Game Summary
For me personally, I found the game very hard to get into, at first I couldn’t place why, but then I realized, I felt completely disconnected from my villagers. It is very hard to get a grasp on what is going on, how much is being produced and from where, everything works, but just doesn’t feel connected in any way. Maybe I just missed some UI elements, but something was off. For those that are really into this style of game, you probably won’t have that issue.
