Nice and good game destroyed by countless bugs and a translation from hell... Pro: ✔️ The game has beautiful graphics and an engaging story. ✔️ There are many things to explore, and regular updates bring new content. Con: ❌ The nice graphics are more or less the only thing that works properly. ❌ Numerous game-breaking bugs make it nearly impossible to complete multiple quests in a row without encountering issues that require a reload. ❌ The translation quality is abysmal, resembling an outdated automated translation from the early 2000s. ❌ Almost every text contains completely incorrect translations, making dialogues confusing or nonsensical. ❌ Even the GUI suffers from poor translations, with some elements being outright misleading—this issue has persisted for years without proper fixes. ❌ Multiplayer issues: Frequent desynchronization and crashes make playing with friends frustrating. ❌ Performance problems: Lag spikes, stuttering, and crashes occur even on high-end systems. ❌ Developers ignore community feedback: Instead of addressing critical issues, they focus on adding new content while fundamental problems remain unresolved. ❌ Mod support removed: Fans created patches to fix the translation, but due to the developers' questionable decisions, these mods are no longer supported or maintained. Conclusion: This game is a perfect example of wasted potential—a fantastic concept and solid foundation ruined by developers who refuse to listen to their community and fail to set the right priorities. At this point, I cannot recommend buying this game.

Wow! This game has over $100 of extra items masquerading as DLC that should be in the main game. How about some proper DLC that offer quests, gameplay improvements, new areas, etc?

The director of Pixel Sprout is not a good guy. The game is decent - the work which has been done is good - but Bruce is a selfish greedy man who doesn't support the people who made the game what it is.

While I love this game and have put countless hours into this, I cannot recommend it. There are countless bugs, including getting stuck outside of the map, game crashes, festival quests that are unable to be completed. Not to mention the minor annoying ones in which romanceable characters' scenes won't trigger, and also won't accept the love letter because the scenes wouldn't trigger in the first place. It's also annoying how all your progress seems to reset by the year. All those Snaccoons you fed and collected items for to get out of the way? Why, the next season they're all back but in different places, and by the next year, they're all back completely. There's absolutely zero point to even bother with them. The crafting tables are a complete mess with just a long, long list of craftable items (and they keep adding more!) with no way to categorize them. Also, for a decorating, at least have a way to preview craftable wallpapers/furniture before committing. It makes the idea of decorating just tedious, having to craft every single wallpaper/furniture item just to see if it'll be what you were looking for, or to fit into that one bare spot. It makes it not worth it. Additionally, this game is absolutely bloated with DLC cosmetics. It's a clear and obvious cash-grab. Not to mention the shady business practices and controversy of not crediting their artists or devs. This game is grindy, a time sink, and whose content is bloated by cosmetic DLCs. There are bugs, some game-breaking, some annoying. And a shady company who doesn't credit their artists/devs. As is, I cannot recommend this game. But, if you're looking for a fantasy spin on chill farming games and are willing to look past all the negatives, then I say go for it. Just go for it while it's on sale.

this game is cute. it's fun. the world is interesting, and i would have enjoyed playing it more but i Cannot. there is a certain pervasive feeling omnipresent throughout the writing and designs in this game. i will describe it as "horny". i recognize that the characters in farming sims are also now obligatorily romance candidates, but unlike, say, stardew valley or moonstone where they feel like they like they are characters first and foremost, and bachelor/ettes second, this game feels like the characters are props to gratify the player first and people who are part of this world second. the issues begin with the visual designs. the mayor looks straight out of a fire mage sorority. the merchant looka like a russian bond seductress. the angel character who looks super haughty is actually super timid. none of these are fatal flaws on their own, but together they paint a picture of the art directions' priorities: fuckability first, personality second. the writing does not help. i truly blush, in this day and age, to call something "cringe", but... i... look. when this random guy who i've known for two seconds comes up to me and says that he likes my scent even though i'm (told by the game that i'm) not wearing perfume, i am literally Cringing. this is not cute, this is creepy. the therapist was like "you look like you have a lot on your mind" and invited me to his house to talk about it. i'm like, okay, i think it's not a choice i would make to prescribe the player's emotional development, but i'm interested to hear what kind of story the game has in store-- oh, this is a Date event. sir! you are a therapist! that is an HR violation !!! this is not only not what i thought i was consenting to, but this is very weird!! the blacksmith girl says she's wearing her grandmother's pauldron. i don't... that's not... it's... it's a pauldron, i, what are the words that you are saying??? there is a catgirl. i enjoy a good catgirl now and then. her personality? cat. her name? kitty. this is the apparent depth of character writing in this game. there is a fun game in here, but i Cannot get to it through all the transparently horny noise, let alone take it seriously.

