It really is a cozy 10/10 game.
What was the reason? I watched the game’s promo video and it looks fun, but like … just also a lot? Like its trying to cram a whole bunch of things into one, and I was almost stressed just watching the video seeing all the things to manage.
It develops pretty gradually and is a much bigger game than it seems from the cover but it also gradually adds things to automate a lot of the things that you have to do manually and just keeps growing. I’m just over 35 hours in and about 75% complete (I think). Even though there’s a lot to do in a day there’s no real time pressure because time doesn’t really pass except when you do start a dive or open the restaurant. You always get two dives in the day (and an optional one at night) and then open the restaurant.
There’s a little of that for sure. I wonder if focusing the game down to its component parts might have made for a more satisfying experience, at least for me.
It’s not a bad game at all, I just decided I’d rather spend my limited game time elsewhere.
