The monastery gradually evolves from a modest operation into a complex, multi-layered facility, and this visible progression provides a strong sense of ownership and accomplishment that anchors the long-term play experience.

Graphics are charming and simple pixel art style, tho characters have very good designs and are expressive even with only 24 pixels for a face!
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
A really fun management game with a bit of a learning curve.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The interface and soundtrack are particularly well done, striking a pleasant balance between an early-90s aesthetic and modern, polished design.

8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Over all, decent mobile grinder for steam deck on an airplane trip, but an absolute drain on time if you sit and try to play it at a desk.
Bugs
Players who bring up Bugs mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Ten hours so far and haven't encountered any bugs or problems yet, it seems pretty solid.
