You're given some tutorial/introductory quests and they could have easily been all on one day, MAYBE two, but instead they're dragged out for almost a week.

Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
I'd also like a moment to talk about the music as Misoka has once again made some amazing music for this game, though unlike the more energetic tracks from previous Skipmore titles, the soundtrack to this game sounds more adventurous to soothing like going out to the wild where all the monsters are to travelling around your farm and the village, the night time theme's are even better with the tracks becoming even more soothing to listen to just lovely.
