I eventually did run out of things to do (at least I hit a point where after apparently trying everything on everything I didn't get anything new), a guide would be nice.\n\nI like the music and the sound effects in general. I also like the sense of humor, like how we can pick up flames with bare hands just like any other object, or how the anvil makes us move extremely slow even tho apparently nothing else has any weight.\n\nVery good entry overall, nice normal farming simulator, truly a normal farming experience","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":913053,"author_name":"TheSmellofOxygen","author_uid":"thesmellofoxygen","epoch":1673458487,"text":"I also only got about halfway through the achievements before getting stuck after sacrificing the crow.

You managed to get so much done in a very short time and it was extremely well presented. I really enjoyed how this game started. When I harvested the first seeds and then replanted them it seemed like it was just going to be a totally normal farming simulator and I didn't at all expect to be sacrificing crows and eels to a workbench. Later in the game I found it a bit too difficult to know how to make progress. Once the furnace was lit I made glass and an anvil but I had no idea what to use them for. Also after experimenting with lots of different things my screen eventually became very cluttered with dirt and seed and other random items. I think a small change that would have made quite a big difference would be to just give the player more space. I think that would allow for more experimentation without feeling like you were being punished for getting things wrong. Also it would be nice if there was some kind of way of discarding items but I'm not sure how that could be implemented without risking the player throwing away an item that they need to progress.\nGood job overall!