A brief summary of the game; It's very much like Stardew Valley, with a lot more fantasy elements, exploration, skills, spells, recipes, decorations, and Snorlax-I mean, Snacoons - to the point where some could be overwhelmed, but take it slow and it's amazing! So I started off with a Demon Spellcaster, with the Peaceful Keepsake, and I'm currently in my second week in my first summer, with Nel'vari just being unlocked for about a week in-game. I won't touch much on relationships, multiplayer, or npc's, as I tend to be a hermit when I play and I don't talk much to others - but I have been completing requests! Things I liked: - Being able to right-click with the hoe to get seeds back and un-till the soil - Being able to see sell prices for items without a mod (it's the price for the whole stack of items, but right-click and you'll grab just one item, and it'll show you the sell amount for it) - The skill trees, and how there were a lot of good options to choose from - The pets in the game are adorable, and I like that they can follow you around (and that there's a skill that makes it beneficial) - I enjoy that the museum is split into bundles similar to the Community Centre in Stardew, but with the items (and fish) on display - don't forget to talk to the guy at the desk for more rewards! - How you can pick from an array of additional bonus items when completing a quest or request (and that doing requests are very much worth doing) - I actually like how the DLC is only cosmetic, so that there's no chance at a pay-to-win/boost kind of scenario if you're ever playing with others Neutral: - I started off really not liking the fishing mini game - as I'm prone to do in most cozy games - but I started fishing for the museum and ended up really enjoying it. It became a decent way to gain mana orbs when I got to the elven area as well. - It can start to get really complicated rather fast, with so many materials, recipes, and things to focus on for each farm, so I took it slowly and didn't progress to the elven farm until I had a steady grasp on my Sun haven farm - I think going slowly is key - I love the fantasy elements going on, and a lot of the lore this game has - however, it is a little odd that there's not much dialog around me being a demon running around their town when they're afraid of the demons and monsters lol - While I really love how there's a lot of races and customization options, I do feel like there could be more added, especially when there's NPC's with options players can't have (such as Rabbit Amari). Some minor things I would've like to have seen would've been the demon tail option where the tip's on fire to change flame color with the color options (instead of just green), and more vibrant skin colors (e.g, the fire elemental skin to change color to match hair colors, such as an all blue-flame person). Things that could be better: - There were a couple pixelated blobs where some grasses should've been by summertime - I understand that ranged combat (crossbow) deals less damage because they can kill enemies before they reach you - which, fair, and the range is good - but not being able to craft your own decent crossbows like you can with swords is a little frustrating. I'm starting to get Mithril Ore in the mines (a mithril sword deals 26-34 damage) while I'm still stuck with the basic beginner crossbow (base damage is 5-7). There are a couple merchants that sell good crossbows, but they're very expensive when you can use that currency for other things earlier on. I only became aware of this after I already spent a good dozen points in the crossbow row. - While there are some tips that pop up, I feel like there could've been a few more - such as right clicking to select one of any item, or that you can click a button and any item you have in your inventory gets automatically sorted into chests with the same item in it (I do love that button, but it took me so long to discover it lol). Either way, I know some people find Stardew Valley to be a little confusing at first, and this game would be similarly confusing for them - perhaps even more so with how much there is to focus on - I have heard a little on how the developers haven't credited the artists, but I haven't fully looked into it - I do support crediting artists though, so it's a bummer that they didn't get the recognition they deserve

The game is great in alot of ways so why did i give it a no? well besides minor issues that aren't graphically glitches or just laziness like for example a hair style missing literally pixels so u can see a small unintended hole. No my issue is the optional DLC and no not the fact it just exists, no no no not even the fact that it is hidden in the game itself now to avoid a bloated dlc list that could scare off potential new players thats minor... and cowardly, No my biggest issue which is ridiculous to some people at first glance is the fact that hairstyles are locked behind a paywall as "wigs" that you can't even dye a different colour or wear normally without removing your horns or something. Now i get that the devs need to make money to keep supporting the game but the game has such poor options for hairstyles in general with some looking like complete garbage in quality & skill of the artist that its annoying that they keep releasing DLC cosmetic packs with really cool high quality items including what could hairstyles added into the base game for players to use on their characters BUT instead they are undyeable wigs that take a hair slot. Look im not stupid i know game dev is hard, takes alot of time, i appreciate a lot of the time and work that goes into the game for FREE updates and even the dlc packs BUT can the Sun Have Devs PLEASE make these hairs available as hairstyles after you purchase them instead of a wig. Atm i'm trying to add these wigs into the base game as hairstyles in different colour variations because as i mentions more than half of the hairstyles in the game atm are not up to the quality they should be and i don't want to have to make a mod because technically it would be partially stealing if i made the mod public as these wigs are required to be brought just to be obtained but they are in the games files regardless of if you own them or not.

