What players say

Players praise it as a relaxing, low-stress adventure about metal detecting for relics. Many note it is short, around 12 hours, and some wish for more content. Common complaints include a few bugs and sparkles that are hard to see on the beach. The pixel art and no-timers gameplay appeal to those wanting a cozy experience.
