SO UNIQUE!! Snowy getaway for the mind

This game I literally had to stop playing just to write my review! If you love the snow ( and you’re stuck in a hot state like me of Florida, and you miss home, the cold and just peace and quiet, than this game is for you! If you want to explore, feel you have your own little spot in the world to fix up and call you own, this game is for you. If you want to just stop your troubles and getaway from reality this game is for you! Attention to detail with tiny little foot prints in the snow are endearing. The sound of the little footprints crunching in the snow, the way it turns nightfall outside, and the music!!! Hands down one of my favs of 2026 and I am not someone to buy a game but I will buy this one! Wonderful job to the writers, creators and artists! Ps wear your earbuds as you play and you will feel in another world:) enjoy!

Love it but too short.

I couldn’t stop playing this game. I love it! Just the type of game I was looking for. It’s relaxing, beautiful and not too stressful while exploring and helping out the friends along the way. The only drawback is the storyline is too short. I feel $6 is a bit much for how quickly you get through the story. I really hope new chapters are to come. There are endless possibilities for furthering the story and I would be all for it! I came across a few bugs. Like others have mentioned the recipe for the basic tree for the quest after the main storyline is missing and you can’t move forward until you craft it. The other was a message that was supposed to close by hitting the B button but the button wouldn’t respond.

Cute and cozy with a few rough edges

Bought the game no regrets 10/10 having a good time with it But there’s a few glitches? I have encountered Update! The fast travel quest appears to be bugged, not only because if you examine the mole holes you’ll be stuck because it’s saying press The B button to continue but because even after opening multiple mole holes it doesn’t update- if that’s because you didn’t examine the mole holes then please fix that issue? Edit also the burrower solstice tree is not appearing as a crafting option anywhere, so another glitch that needs addressing

Love the game BUT

I trialed this game and then purchase it when it was on sale. I had a lot of fun playing it. HOWEVER, like other reviewers said, there are some probably. The map doesn’t pinpoint exactly where you are at; only shows the general area where you are. The biggest issue is the winter solstice even. I can’t craft the basic tree at all, the recipe to complete the quest isn’t even there. I was wandering for 20 minutes trying to figure out if i need to forage something. It wasn’t till i came to the reviews that i saw others were having the same problem. If the two issues get fixed then it would be a 5-star game. But due to me not being able progress in the story and all i can do till it’s fixed it run around it’s a 3-star. Hopefully the developers are aware and fix it

The game is good overall, but I ran into several bugs and issues.

After completing the story, you are required to build a Christmas tree, but the recipe is not available at the workbench, so the quest cannot be completed. There are also some achievements that do not unlock, such as the achievement for unlocking the first floor and the one for starting a campfire outside. The crafting and inventory systems are also inconvenient. You cannot craft a specific number of items, and you cannot split part of a stack. You have to drop the entire stack on the ground and then pick up the required amount one item at a time. On the positive side, the game has a great atmosphere and looks very beautiful.

Enjoyable but sometimes frustrating

I both loved and was frustrated by the minimal guidance as I figured things out on my own. I liked playing at my own pace and discovering things by trial and error. However, there are a few frustrations. The biggest is that I have fully stalled in the game because of two bugs - both related to presenting things to the aunt after rescuing her. A smaller one is not being able to quickly unload everything into storage - it’s item by item and you hit the stack limits quickly. It’s also not possible to only remove some items from that stack (so 5 of 7). The full price was relatively high for an app (though no ads) - particularly with the bugs that halt any progress.

Challenging Cozy Game!!

its a great game so far and idk if anyone has played it yet but I want to say I’m impressed by it already i love the design of the whole game its beautiful and cozy and believe me making games is very hard so as someone who tries to make games myself i’m really impressed by the simplicity and the difficulty of it managing the weather and food bar is actually fun and makes u remember where ur base is!! i am playing it on the challenging difficulty and let me say i’m a gamer and its pretty challenging. keep it up I’ll get back to add more the this review when I’ve played a tremendous amount of it!

Great game!

**EDIT** Bug was fixed fairly quickly, so changing rating to 5 stars! Really loving this game! The art is adorable, the story is good, the challenge level is just right... BUT I've completed the story and began the Winter Solstice quests only to run into a terrible issue. When I completed the quest that rewards the trees I received 3 recipes. One was blank and the other two were the "fancy" versions of the tree. I assume the blank recipe was suppose to be the "Holiday Tree Burrower". I can't craft it and I can't complete the quest. Is this intentional? Is the recipe elsewhere that I'm supposed to find? I'm lost!
