Very addicting and a great start for an enjoyable game.
My suggestions would be to find a way to balance things a bit more. I got to about 10-15 graves and it was physically impossible to maintain them enough to stop them for "running away" to just be shoved in a well anyway, especially when i run out of money for all of the things to keep them comfortable. The wildflowers grow a bit too fast. I just can't find a comfortable way to expand without losing all of the graves. Having a groundskeeper at 15 rather than 50 graves feels like it would be more realistic. I stopped playing once i lost 5 of my 15 graves as i couldn't afford the flowers fast enough for them. means i lost a 3rd of the income and i couldn't be bothered to do all the digging again .

This is such a good and fun game! There are a few little bugs and things that need improving, but its already super enjoyable with so much potential!!
So far, the only bugs I've come across are:
- Stealing from the parking meter made the cops come, but they couldn't interact with the character and i was stuck, unable to cancel the "beg for mercy", travel or anything. i had to reload a save.
- getting stuck on items and stairs and having to do a little loop
and The flooring for the build mode needs work!

It would be great to see an interaction or order drinks from the bar and different item interactions, but i assume this is going to be something added at a later stage.

oh my! What a beautiful game! I love the fact i can play this and it will pull me out of any negative head space im in. the art is adorable and the story got me choked up. Recently becoming a cat owner myself, this really pulled my heart strings! Keep up the amazing work! I'll be looking forward to each release.
I love that It's becomes a little challenging towards the end, but it's fully achievable so you're not frustrated trying to find the last few kitties.

I didn't have any performance issues (game updated just before playing so might be fixed now? )
Very eerie, fun to explore, not too difficult to know what to do. good scares.
I DO however have some... questions?

The story is hard to work out, and I read everything. Who was pregnant (beside the new house owners fiance)? Who done the drawings in the laundry room, and why are they so creepy, of an alien/child? Did miss crawler kill herself or not? How did the sherif get away with fabricating a story of saving people, if they all died? a reporter wouldn't ignore that there was a dead family, or that a fake story had been written about it.... who was the dead couple and what was their ties to miss crawler? Why was there scan photos with "why is it taking so long?" like there's some story about the baby? Why did the sheriff kill all of them? Why does it take 20 bullets to the head to take him out? why is a ghost trying to kill me, and help me discover the truth at the same time? And what the hell was the "It's sheriff" on the painting?

Unsure on this. It has so much potential..
We died 3 times in a row, have -240 in the bank and no equipment to play. No Torches etc. Can't really play it when you can't investigate. Unless I'm missing something?
Just feels unbalanced at the moment. I played for an hour with friends and we all gave up after dying every time and losing all of the equipment. I watched the tutorials (needed in order to understand) and still couldn't earn money to buy equipment.

This game was so enjoyable to play and stream! The overlap of the character being a streamer, and being able to have your own twitch chat show on the game was a super fun feature! Cant wait to see if anything gets added or similar made by these Devs! Keep up the good work!

I received this game for free, and had a "commitment" to stream this game. I have searched for a way to privately contact the Devs, but no luck, so sadly, im having to leave my review here along with why I will not be steaming this game.
I am an advocate for indie devs and supporting them, and avoiding publicly giving a negative opinion on something that can be helped/fixed, but when I have a commitment and 0 ways to contact when there's issues, i have no other choice.

I will start off saying that the scenery is beautiful, and there's potential for this game,
however if they don't reach its potential soon (and i mean ASAP) this game will just be a flop.

The translations in the game are terrible, often giving instructions that do not make sense, leaving it a guessing game and causing frustration that takes away from the "relaxing" vibe the game goes for.
There is literally 0 replay-ability and nothing interesting.

you start by standing next to your car, you "unpack" your essentials by clicking them and placing them in the designated spot. you walk around collecting rubbish and mushrooms. guessing how to complete the tasks that are repetitive, boring and just slow.

You can choose to complete more "tasks" such as "stay up past midnight" where you can just idle while doing something else IRL, the box ticks and you can then click to go to bed.

THEN..... you get to pack your car up again by click....walk....click...walk...click.... walk (you get the picture)
Then the game is done... you can chose a second location and upgrade a few items that literally make NO DIFFERENC to the game, such as you can choose to eat a hotdog instead.... which is just more click...walk...click... and more guessing as the translations cant give clear instructions.
again, collect some rubbish, collect some mushrooms.. click the tent, sleep and finished....

