An Idle game that I have to keep running is not an idle game. If you are expecting an Idle game, this is not it. Granted, for what it is, it was worth the small price of admission. Dev drastically changed the game in the middle of my play-through for balancing reasons. It took me nearly 4 days of running it 24/7 to get through the content. If I had to play all that active, I would not have made it anywhere near the end.

However, as I stated, I had to run it the entire time. If you shut the game off, it does not calculate anything upon return, which is why, in my opinion, it is not an idle game.

Terrible starting experience. I spent 20 minutes looking for fiber, required from flax plants, and could not find any. The microscopic inventory was also terrible to try and deal with. Hated every second of this game because of it (seed or not, terrible experience).

Update: I left my original review up top. Turns out there is "search" feature which was bugged when I played. 80 hours later, I am still playing. Game is fantastic and one of the most enjoyable survivalcraft games I have every played. While the AI could use improvements (such as not bringing seeds back and throwing them on the ground in base), overall, the experience is pleasurable. I just completed my 5th winter and still much to be discovered.

This port is terrible. It has crashed on me 6 times in 3 hours of gameplay. I am on the latest nvidia drivers and there is 0 reasons why my 4000 series GPU should not be handling this, other than terrible port.

Edit: With an additional 7 hours of troubleshooting and Googling, I got it playable (in about 1 hour increments), but unacceptable, and still freezes. Fullscreen mode, with Win 8 compat mode, with medium level graphics means I do not crash because of shaders anymore. It looks like terrible donkey poop. There are
0 excuses why my 4080 16GB card can not handle this. Per GPU-Z, the games crashes out-of-memory when my GPU has only used 9GB of RAM. I have 96 GB of system memory. My rig should more than be able to handle this game.

Excellent game! Fun to play alone or with friends.

Game is riddled with bugs, especially in late game. For an exponentially scaling game, having 0 overflow handling means eventually, the game becomes broken beyond fixing (even Rebirth and Ascension cannot fix it). Use candies to advanced time frequently comes with consequences of losing items, secrets, etc.

The developer has 0 interest in fixing this game. I cannot recommend.
