with all the residents! I’m confused about the comments with ad complaints, because most of the ads are optional, and I only have maybe one ad pop up per day that isn’t tied to a reward.  Compared to most other free games, that’s super nice. I also rarely choose to watch an ad for a reward, and I’ve been able to progress through the game at a good pace! Also acorns have been perfect easy to earn and use to buy keys, stamps, etc. I haven’t had any glitches that I can think of.

### 5/5 — I love it!

*2026-07-30, version 1.8.4*

### 5/5 — Indie in Love ♥️

*2026-01-20, version 1.7.9*

I love Indie games. This game is chill, relaxing and fun. So glad I found it 😭. Have been trying to find cozy relaxing games that are interactive and fun too. But have failed for the longest time. Am very gratefully enjoying this one. Hoping you can enjoy it too 😊
