    I tried to speedrun it initially and got bored because the story progression wasn't very intuitive. But after coming back to it months later and taking my time, I actually found it really relaxing. The progression makes more sense when you don't rush it. There are no instructions constantly telling you where to go, just like in real life. Really enjoyed it this time around.

    Genuinely liked this game, all the village vibes, farming, managing the tea shop, visiting ruins with savi was fun, really beautiful art style.
