It’s like the perfect blend of Animal Crossing’s charm, Minecraft’s building freedom, and Stardew Valley’s progression and heart, all wrapped up in a uniquely Australian world full of character, wildlife, and endless things to do.

Besides some occasional performance stutters, this game is absolutely perfect on the Steam Deck, almost as if it's some kind of a first party title.
