What players say

Players are split on Below Sunshade. Many criticize its obscure quests, repetitive fetch-quest loop, and a strict 30-day timer that makes exploration feel rushed. Others enjoy the survival and combat despite the grind, and praise the art and voice acting. Long-time players say development appears to have stalled.