The game itself is fun and has potential to be even better than it currently is. However the developers are more concerned about selling you cosmetic dlc bundles than actually add new content to the game and fix bugs.

Here's the thing; I like this game. It's the game that got me to actually like farming sims. I've completed it once, and was halfway through completing it again. It's charming, sweet, and as someone who doesn't like constantly grinding for things or having relationships fall off a cliff because I missed a day, I didn't mind the higher rate of heart gains or lack of perfect optimization. I had a few quibbles (mostly that marrying NPCs turned off their personalities), but overall, I loved the game. The whimsy and magic made it much more enjoyable than anything else in the genre for me; I liked working my farm with magic and really enjoyed my owlbear mount. But then I learned that the artists and musicians who made the things about the game that I loved weren't given proper credit for their work. And as much as I loved the game, I can't recommend a game made by company that shafts the people who actually did the work of making it. If the studio cares to eat crow and give the money and credit they didn't give back to the people who deserve it, I will reconsider this review.

Addictive fun! I keep losing track of time playing this in 4+ hour runs. This game is a mix of Secrets of Grindea (highly recommend if you like combat and amazing story) and Stardew Valley (which I'm not a fan of because I hate farming and being fatigued for cutting down trees). What does this game offer? 1. An Elaborate starting town which can be upgraded, and other locations to call home. 2. Massive area to build your home, farmland, and workshops 3. Plenty of NPCs to interact, trade, gift, flirt with. 4. Lots of collectibles and achievements 5. Fun engaging combat, arcade style 6. Get Exp for nearly every action you do 7. Gain wealth through various methods and yes it adds up nicely 8. Adjustable day length up to 40 real world minutes, with options to pause time when in dialogue or menus, you're supposed to get to sleep by midnight. 9. Beautiful pixel art and animations. 10. Multiple Races with racial perks and a ton of character customization options. 11. Huge map! Overall a very fun game and you can't beat it for $12!

Sun Haven is one of those really rare games that combines the pixel graphics with the farming genre. Unlike Stardew Valley where you just have two or so farms, this game has more, and you're expected to manage it all given enough time and patience. The amount of complexity in this game is something you should be ready for, and you definitely work up to making money if you're familiar with stardew. Except, there's a crafting system that requires you to know more before you're ready, but it's okay because it introduces you to things slowly and makes it possible for you to just enjoy your time with it without rushing. Of course, you can totally rush and get everything pretty quickly given you know what you're doing or have prior foreknowledge using the wiki, but you need to be careful about how much you unlock unless you don't care about the overwhelming gap of information you'll have access too. This is definitely one of those games where I'm going to be spending hours just relaxing and enjoying and taking my time to uncover the secrets of this magical world. This game has features like speeding up time in the settings that make it more enjoyable, and it also has options to shut off certain mechanics if you dislike them, tho it does stop you from experiencing certain types of content, but so far that hasn't bugged me, and it's always able to be turned back on no issue. The combat feels sort of familiar because I played Stardew Valley and it works in a similar way, though not totally the same. The combat is skill based, and it's a very general sort of skill where everything is as one, and as you attack, you gain experience once you've killed the monsters you're fighting. The same is true for other forms of experience like chopping trees, mining, and farming. Various kinds of actions are associated primarily with these three different skills and have progress perks you can gain overtime as you use them. Mining is for..well mining, but it isn't just limited to that specifically and the perks allow you to cross into crafting certain kinds of materials and resources. The same is true for the others too. Farming isn't just tending crops, it's also animal husbandry. Every time you pet your cow, you can gain experience in farming for example. All in all, this game has so much to offer, and I have only experienced a small sliver of it thus far, and that much is with hours into the game and just allowing myself to slowly unlock and explore all there is available to me. In which case, I would recommend this game if you like what you're reading here. As there is much more to it, including a relationship system, and many many many forms of crafting. So what are you waiting for? Buy your ticket to Sun Haven now!

