For a free game, I really can't complain much. Chill, relaxing atmosphere and gameplay; nice pixelart and music, story is nothing special but the voice acting is a welcome addition. Not too long. Give it a play!
Art is a 10/10. Sound Effect are a 9/10. Sounds sort of come out of nowhere sometimes. That dog kept scaring me. 2/10 UI from a mechanics perspective. Exclamation point bubbles were showing through the bookstore walls, and navigation was terrible. I dont see why I have to have shop open to move things around. The minigames were interesting enough short term, but the recycling one didnt make sense. Why did I recycle a turtle and dog poop and cinder blocks. Those arent recyclable.
I really wish there were little people moving around like in Zoo Tycoon. Its kind of disheartening to have books just disappear without any visual reward. Overall, it was a good use of my time, and I look forward to seeing more from the dev, particularly the artist
Thank you for your awesome support during the release of the Novel Haven videogame! We loved the countless feedback, bug-reports and reviews! To celebrate the announcement of the english version and the new spinoff series "The Panthers" and to say 'thank you' to you all we prepared a small panthers-update for Novel Haven!

Use the new visibility-layer to decorate the exterior of your lighthouse and let your lighthouse shine in the Panthers' colors! You can show and hide the exterior of the tower using the PDA in the top-right corner."Novel Haven - Levels of Love" can be pre-ordered and will release on August 4, 2026!
