A very difficulty call on whether to recommend this game in its current state. I believe moving this game out of "Early Access" was a mistake.

In most regards, this a reasonable, and fairly ambitious, life-sim. It's a sorely neglected game genera, and having a new life-sim offering is incredibly exciting. Most tasks are completed via mini-games and map exploration, which I thoroughly enjoy. However, some of these mini-games are poorly balanced in difficulty.

The most glaring issue is the lack of interesting relationships and dialogue. Special NPCs, like the "masters" who train you in skills, are unique and fun. But, your general NPC (and marriage candidates) are bland. This is supposed to be developed further in the future. But, for right now, I think this is the greatest issue holding the game back.
