(Scroll down for the detailed verdict)

a patch is needed for all adult contents.
this is a harvest moon type game that is designed with freedom of expressions. you can play as a male or a female and you can have same sex partners. (i've only played as the male so i'm not sure what's changed with the female. maybe i'll update this review once i get the chance to try her. but this game is a slow burn so it might take a while before i try her.)
the game follows monogamy laws so once you have locked in a person as a lover, you are locked in. but as long as you didn't claim a lover, all potential partners are fair game to a certain extent (what do you expect? you are not their lover. but this is what is written in the notes at the library).
the number of plots of land for farming is limited to 12 plots per land expansion upgrade.
vigor which is stamina in this game is very important. it is mostly used to feed your spirit beasts.
spirit beasts are humanoid versions of the farm animals. chickens are phoenixes, cows are tauruses and sheep are aries.
as a male, there are 2 way to feed them. normal feed and blowjobs .difference is, normal feed doesn't increase their affections.
at the start of the game, you have a barn that house only 2 tauruses so i prioritize getting 2 females as they gives 2 resources. after that, i built the eyries, it say it can house 6 phoenixes so i bought 5 females but when i tried to buy a male, it says there are no space left. so my farm doesn't have any males for me to test at the moment.
that said, vigor is very important so increasing it's max value is a must. to do that, you have to eat vitality fruits (i haven't found any at the moment), have sex or if you have enough vigor, masturbate when you go to bed. if you didn't do any of these actions, your max vigor value will decrease.
to recover vigor, you can eat food you cooked yourself or eat at the restaurant and once a day, you can go to the hot spring for a full recovery. eating at the restaurant depends on what options you choose. a quick meal heals 20%, chef recommendation 50% and full course 100%.
there is an easy mode when you start the game. it gives you enough resources to upgrade all your tool to max level, making collecting resources a breeze. 100k money and magic that increase affections (you can't use it because your max vigor is too low to cast it).
this game is a slow burn. despite my playtime of nearly 3 hrs, i'm only at day 12. writing a full in-depth review will require some time.
will update this review later.

# update 1.
male phoenixes also lays eggs?! make that make sense!
this game is really slow going. 9 hrs in and i just complete spring.

NOTE PLEASE: THIS GAME REQUIRES A PATCH. STEAM IS STRICT WITH ITS POLICIES ON H-GAMES.

Don't let my time fool you. I play tested this for free and still bought it.

This game is great. It is an H game and there are scenes that depict you getting busy making Abe from heaven beam with pride.

This is one of the most wholesome H-games i have ever played. Every relationship you cultivate is unique and deep. One is about a girl finding love after being abandon and lonely, Another is about a man who beauty made him fear attention from others and made him wall off others. Another is about a person who afraid they may never find love due to their unique birth. and many more. The relationship you build will be deep and heartwarming that will def require replays to get each unique love story. As you can only romance one lover (except one that is unique and could count as two.). No harems here friend. There is also heart warming affection building for other character you cant romance but you help build there walled off hearts or help couples find more "spicy" love.

The farming and ranching requires proper care. The Sprits are what you Ranch and multiple options exist to "feed" them. Not properly taking care of your spirits can lead to sad times. The farming is different each season and is used for selling, making food and also sometimes trading or minigames. There are also unique plants that can be grown into special use items to increase your max vigor or stamina. Cooking is also a feature.

Affection can also be raised for certain characters and the most obvious thing is giving them gifts. As you raise their affection you unlock more personal data about them such as birth days and dialogue that might give hints to their favorite gifts and secret sometimes about other characters. Affection is the main mechanic to get into a relationship with certain character. check the library for more details. tutorial of sorts.

There is also resource gathering with wood, flowers, stone and gems. Some of these are absolute needed for relationship and story progression.

There are four seasons and each season has it specific crops. Each season also has its own events and minigames usually for each event. (Strangely enough one called thanksgiving oddly looks like Halloween).

The story itself is kinda tear jerker little bit, really pulls on the heart strings but don't worry it has a happy ending.

So just to be clear:

NOT: NUKIGE. HAREM.

This game is a long burn and long haul. Even after the main story their is post game content involving your direct actions. This is a very lovey dovey game.
