I don’t usually write reviews but I saw that this game didn’t have any and felt I needed to rectify that!

Great game! I played the demo and couldn’t wait to get the full version. The game is very cozy like Townscaper but I already prefer this over that game. It offers more options to create like building in the Sims. I cannot recommend this game enough!

Additionally, if my review isn’t enough. The fact that it is $5 and heavily repayable. I’ve paid more for less polished games that aren’t even remotely repayable so give it a shot!

(Played on Steam Deck in handheld mode, this game should be Steam Deck verified. It has full controller support and an in-game keyboard so thank you to the devs for having that available at launch!)

My primary reason for buying this game was to support a South Indian solo dev because I hardly see any of us in fields like this. However, I'm happy to say it's definitely worth the money and is an adorable little game to unwind with.
It's what it says it is, a stress free builder with cute little plant friends to keep you company and as someone who loves to build in games like the Sims, this was right up my alley! 100% worth the money for the replayability and the general lack of pressure such as quests, currency and even the tutorial is 5 seconds long at most.

What spoke to me most about the game though, is the reflection of the developers heritage (a heritage that I share!) in little details of the game. It is so wonderful and a little emotional to see indian dishes that I have grown up with as food options for gourdlets to eat and interact with, mementos of indian pastimes like the carrom board and even slang terms like the mixer being called a mixy. The game was incredibly cute already but the little details really made it for me!

It's a great little game at a great little price and I hope so see things like more rooms or more floors to buildings in future updates to keep the possibilities going!

This is cute and whatever, but it's so open and directionless I find it difficult to enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I love designing and decorating, but it would be nice to be able to interact with the gourdlets or have some chill quest options or something. I don't know, maybe I'll end up coming back to it when I just want to build or whatever, but it lacks any kind of hook to keep my interest.

[1.0.2f] Certain types of corrupt savefiles will now load

362 days ago
This is a quick follow-up to my previous patch: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/2013730/view/810198487112095150 In that patch, I solved an issue that arose when a gourdlet who was on a building’s guest list was deleted, but anyone who ran into that issue prior to my fix would have ended up with a corrupted savefile. In this patch, I wrote an update that fixes those corrupted savefiles. With this patch, no action is needed by the user, and the previously corrupted savefile should just work!
