What people are saying

The Real Review

This life sim game is still in early access, but people are loving the build mode and character creation tools, praising them for their flexibility and detail. The core gameplay loop of building homes and managing lives is solid and engaging, even if the story and difficulty are a bit undercooked. The big, consistent problem is performance, with many players on PC and Mac reporting crashes and technical issues that hold the experience back. It's a promising foundation from the small dev team, but it's clearly not finished yet.