There is no way this would entertain an audience, unless it was to mock the game for how boring and repetitive it is (sorry but its true and i refuse to slam an indie game online to my viewers)

The "vlog" is just your camera phone you place in the area and that is it.... you don't interact with it again until you pack it away in your car. there's no "vlogging" aspect at all.

I LOVE simulator games, I've spent countless hours on power wash sim, gas station sim etc, i have an entire folder for them... and this game sadly offers nothing other than a pretty graphics.

my tips for the devs to make this a game worth playing, especially for steamers and you tubers to showcase the game.

Have a vlogging aspect, hold your camera and capture the beautiful scenes, have some dialog pop ups to choose from to "record" along side the "vlog" have a feature where you can "upload" the vlogs on your phone and simulate social media responses such as views, likes, comments etc. (think along the streamer life simulator side of things).

Add tasks that actually offer some kind of reward. collect more rubbish and "vlog" how many bags you collected, the more you collect, the better the response from the in game "socials". Have in game "sponsorships" where you're paid to go remove rubbish to help the environment and choose a sponsor best suited to the vlogging.. rather than just collecting money from thin air for collecting mushrooms.

There's many ideas that can improve this game (sure with a love of development etc) but to get this far and release a game called camping vlog simulator and only have the camping part, its a bit of a let down.

This could be an amazing game, but its missed the mark massively. I hope the Devs do fix this game up a bit, otherwise i can see a lot of refunds happening. If i'd paid for this, id have requested a refund for sure.

Really enjoyable, great atmosphere, very spooky and had me on edge the entire time. quite a quick game, but deffo worth the money. Perfect short horror for videos and live streams to keep your viewers entertained by the big frights! Keep up the good work! Streamed live to my channel on twitch.tv/OneRandomDolly

super enjoyable game to stream, lots of jump scares and creepy atmosphere, price is worth the experience. even when i experienced a little bug that required me to re-play an area, i still got jump scared as they aren't instant and all the same. they vary slightly so its always unexpected. Recommend to indie horror lovers and streamers,.

Highly addictive and fun. If you like simulation games, and if you're a streamer or interested in streaming, you will enjoy this game.

(note to dev)
There are a few bugs that need fixing however....

- The key bindings can't be changed, and later in the game there will be overlaps (using C to call the dog and turn on the PC)
- The dog can knock things over, so you wont want it in your streaming room, which is annoying as you call your dog every time you turn your PC on and it can warm through doors.
- Furniture glitches all over the place, if you accidentally place things in the wall (it is green to place, so you think its okay) and then it will just flick up and anything near it will get thrown around.
- E picks things up, and F is the action key, you WILL pick up things by accident instead of using them, not an issue until you're into a 30+ hr (in game) stream with 20K viewers and the entire (in game) pc shuts down as soon as you accidentally pick up the monitor, so you have to build it all up again.
- the most expensive camera is really confusing at first, you cant have it next top the desk, it must be behind the desk, almost like a news anchor set up.
- for some reason, my freshly purchased items randomly vanished when i re-loaded.
- at some point, 3 times now, ill be into a 30+ hours stream, and when i get up to get a drink/food and use the toilet, the player will stand up, but glitch and throw the monitor across the room (like its picked the monitor up while standing up), ending the stream and requiring me to pick it back up, it often launches the keyboard and other stuff across the room too.

- The dog gets stuck in the car and you have to save your game and re-load it to get it out.
- I got a new car, and when i re-loaded to get the dog out, the car vanished and the rusty old yellow/red one appeared and the 17K car just vanished.

I never got a prompt (that i remember) to say that there's a skill tree with X. i played for 6+ hours wondering how i can get more crypto miners, until i googled it.

tips for improvement
- Add keybinding options
- Allow the dog to go longer than 20 mins without needing 2 tubs of food.
- fix collision issues with furniture.
- add dog bed and pet furniture that the dog will go lay down on.
- allow items such as old PC parts to be able to be placed on a shelf.
- allow more storage slots in the fridge, and make it so food doesn't rot within a day.



Other than these inconvenient glitches (you get used to pressing F instead of E, but you will still occasionally do it and get annoyed) and having to re-buy items that randomly disappear, its a really fun game that really got me stuck in. If you use crypto miners, you can easily get money for upgrades and things.
