I expected a farming sim with the option to own stores and manage them as well as going exploring/adventuring for a bit if I wanted. And that's pretty much what I got regarding those elements.

I did not, however, expect being forced to choose between two elderly villagers I'd befriended by doing chores for them, so that one of them ended up being sacrificed in my village's Wicker Man ritual and then a couple of days later selling my soul and the soul of all my first-born descendants to the Fae when I was barely thirteen years old and disappearing for five years only to find on my return that my twin now hates me because they had to take care of the farm in my absence and lay to rest the remains of the uncle who raised us.

Also, I adopted a dog and three cats and learned to bake a mean apple pie. And that was just the Prologue.

This is a game that I would love to love, but I just can't as is. The intro to the game is too slow, there are too many people, and it just feels overwhelming. If I could change one thing it would be to remove all of the 4 speech options so that when you speak to someone, they tell you what's important and you can move on. And to make the text appear much faster. Talking to NPCs is just too slow of an activity and my human brain rebels.

Brilliant!
