I don't speak that way to my friends, family, or strangers. People don't have to talk that way to each other. It ruins this game, as it does many other artsy indies. It's just the writer's horribly out of tone style. I did not buy a cute game with cartoon animals to read incessantly and unecessarily and unprovokedly cold, mean, biting words spoken for no story-related purpose. Realistically hateful speech is NOT COZY. I don't know why it is en vogue among indies to have characters speak with casual cruelty towards those they supposedly care about, but I hate it.

Would love to come back here in a few months and give a better score. If they sort their technical issues out and optimize some of the horribly clunky or missed features, this game would be one if my favourites for sure. But I do hope it gets some very much needed updates in the future. Otherwise I don't know if I'd recommend it at all at this stage. If the art style and idea is something you'd absolutely love, rather get it for pc. I do not recommend buying this game for the switch at all. All of this is, as I said, such a shame because the idea, the art style and character designs are amazing.


Sometimes things just don't work, even though I'm never sure if it's a bug or just the horrible controls again. Since trash (one of the two currencies) gets more rare and harder to find later on, this would have been a good opportunity to give the player and additional option to get trash (recycling of old items). There are also smaller issues that just make the game seem unpolished in other aspects: you can't sell or otherwise get value out of any items you collected, bought or crafted. The idea overall is amazing too but it just doesn't work out that well. It has a lovely art style, such a fun story and wonderful characters. Which would be a shame because this game is so charming in almost all other aspect than the technical ones. It is honestly so annoying that I considered getting a refund if possible. And because this is a crafting and building and cooking game, you will have to do A LOT of that. You have to press a or b a dozen times before doing ONE simple action in the menu.

Never have I seen such overly complicated and unoptimized controls. But what makes clunky game elements like this even worse on the switch are the extremely awful controls. It's not fun, it takes forever and I have no idea what the plan behind it was. The cooking mechanic for example isn't fun at all on the switch and I can't imagine that it's much better on pc. In several instances the game just seems unpolished or downright unfinished. Loading times on the switch are way too long for a game like this and get longer the more you play. Most notably, I experienced several game crashes, which aren't that bad luckily thanks to the auto save feature but it's annoying nontheless.
