  I won't give this a thumbs down. It is better, for me, than any pixel graphic farming sim. That said, I am rage quitting because of beavers. I enjoyed a lot of it but it just gets annoying. I can't tell which alpacas are male, the rats eat all the hay, the stamina takes ages to refresh, and it takes half the day to collect fruit. I have mixed feelings, really. It was a mildly infuriating 14 hours but there was always something to do. If the beavers ever get less difficult to corral, I'll be back.

  Managed to finish it before official 'launch' so here goes: This is another farming sim with a hint of the mystical behind it. As you venture off to your Grandparents' dilapidated farm, your character becomes a bit of a Dr. Doolittle with a twist. Pace is just right for the casual gamer (though if you want to stop mid-day, you need to do a manual save) and days go by languidly giving you enough time to set up your farm, forage, fish etc. Pros: - Decent variety of animals, bugs, fish and frogs to keep you busy for a bit; the 3 breed tiers are great for longer games, but you can absolutely get by on the basic Tier 1 animals buying, breeding, and selling - Days go by slowly, giving you plenty of time to do what you need to do and explore for a bit - Droughts, while annoying, still give you the option of getting water elsewhere and still gives you time to do your pattern of dailies - Stamina is limited at first, but you can grow it as you learn cooking recipes - You can pet the chonky animals, even the wild deer and boars - Trees and crops are easy to dig up and move, customize what you want - Crafting recipes aren't "expensive" material wise - You can ride multiple animals (though some won't want to be ridden!) - Easy to find and make 'free foraging money' for early upgrades. Honestly if you explore, you find a lot of things you need for later builds free. - Wardrobe is just enough to be a thing, limited in styles but honestly a kid shouldn't be a dress-up diva in a farm sim. - Hidden quests (like the Contaminated pond) pop up in places. Cons: - The dog whistle for herding is... challenging to use. Even altering left and right easily, it's hard getting domestic animals (and in a late case, wild ones) to go where you want them to. I found it easier to pet them every 20 seconds or so, so they'd follow you. Much easier. - Horse navigation is clunky. You guide their direction with your mouse and it's third person view. The sprint speed tends to make them go off hard left or hard right sometimes with no discerning reason other than you breathed a little tough in that direction. (There's a mini-game that actually feels LESS clunky, but not much) - The map size. It starts small, but my goodness it gets positively massive when you start getting near endgame. Have a tent handy to sleep outside easily otherwise the 'spooky wolves' will be out to get you. I'd say use the horse to get around faster if it wasn't as clunky to use as previously stated. - Geese. The hit-box on these are questionable and sometimes you get stunned even though they're a good two sword lengths away from you. I find running around a rock and then returning to dig for the white X rocks for 'collectibles' was my path of least resistance. Sometimes I was able to get first strike on the geese using this 'fleeing' pattern - Bees. Be careful with your food supply when around these things. While you can use heavy ingredient recipes to boost your max stamina, if you're stung by bees, your 'semi-permanent' max health gets nerfed each time you get stung. You have to basically munch on high-ingredient/high-refined foods to get it back after being attacked. Sometimes the bee smoker doesn't work when you go to retrieve honey (range detection issue) or when you go to catch forest bees for the first time, you're gonna get stung once or twice alternating between net and bee smoker. - Weeds. The detection on the shovel tip can be... trying. I found coming in on the side of the plot and aligning the tip with weeds that grow in between or under your crops are easily removed this way. Sometimes it's impossible to find the right angle and you have to dig up that crop to 're-start' its growth cycle after you clear the weed that was stuck under it. - Exploration gating: You will not be able to go corner to corner early. Nails are given to you after key dreams or conversations with your grandparents happen, don't go looking for them or to craft them. - Mountain Goating can get you stuck in places (I have a Screenshot where I managed to get outside the map and I'm doing a hard staredown at a wolf well past 10 pm. I had to let the wolf get me so that I'd respawn at the farm. Minus the few clunky navigation issues, this was a short farm sim time waster that has a cute story and interesting 'mini-games' with all sorts of animals.

  Really fun, simple farming simulator that is very relaxing to play and there is always something to do around the farm. Well optimized too.

  First off, I've been playing this game predominantly on the SteamDeck. I really like it, its cute and cozy and even if you aren't directly advancing the main quest there so much to do around the place. However There are a few gripes, specifically on SteamDeck, the workbench does not scroll through the items properly, it will always keep the last two items below the screen , they can be accessed, but not seen, this has been consistent so far. I have also had a bit of a bug where I couldn't use the d-pad through my inventory, acted like it was frozen however a save and reload did fix that. Some things you come across before the game ever tells you about them and can be a little confusing. There are small differences between PC and SD such as the milking mechanic filling up much quicker on PC. The scene where you're chasing wolves away from your sheep is not fun as they tend to do quite a bit of damage to your farm which is frustrating. I do wish I could more things around the farm but overall despite the small bugs and issues I still really enjoyed the game, I love running around and exploring the map is huge and I've yet to unlock even half of it. I tend to take my games quite slowly and I intend to put plenty more hours into this. Excited to see updates and patches.

  To me, the graphics, music, and sounds were a great fit for the genre, and the game has potential. But have you ever played a game where all of the controls just feel slightly off, and there's a major disconnect between you and the game as a result? That's this game for me. One of the key elements to a farming sim game is making sure gathering of any kind is borderline cathartic. It's tedious by nature, so make it a fun experience, where every time you do something it adds to the fun. This game felt more like every time I did something, it made it slightly less fun, which is sad, because like I said, loads of potential. With some time to bake I will definitely give it another try and update this review.

