Yeah. Like, I know "the My Time series has ruined me for now wanting plot in my life sims", but heck, like my other posts, even something like SDV's community centre. Olive Town's bringing back tourism. Grand Bazaar's... er... grand bazaar. Give me *some* reason to care about this place.

Yup, it just plops you there and “go have fun”. No real goal or central plot.
Their (very vague) roadmap says they are including one in full release, but the fact there isn’t even a crumb of one yet doesn’t give much hope.

I did a small thread yesterday.
tl;dr- It's *fine*, but to the point of that being a drawback. There's a lot to 'do', but none of it felt that deep or interesting. I'd really recommend waiting until the full launch to see how they flesh out the game more, since it's not bad, just slightly underbaked

Like, I look at one mod. And it's all "Oh, but you need to also install six *other* mods. In a specific order. Even though those mods don't really look like they have anything to do with this one.
And that's just *one* mod.

Good luck!

That's another thing that kinda annoyed me. Zero body editing for the MC.
I mean, considering how much of a tight shot they go for in some of the cutscenes, I suppose I can't fault them *too* much for not varying MC height, but still.
(Also: Where's all the long hair options for the guys?)

Might be a bad analogy, but almost feels like a "New Horizons meets life sim" in terms of content, if that makes sense.
Again, it's early access, and the vibes *are* there. I'm willing to give benefit of the doubt for now for more content in full launch, but it's just hard to recommend *now*.

Yeah. Like, there's a lot *to* do, but there's no real focus. Plus there's seemingly (so far) no central drive to it. (I mean, yeah, My Time has ruined me for life sims, but even something like SDV's rec centre, or Grand Bazaar's, well, bazaar. There's no reason *to* play.)

I Kickstarted it, and, well... (I write a bit more about it in a post)
it's tough to recommend at this point. It's very pretty, very comfy vibes, but ultimately still pretty shallow in a "This is fine" kind of way. It's not *bad*, but just very... "I sure hope the full release adds *something*."

Hopefully the full launch later this year will be a bit better content-wise, but I'm not super hopeful.

Like with a bit more polish, and a bit more direction, it feels like there's something in there. But as it stands, there's not much that will make me want to give it more than a couple more hours. Not sure I'll even make it through the first season.

It's very pretty, and I like the character designs. Controls well enough, and it easy to get into at the very least. But in a post-My Time world (and heck, even Grand Bazaar), I really wanted something a bit more out of what's on offer here.
