How it feels

A gentle, meditative life sim where you explore an alien world at your own pace, build relationships, and create art while cultivating crops.

What players say

Players praise the unique gene splicing mechanic and inclusive polyamory system, but many find the game shallow and short on content after the early game. The pacing is off, with social relationships outlasting the farming gameplay, and the mixed pixel art style draws criticism.