  I love this game, but it lacks a bit of balance; Sometimes you'll get flooded with quests, then suddenly find yourself waiting a few in-game days for a single one or grinding for money to complete one. Especially the money part seems a bit unbalance, at least in the first part of the game where I'm currently at. The friendship with the cat and dog also deteriorates too fast which means their "mini-games" becomes boring, very quickly. I've yet to understand the whistle feature for the dog, but this could be a me-problem. Despite a few minor complaints, I do really enjoy this game! The super cute animals, especially the oversize dog, just makes me smile. This game feels new and fresh. The dreaming and small mini-games are nice features that brings something new to the game and they fits right in. You can costumize a lot around the farm and I can see myself spending hours on this alone. I'm personally not a fan of having to "befriend" a whole village, like most of these type of games have, but there are no human friendship/marrige status in this and I really love that. It also adds to the relaxing atmosphere, that you don't have to keep track of favorite gifts etc. Overall this is a super relaxing and very cute game that I would highly recommened! - Played with Xbox One Wireless controller.

  This game is both loveable and frustrating. After about 20 hours, I've hit a sort of doldrums with the game. All the time spent previously has been enjoyable, but the unpolished aspects are starting to sour the experience over time. Inventory management is difficult, with limited on-hand and storage space. Needs a quick-sort option, and some way to select multiple items for storage/sale at once. The "Sort" button doesn't tuly sort but consolidate empty spaces, and my inventory menu jumps around while selling to the merchant. That said, I like the exploration and discovery. And the variety of animals is appreciated! I'm at the point now however where most of my quests seem to be, "bring this (increasingly far-away and by now, sick) animal back to the farm." Even though I generally don't have too much trouble with the herding mechanic, I'm starting to feel those diminishing returns with the gameplay loop. I'd like to see more content added (more craftables/customization options), QoL fixes, plus some rebalancing (I'm going through way too much hay, just adopting storyline animals). I'll probably continue to spend time in Everdream Valley, which is why I'm choosing "recommend," and why I'm posting my review here. Hopefully some of the issues I've identified here can be addressed, because the charm and appeal of this game is undeniable.

  This game has issues - and until they are resolved, I unfortunately can't recommend it. The good: - Cute graphics - good ideas (potential) - some interesting mechanics (i.e. training your dog) - charm The "if they don't fix this, it's not a game": - Tutorialization quests like "Milk the cow" do not recognize if you did the action prior to accepting the quest (You have to wait until you can gather the demanded resource again which can take a few in-game days.) - Some quests are simply bugged. I.e. there's one where you need to lead the cat to a tree to get a rooster to come down. My cat's trained but it simply won't trigger. - Sometimes items randomly vanish instead of going to your inventory. The "QoL improvements that the devs will hopefully consider, 'cause this game could be great": - Too many tools. You get a toolbar with the usual 10 slots on the numbers keys - only there's far more tools and knick-knacks, you need: Hammer, Wooden Sword, Axe, Whistle, Basket, Empty Jug, ... the list goes on and on. At the moment, the gameplay involves WAY too much "open inventory, switch items in toolbar, close inventory". - Controls - Most interactions are on "F". That includes chopping trees just as much as consuming whatever you are holding. I can't count the amount of times I accidentally consumed an item, demolished a fence or did other unintended actions because focussing on objects is finnicky. The controls should get playtested in some form and optimized because at the moment it's often a pain to interact with the world. - Map - this is just a personal opinion but this game would really profit from custom map markers. As it stands the map gives very little information and it's pretty easy to end up in the middle of nowhere. Also, workbenches should have icons on the map once the player has found them - they're spread far and wide across the farm and that makes navigation tedious at times. - Geese are hyper-aggressive. You usually don't really see them coming due to the tall grass and before you know it you're being chased for way too long and too far by rabid poultry. - The tutorialization and exposition need work. Half the time the game doesn't properly explain what you need to do and a lot of mechanics are locked behind tutorial quests that don't acknowledge stuff many players figure out on their own. - There should at least be 1-2 more face shapes with a more narrow chin available. It's a great idea to make the player's gender not a selection but an aesthetic but for that to work it should be possible to look feminine and the current face shapes are lacking in that area. I have hope for this game because there's some clearly good ideas here - and some that set this one apart from other games of its genre. But without some QoL improvements it'll end up as another dream of a game that could have been. Edit: Another bugged quest is the primrose flower field for me. It says to pick up 10 pieces of trash but there's nothing besides two cans.

  This is an adorably cozy farming sim, where you spend the summer helping your grandparents bring their farm back to life. Unfortunately I can not recommend this one for a couple reasons. 1. The idea of the nightly dreams sounds like a good one but I did not enjoy the repetitiveness of the simple games, thankfully these are skippable "press Q". 2.Stamina. You increase your stam by eating cooked meals. In the beginning I would try to eat cooked food but it didn't work. Not sure if this was a bug or if it was time gated. Eventually I was able to increase my stam by eating and finally raised it from 1 bar to 5 bars. After bar 5 the game told me I needed meals with more ingredients but you find the recipes under stones guarded by geese (it's not always a recipe either) and I think it may be random. The system is very ambiguous which can lead to frustration. 3. You have to hook up your sprinklers, so if you use them you have ugly wires and hoses all over your farm. 4. If you upgrade your animals the only benefit you get is more work. You will now have to milk and shear every day, instead of every two or three. To me it would have been better to keep it at every three but you just get more. 5. There is nothing to spend your money on. I did not want to upgrade my animals, so other than that there is not much to buy. 5. The dreaded beaver quest. This made me rage quit. I could tolerate the other things but this one sent me over the edge. Ultimately this wonderfully cozy game is marred by some really frustrating game mechanics. Each by itself would be tolerable but added together.... I will say, that devs are very responsive and helpful but the game is not in EA and I don't really see the main mechanics of the game changing too drastically. If these things don't sound like a problem for you, then get the game. It's very cute and wholesome.
