From Steam reviews

Review notes

Forebearers is worth a closer look if you want rural cozy, exploration, colony sim, and nautical.

Best for players who want rural cozy, nautical, emotional story, and exploration.

Check more carefully if you dislike technical roughness.

Colony Sim
It feels like it has lots of potential for more depth if the devs continue to expand it during the EA process…
Buggy
Apparently they are sitting out all over the map, which I suppose is the developer's way of forcing the player to explore.
