I really enjoy this take on a base building game, a little similar to Raft (in that you are confined to a wooden base to build on and move your home around). The implementation of Slavic culture and folklore is what sold it for me. I'm enjoying the game a lot, I'm really looking forward to future updates!

Having lots of fun already ^^ Playing this when it's in EA for only a week, so I'm looking forward to future updates! I've been playing it with a friend, and we found it very doable. I can imagine it's pretty hard to do solo, however. Anyway, I recommend the game even in this early stage, and certainly for this price.

Minami Lane is a very cute city (or street) builder game.
It is a little short, I think I finished all the missions in about 4 or 5 hours, but the sandbox mode is a lot of fun too!

In the end, I'm feeling pretty neutral about the game. The premise was promising and I really wanted to like it more than I did.
I love a good supernatural story with demons and folklore!
But as other reviewers mentioned: some of it is hard to make sense of. The hints at times act as if the knowledge is so obvious, OF COURSE you should know that a wind mill is vulnerable to demonic inhabitants, DUH.
Also, the voice acting is lacking and the mispronunciation of words is irksome to me.
Still, I'd recommend it, because I liked the story and the combat system.

Seeing the screenshots, I'm thinking: Oh, sweet, it's one of those games!
Being hit by a trigger warning at the start of the game, and not just for epilepsy: Oh. It's one of *those* games.

Edit: the trigger warnings are on point, btw. It's messed up, just the way I like it!

Like Ace Attorney, except instead of an attorney, you're now a TV detective trying to be a real detective!
Hope you like nonograms, because you'll be doing a lot of those.

As someone with a deep fear of large, open bodies of water...
Great. I'm having a great time.

Great gameplay, humour and replayability. Will probably play this game for a long time to come (and hoard all the cats for myself)

Great game, while not a HP fan myself, I love the graphics and the combat system.However, I do have 2 huge gripes with the game.1. The writing is awful at times. Is it too much to ask for some emotion in these 'friendships' you form? 2. For such a high-end game, and especially for this price tag, I find it almost insulting that so many NAMED characters suffer from 'same-face'. Sebastian Sallow & Garreth Weasly, for example. As well as professor Hecat and an NPC Betty Bugbrooke you encounter later on.The game is still rife with bugs as well, which I hope the devs will fix at some point. But overall, I enjoyed it a lot and despite its linear storyline, I'll definitely be playing it multiple times.

Probably better with friends, but I'm enjoying it single player as well.
