How it feels

A warm, stress-free journey through a colorful world where you casually salvage resources, make friends, and fish in lava pools at your own pace.

What players say

Players call it a cute and relaxing game with a strong focus on collecting and upgrading gear, but note it is short at around 6 hours and lacks anything that really stands out. Reviews compare it to Garden Story and praise its story and puzzles.
