I loved this game and would be excited to see any future content for it perhaps in a DLC.

I liked the atmosphere and the beginning stages but for the life of me, I cannot get past the run scene due to shift being the key to run alongside a WASD movement feature. Being able to reset keybindings for this would be optimal. Probably great on console but not so grand on PC.

I adore this game and have been counting down the days from the demo stage to early access. It's everything I want in a living sim: charm, story and creepiness! I can't wait to see it grow and become even more brilliant than it is.

It’s a good game so far. The only aspect I’m really struggling with is only being able to carry a certain amount of a type of item at a time. It really slows down setting up the homestead such as when starting to farm and not being able to hold too many food items. It also limits the rewards of exploration. When going to the meadery, I couldn’t find any more materials and therefore couldn’t loot any of the bars found there.

I really loved this game! It was chill to play. My only critique is that the frequency of combat can get a bit tedious after a while so spacing those out might make it more engaging.

I really wanted to enjoy this game but the mechanics are far too many and not well balanced. Having to go through each diagnostic tool multiple times can become tiresome and sometimes you have to even if the treatment is clear because otherwise you might miss a hallucination (eg when using a magnifying glass). It’s a lot to keep up with and becomes more frustrating than fun when you’re being punished for understanding basic treatments but not using an every single diagnostic tool at your disposal.

Should have come out as early access imo.

I really enjoyed the concept and found the premise to be really cool and enjoyed trying to figure out treatments. I did however find the balancing of some of the mechanics a little confusing, especially when there appeared to be multiple symptoms present (eg saying they had a cough but also visibly had a cold sweat) and trying to balance it with the humour aspect. I sometimes nailed the (humour-ographer?) and other times my patients just died and the game might benefit from having it explained more clearly or even removed because I'd have a streak of thinking I'd finally understood it to losing all my patients (even if I made sure they weren't allergic to the medicine). Having a little less might make the game more engaging rather than having to flick through so many book pages and I could see how someone would become frustrated by getting so many deaths. Overall, great art, great concept, just less is more mechanic-wise.

I adored this demo and was so disappointed when it ended. I can't wait for the full version!

A cute little game, if short. Would love to see more content for it in the future.
