This game only has at max 3 hours of content and is not worth the current $10 price point. ONLY buy this on sale. Also: fast readers BEWARE. You'll reach "the end" in under ten minutes even while playing co-op.

Each run is on a 6 turn game cycle, with a final 7th being the accumulation of your built up stats. There are choices to make on the final day, however they are predictable and lead to a small pool of endings.

Choices that happen day one or two do not fully apply to all scenarios. For example (small spoiler), becoming a vampire has little affect on most other plots.

Additionally, most choices are on a choice 1 or 2 pass/fail moral compass system and that does not allow players to explore the "corrupt" options that the game allows you to pick. Example, ignoring a person in need either gives a neutral or negative reward, never positive no matter your previous decisions. This is limiting as a player and not enjoyable as a Choose Your Own Adventure fan. Even as someone who generally plays "good", I felt forced into these options due to the mechanics.

If you like Stardew, but every other "clone" has fell short for you... this is FINALLY the game for you. The mechanics are great and the community feels so welcoming and fun to explore. While playing co-op, never fear about missing a cut-scene, because if someone activates one, the other will be dragged into it without losing their place on the map.

I love this game so much already! I'm really looking forward its progress@

================
I do have some critiques, however, I'm giving these only because I know the developer is dedicated to improving the game and I would like to give my thoughts to help:
- Auto-Sort and Auto-Add need buttons on-screen.
- New area discoveries need to be delayed. The first season should be dedicated to the opening area (the forest). The other areas need to wait for new seasons or even year 2, and there needs to be more lore hints about the people we will meet before actual discovery.
- This builds off the above point: there is too much variety early in the game and it clashes with the otherwise really great progression system. Slow it down, and that naturally builds up the middle game.
- Give an early warning that your first home can only home one pet.

That's all I have 6.4 hours in! I will add onto this review later if I have more thoughts.
