Yet again they dumped the toughest job on you. Now you are on a Shinehill Island, where you suddenly replaced one of the new residents. Explore the world, meet charming townspeople, do farming, fishing, cooking and try not to reveal yourself.
Players can grow a variety of crops on their plot of land. The farming mechanics prioritize simplicity over grinding, with resources like trees, rocks, and forageables replenishing daily. This streamlines the resource-gathering process compared to other farming sims.
One of the standout features is the fishing minigame. Players partake in a timing-based challenge, inputting arrows within a given timeframe to reel in their catch. Reviewers praise this unique, enjoyable take on fishing that doesn't overstay its welcome.
Cooking and experimenting with recipes is a rewarding activity. Players can try to find everyone's favorite dishes, adding depth to the core gameplay loop.
The game encourages players to explore the world of Shinehill Island, including delving into long-abandoned dungeons rumored to hide secrets. This element of discovery and exploration is highlighted as intriguing.
A unique twist is the player's alien identity, which requires maintaining a disguise. Reviewers note this alien aspect adds an interesting narrative and gameplay layer to the farming simulation formula.
The inclusion of quirky, "Undertale"-style minigames is praised. The overall tone embraces the extraterrestrial premise in a silly and endearing way, keeping the experience lighthearted.
Despite being in Early Access, the game runs smoothly, even on platforms like the Steam Deck. Reviewers mention only encountering minor bugs, commending the overall technical stability.
