I had high hopes for this one, but unfortunately, I can't recommend this game. The controls are horrible, and there's not enough fishing!! Everything is so janky! It won't let me remap the buttons, let alone close the game!

This game is mostly a VN with very little fishing mechanics inserted between cutscenes. The story isn't particularly interesting either. It's such a shame because I wanted to give Natusme a chance.

I like the idea and I see the potential, but currently the game is extremely flat! The combat is not the best, and the characters look nice but feel soulless. The quests were a little shallow and unrewarding. I had a hard time fishing, and carrying Kinntarou around the forest was a chore! The quests need some improvements.

Another issue is the art. There have been speculations on how it was done, and as an artist, that doesn't sit right with me. (I could be wrong though). For now, I can't 100% recommend this game. It's poorly optimized, and the story failed to hook me. My review might change someday, but it's definitely a NO for now.

Short but sweet game! I recommend you solve the puzzles without looking at any guide online (I regrettably did for 1 puzzle because I could not find that specific odd-shaped keyhole). The atmosphere is very eerie and the ending gave me a jump scare. I like that there's a hint system if you feel stuck. I'm also not too big on puzzle games because I'm impatient, but this one is really good!

Super engaging story and I love the voiced dialogues. It's an immersive game where you could feel like you're in an actual maze. The controls are not the best since clearly, this game is made with mobile controls in mind, but if you get past the clunky UI, it's such a fun game! If you like games like Etrian Odyssey, Vaporum, and the Labyrinth series, then this one is for you! This game is not a cakewalk though! Your allies can die permanently!

(and if I'm going to be super picky... I want this game to have STEAM achievements!) :P

Super recommended! It's not a distracting utility game! Ropuka also makes me feel less lonely 🥺 I could vibe with this little froggy all day! Easily one of the best desktop buddy/idler games out there! Trust me, I've played A LOT of idler games. This is amazing!!! 🐸🐸🐸

I am disappointed that this is the first game I bought for 2025. It has complex mechanics and high-level difficulty. The game is punishing, stressful, and overwhelming!

I first saw this game on the Switch, and it piqued my interest because I love management, survival, and crafting games. I figured I'd get it on PC instead since colony sims often have lots of texts and buttons to press. I just got frustrated with this one. I expected it to be more chill but even in sandbox mode, everything felt unbalanced.

It deserves the "Overwhelmingly Positive" reviews! 1000% better than Farm Together 1 even if this game is still in EARLY ACCESS! So much quality of life has been added in this sequel! The gameplay is a tad grindy but incredibly rewarding & relaxing! It’s one of those games where you feel like you're always making progress, even when you step away for a while. Fun to play solo or with friends <3 <3 <3

It's reminiscent of the first game but with improved visuals and animations! I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys farming, simulation, or idle games! Love love love!

It is definitely my GOTY!!! I played this game with people who I hold dear in my heart. <3 This game will forever be special!

It perfectly captures the nostalgic feel! I love the music and the gorgeous pixel art! The grind feels satisfying and rewarding! I'm so glad I got to play this game this year. The game took several years to finish but it is so worth it!

(There's one quest with a RPDR reference in there! It caught me off guard! I love it! Vanjie! Vaaanjie!)

Angela Anaconda meets a gardening game!

I check this almost daily to water and harvest my plants. The music is lovely, and the art is stunning! The hitboxes for this game are HORRIBLE! I dislike the bees because they overlap the plants and they hinder me from harvesting my produce. I hope there will be an option to hide them! 🐝🐝🐝 It uses real-time so you need to check your plants. Achievements are also easy to do! I would get it on sale because there's not much to do after unlocking some decor and plants. It's super relaxing to play though!

There's zero replayability after you've unlocked all the art. This game is mostly coloring pre-made pixel art pieces. You don't even get to pick which colors you want for the artwork. It's basically a coloring book game. The hints don't work! I got frustrated several times looking for that ONE tiny pixel because the "hint" does not function. The SELECTION COLOR cycle was not even helpful at all! All colors available were almost identical with the art pieces so it made no sense, they were barely visible! Relaxing, calming, and soothing? I don't think so.
