Is there any kind of community or app or way to figure out what to do next? I just started this game and I love it but there isn’t a lot of content to help guid me and I can’t get the hints to work, and I’d really like to continue playing! ### 4/5 — Love it but nothing new *2023-05-31, version 1.25* I love the game, but there is no real ending to the game, and nothing new has been added in forever. ### 4/5 — Bug *2022-09-02, version 1.25* stuck in the forest . everytime i wanna go somewhere near the blood well , it returns me back to the blood well ### 5/5 — Sakura tree *2022-08-19, version 1.25* Im so sad why the sakura tree is gone , im crying all day all night ### 3/5 — Charming but unintuitive *2022-08-17, version 1.25* I really like the art, the vibe, and the gameplay the game is trying to give me. But that’s kind of the extent of the good things. It’s really hard to navigate through the game—there’s no indicator that you can interact with something, there’s a massive lack of labels that tells users what anything is. There’s a story but the thing is, you’re presented with the end goal and 0 ideas on how to get there. The lack of a map also makes physical navigation really inconvenient until you get used to it (which, for a game, needing to get used to a lack of QoL isn’t a good thing). ### 5/5 — Update pls!!! *2022-08-12, version 1.25* I really really love this game and I want mooore!! ### 5/5 — 너무 귀엽고 좋아요 *2022-07-05, version 1.25* 터치 할때 불편해도 엄청 재미있어요! ### 5/5 — Gutes Spiel, sehr beruhigend und interessant *2022-07-02, version 1.25* Süßes Spiel. Schade, dass es im App Store nicht so bekannt ist. Ich kann es auf jeden Fall nur weiterempfehlen. Man braucht eben ein bisschen Englisch-Kenntnisse. ### 4/5 — time crystal *2022-06-28, version 1.25* i’m hoping there will be more updates but considering it’s been over a year i am doubtful. i believe i have done everything there is to do. i loved the game but with very little information on what to do, especially what to do now i’m saddened. ### 3/5 — Not sure what to do next… *2022-06-25, version 1.25* I just started playing and I’m lost as what to do next. Old guy just left for his retirement trip. So what’s next…? ### 5/5 — Great game but I’m sad *2022-06-16, version 1.25* Such a great game but I wish there was more :’) I hope that a new update comes out one day :’))) ### 3/5 — Great Potential, Needs Updates *2022-06-13, version 1.25* I honestly love a lot of things about this game. But, even knowing it is a puzzle game, being stuck for days and days and unsure of how to progress is beyond frustrating. There are no walkthroughs or tutorials available. No way to actually finish the storyline. Will there be more updates? Hoping so. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable but needs updating *2022-06-06, version 1.25* Brilliant game with cute graphics and fun little puzzles. Hopefully there will be an update soon as it’s boring now I’ve completed chapter 2 as there’s nothing else to do but so much available ### 4/5 — Cute, but confusing. *2022-05-07, version 1.25* Things that bothered me: not able to interact and pick up enough stuff (gathering, foraging) I found a piece of gold somewhere and no one ever buys it, and I can’t find it anywhere in the book that keeps track of items you have found, I wish that there was a map or something, where each time you discover a new place, or each time a character in the game is like “I live here if you want to visits me” it appears on the map, because I have a very hard time getting around, and remembering were I’ve been. Also it would be cool if the puzzles could have hints (like watch an add to get a hint) last thing... it would be cool to be able to customize your traveler in the beginning (gender, colors, appearance) Things I like about the game: (the art style, the creativity, the animals (bush lama and Cocoa cows) the ability to talk to the towns people, and to be able to go beyond the town, selling things, the animation you get when you go to bed, the different types of characters, you get to live in a snail shell 😊 ### 3/5 — Hard to play *2022-05-06, version 1.25* The graphics and overall game looks really cool and the premise seems fun. When it comes to playing the actual game tho it does not work well, has a very basic tutorial which doesn’t tell you much at all and is generally upsetting. Would like to like this game but it’s too hard to actually play. :( ### 5/5 — So fun, but one problem *2022-04-18, version 1.25* I absolutely fell in love with this game & I can not believe it is free to download, it’s just wonderful. But I don’t know if I missed something, I can’t seem to find any of the crystals/orbs that I’m supposed to collect, and I can’t find mining & shoveling tools either. So the only thing for me to do rn is to earn money by selling fish until I can afford to expand my shop etc. It’s a bit hard for me to tell if I’m missing some things/signs that’d tell me what to do next :) anyways, great game! I’d love to see more in this style, I think people would even pay for this if it got more attention :) have a great day! <3 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tệ *2023-05-14, version 1.25* Code lại cái phần điều khiển giùm cái.