I really enjoyed this game, don't get me wrong. I love the world and the characters and had a lot of fun playing. However, like many other people have mentioned, it's gotten incredibly buggy recently. The worst of all was that my 20-hour save file was COMPLETELY ERASED. I just started my game up one day and there were no characters for me to load into. Sadly, I've seen that other people have had this problem as well, but my character wasn't even in the backup saves like some suggested. While I'm not opposed to starting fresh (and probably will do so), having my first save where I had already made a ton of progress deleted for no reason was really discouraging.

Listen man, it's not i don't like the game, it just has a lot going on. you would think that's a good thing but so often in this game both me and people I've tried to get into it get easily overwhelmed. on older computers the game can just shit itself, absolutely ruin your computer. they are currently adding MORE things to the game which, with the already overwhelming experience, is just making it feel bloated. if you're looking for a classic relaxing farming sim i would look elsewhere. also i also i think 12 to 16 usd for cosmetic dlc i feel is crazy. i appreciate the devs not wanting to make a full player experience cost the players more money, but of all the places that SHOULD be expanded upon in game, cosmetics is one of them. more hair, more clothes, more home customization. the elementals still have hair options in the single digits. have things like events or dates with the love interests, things that could add to the game but don't inherently detract from the game experience as dlc would be amazing.

Sadly this game is nearly unplayable for me. The loading times are insanely long for some reason (I'm talking 10 minutes after sleeping, sometimes even more than that to load in a new place) and the game seems really buggy. I just started, made a new character, put a lot of effort into making them look the way I wanted them to, put down my house and bought tools from Anna... At least, I thought I did. She didn't give me anything, no seeds either. I can't do shit now, and I don't feel like creating a new character if something *this basic* can go wrong. Maybe I'll try again later. Still, I won't recommend buying it unless you're a masochist or the game gets fixed sometime soon. Shame.

I'm so so torn on this game. I want so much to be able to love it and enjoy it, but there are so many concerns and decisions made by the developer that are so frustrating. The game itself is pretty good, it's got a lot of good things going for it, but the devs really don't listen to feedback very well. There are bugs and issues that have been around way too long while they focus on more content and more DLC packs to make more money instead of polishing and perfecting the game as it is. Not to mention the terrible handling of and support for the Switch port... There are too many periods of just dead silence from the devs that are upsetting to the community and they do not address the major concerns or feedback from them. Most of these statements come from watching the discord server and the posts there for over a year now. I just wish the devs would be more open to the community and transparent about what they're working on and if things being brought up are ever going to be addressed. Just a lot of shady behavior and neglect of the community that's really put me off of what has the potential to be a great game.

Although, lot of comments mentioned above is true, this game has huge potentials and delicate UI and designed Art. More contents should be added in this game and make different areas connected more tight. As FOR the characters in this game , more detailed description need to be put in the daily talks and the life . And for the baby care, I think the developer could add more ideas about it . And for the angle and ocean map, I dont know what i can do when i walk through it. Above all,the main quest line and the cloths ,furniture, backpack can be more! Please put more attention on translation. You could be better after solving the problems !

Sun haven is a really great game with numerous bugs that make the game unplayable. I would expect this issue with early access games but for a fully released game it's disappointing. Every new update introduces a different bug that's fixed after a long wait. I just want to play with my girlfriend please, right now we can't play co-op because of a bug that stuck the time for one of us resulting to no save and therefore wasted effort.

It's difficult not to compare Sun Haven to Stardew Valley, though unfortunately Sun Haven has wronged a few rights from SD. The dialogue and character development- and designs come across a little lacklustre, progression flow feels messy and the key system in the mines is annoying (and the slow mining cart animation for every single floor…) and unlike in Stardew I don't enjoy mining in this game whatsoever. I also find there are too many items at any given time. But, I like how you can craft from any chest in the same room, and how you can "sort all" of the same item from your (much too small) backpack into chests. Over to the positives, it's an atmospheric and cozy game I've enjoyed very much. It's soothing and beautiful, the world design and decoration options are where this game really comes into its own. I like how the fishing game is different, I love the soundtrack and the different farms, pets and decorations and have got some good hours of enjoyable playtime out of Sun Haven.

I have mixed feelings about this game. I really enjoy the skill tree and overall gameplay loop but feel like the characters and romance lack some depth. The game also feels a bit overwhelming with the amount of content and stuff you can do, maybe because I like a clearer vision of what you're supposed to do and when. Some players might like it but I feel overwhelmed. Also the controversies regarding the developers are sus so I have to leave a negative review even though I have poured hours into this game.

