The aspect of multiplayer adds a lot of fun to the game, it’s funny to read people’s drama in the chat as well as cooperate with others to get more materials or tackle harder events, also the cooking mini game being extremely coop friendly is great!

But there is just something about this game, the visuals are amazing, I love the style, I love the characters and even though I’m wishing for more interactions and more in the romance aspect, it’s still a lot of fun to get to know the characters.

I love the dialogue between you and the NPCs, their backstories fit the character design and are well thought out.
