“Pros: - gameplay is like virtual villagers x halloween; - cheap; - i think it has big potential if they decide to solve the bugs. Big cons: - very buggy to the point it messes up your progress, I had to restart the game to somehow play it…”
“It could have been a nice cosy game, but instead it is a slow game where you have to wait for the next quest before you can move forward, because if you do move forward independently, when you eventually get a quest for something you have…”
