    I absolutely love this game! I found it about a year ago and played pretty much every day for a while, but then life happened and I forgot it. I came back a few days ago as life had slowed down some and I had a free time period every day where I was limited in what I could do. This game is perfect for that!! I actually find myself wondering if places like these actually exist as I would love to move into a house like this and fix it up a bit, grow my own food, fish, forage, etc. I do wish we could talk to the tourists (perhaps see what they like and what they want from the town, more festivals maybe? Or adding a bath house?). The daily good deed is exciting, and I really enjoy having helped this little town. I saw there was a “new update” but I’m still working on the original task list from the mayor. I was surprised to find that different fish weren’t actually only located in certain spots or times of day, same with the bugs. I did just see an owl for the first time though! Overall, as a busy mom who isn’t the best at video games, I absolutely love this one as it’s fairly easy to pick up and navigate, as well as having lots to do without feeling overwhelming. I’d like to see more interaction with other characters like townspeople and tourists, maybe new recipes, animals, bugs, etc. But at the same time, for me just trying to get the whole year’s events done in only one game year is quite a challenge by itself! Wonderful game you’ve made!

    I’ve really been enjoying this game :) I love having all these tasks to do to make this little village better. My hope is that the developers continue to work on the game an expand it into something even better! I’ve spent hours playing already and still haven’t completed everything, but i can feel that i’m getting close to the end of content available for me to explore. I’m hoping desperately that the areas that i can’t continue on to because i “might get lost” eventually become playable new areas with new things to fix up or items to collect! Maybe there will be new bugs/fish/animals that only spawn in these new places? New crops you can only buy seeds for there? New cooking or DIY recipes??? (my dream) Also, I can’t help but be a bit disappointed in the lack of interaction with the other villagers; there’s no way to learn anything really about the other people living in he community or form any relationship with them outside of just cleaning up around their homes and giving a few gifts. It’s the weakest point of the game. I’d love if we got an overhaul of the way we get to interact with NPCS in the future ^^ oh! and maybe a way to unlock/earn or buy a bicycle so we can get around the map quicker? it’s very tedious to walk from your house across to the very edge of the map :)