I had a great time with Sun Haven at first, unfortunatelly it doesn't take long to notice everything, especially past the first town, is a deep as a puddle. Despite this, the devs went with more is better approach and pump out DLC over fixing things or addressing issues. In general doesn't take much to dig up various shady accusations towards the devs. tl;dr - Buy on sale if you really want to, just don't expect a finished product.

1. Each update introduces numerous new bugs. Fix one issue, and ten more break. 2. No professional translators were hired. Instead, the devs simply provided players with a messy Google Sheet containing all in-game dialogues and asked them to translate it. Despite players investing significant time to translate, these translations were barely implemented. The devs claim the translations are applied, but in reality, less than half are reflected in the game. Most text remains filled with poor machine translations—often worse than Google Translate. 3. Multiplayer is practically unplayable due to pervasive bugs. Basic functions are missing: - No shared quest progression - Bosses must be defeated individually by each player - Festivals occur separately - Mana and health bugs are common - Most notably, if multiple players marry different NPCs, spouses get mixed up — your wife ends up as my wife, your husband as my husband. Overall, the game is effectively an unfinished product falsely presented as a full release.

It's sad to see such a great game mired in controversy. I heard about this game through a few channels before finally deciding to buy it. Just before I did, I discovered the controversies surrounding it and opted out for a long while. Recently, it was on sale, and being as I was bored with the games I had been playing decided to overlook the issues and purchase it anyway. Only 20 hours in, and I gotta say, it's really phenomenal game within it's genre. As others have said, it's a lot like Stardew Valley. That said, it's got quite a bit more content than stardew, with a much more straight forward storyline. There's a greater focus on combat, and a wider variety of content in general. Stardew definitely has the edge when it comes to modding, but aside from that, I'd say this game beats it just about every category, except for polish. This game definitely has bugs. In 20 hours, I've seen a fair few, though they've been almost exclusively related to graphics, and none have been game breaking. At most, I've had to exit to the main menu a couple times and reload, and since this game lets you save whenever, unlike Stardew, that's hardly a major issue. There are a ton of DLC's, which is only really an issue in light of the fact that they haven't polished the game, since it indicates they're more interested in farming players for cash than delivering a quality product. That said, the DLC's are all cosmetics. Frankly, this is the way DLC's should be. Nothing that effects gameplay. No pay-to-win nonsense. Just a bunch of outfits, mounts, furniture, etc, all of which have vanilla alternatives that work just fine, and look good in their own right. All that out of the way, Stardew Valley was made by one guy, and among the controversies surrounding this game is the fact that this game was not only not developed by a single guy, but also not a "small team" as the head of the studio would have people believe. Rather, they've had countless people work on the game and it's assets, and simply don't credit them for their work. All in all, it's up to you whether you should play it or not. I wouldn't say the controversies are so bad as to warrant a strict "never support this studio" stance, but it's bad enough that some people may not want to. It's worth noting, at least some of the artists who've been screwed by the studio have publicly stated that it's fine to enjoy the game despite their issues with the studio. For some, that may be all it takes to overlook the matters. It is genuinely a great game, and it's a shame the dev isn't more responsible.

As someone who fell in love with Stardew Valley, I really love this game too. Iove the whole magical aspect the game is, the love interests, the gameplay and graphics. It's important to keep in mind though that there are a few bugs in this game, personally I haven't encountered anything major but they're still present. For example, characters randomly walking over structures, crafted items sometimes disappearing, etc. I know there's a lot of controversy with the devs too and I totally understand if you wouldn't play this game cause of it. (You can watch a few video essays on youtube if you're curious.) The game itself is pretty fun.

Sun Haven is perhaps the most in-depth pixel RPG game I have ever played. I have heard about the poor business practices of the studio but this review is solely focusing on game-play. Gameplay wise I have not played a more in-depth pixel game. There are so many areas to explore and quests to unlock new areas and new types of farm produce/equipment. It makes things very fun. Tons of ways to earn cosmetics in-game without buying DLC. Just a huge scope of a game with many NPCs to talk to a build relationship with and visit their houses. Only issues I've had are with occasional stuttering/laggy framerate in some areas and this is despite a high-end gaming laptop. I recommend turning shadows off due to the poor optimization.

