How it feels

A nostalgic and slow-paced adventure where you gather, craft, fight, and explore a village and its secrets.

What players say

Players split on this cheap RPG maker title. Some praise the fishing and low price, but most point to a lack of story, repetitive farming, impossibly tough early battles, and a short 5-hour playthrough. The fishing minigame is often called frustrating and poorly explained.