Sun Haven is such a beautiful blend of cozy farming life and magical adventure. From the very start, it pulls you into a world that feels both familiar and fantastical with lush environments, charming characters, and just the right mix of relaxing gameplay and story progression. I love how customizable everything is from your character to your home and farm. The game really lets you make the world your own. The farming and crafting systems are easy to get into but deep enough to keep you coming back. And the fact that it’s all set in a world full of magic, dragons, and fantasy creatures makes it feel so unique compared to other cozy games. The quests are enjoyable to complete, and the dialogue with the townspeople is surprisingly rich. There’s a lot of heart in this game. The romance options are inclusive and thoughtful, and the fantasy story lines add a special layer of immersion. Even without trying the multiplayer yet, I’ve had a peaceful, addictive experience. If you love games like Stardew Valley but want more magic and adventure, I recommend giving Sun Haven a try.

There is several ways to play the game to give you a little bit of a different play style each time, several maps, several npc stories/ lore, and very immersive.

Sun Haven is a very cutesy, very cozy farming sim with many possible romances and great story telling. My biggest gripe is the constant updates that break my QOL mods. But what can ya do? Overall great game. And like fishing in this is top tier once you get your ability.

It receives major updates still after 2 years! Its a great farm sim with good combat, romance, bosses, and seasonal (In game seasons) objectives to do with your friends!

Like most people have said, it's pretty similar to most farming games, the story is okay, the relationships are pretty interesting until marriage then it's kinda like Stardew, boring and can't do much with them. No more dates, special conversations, nor do they help around the farm. I don't like how often the game relies on bundles for things, especially near the end. My number one complaint besides how buggy it can be is, Withergate itself, really? Demons and Monsters and all they could think to do was make it Halloween town? REALLY? I honestly can't say I vibe with it, Withergate through all the talk in the game about it and how creepy it seemed to be, the reveal for it was super underwhelming. Don't get me started on the currency for the different realms. Gold, Mana and Tickets. Each one a little harder to earn than the last. The game has a bunch of negatives and positives, all in all, it's not bad and worth the price. Crafting, skill building and combat is fine. I would say it's at least worth trying it out. So, do I recommend it? Yeah. Do I also recommend reading a handful of reviews before buying to get more info? Yeah.

My fav farming sim by far, I enjoy every character and the storyline. I've played the game dozens of times and adore it everytime.

I liked this game. Sometimes there were some obvious rip offs of other games (Like Stardew Valley which I love), but some of them it was more like honoring the other games. I don't love that "hanging out" and becoming good friends and spending time with people makes it an automatic "date". Not too into the "Amari" side of things. Stardew just had regular peoples. Sometimes I don't like that choices given in regards to responding to situations or npcs... but overall not a bad game! It's fun.

It’s a paranormal version of stardew so it’s better right off the bat. I don’t have to grind for purple gear before I can efficiently water large plots, and I can move around quickly. I also don’t understand how such a cozy game gets “overwhelming” but I guess planting things gets stressful

I love this game, and I have a detailed list. If you wouldn't mind, entertain this person. Pros: Pixel art (Idk what's up, but pixel art is relaxing to me) No bugs (that Iv'e encountered) MAGIC Character Customazation ROMANCE a wide variety of CHARACTERS *Sometimes Non-Violent* BOSS BATTLES Seasonal fairs/celebrations farming World Exploration Cons Possible Bugs?(Never encountered any tho) I wish we had a better variety of NPC intertwining relations (Rival marriages, Break ups, Etc.) That's all!

As a casual gamer, I am super obsessed. I play this game while walking on the treadmill and the 40min day really helps to get you by. There is so much to do, even if you binge hours on it. I like that customization is not locked behind real money and I can change whenever I want, so long as I have the barber shop fixed. Its fun to play with friends and quite the bonding experience ( my friend group has a running joke about havenite and selling items we might need....). But overall, highly recommend, a great way to decompress after a long day and it doesn't really pressure you to get things done daily.

I honestly LOVE this game!! You always have a lot to do and the story doesn't rush you at all. I really appreciate the cozy atmosphere the devs gave to it. You can take all the time you want to keep progressing in the story and build a stable foundation before deciding to continue on to other parts of the map, which I'm totally down for. The graphics are also very different from other games of this genre and it kind of makes it more attractive. This game surely is a breath of fresh air from everything I'e seen so far.

If you liked Star Dew Valley, you will love this. It also has the addition of quests and has this addictive, just one more day quality about it. Increase days to 40 minutes, turn off seasonal pests and focus on grinding combat skills, then mining, then farming and dating and community board quests and then the main quest line. I will continue to enjoy this for many more hours.
