Steam review snapshots
It is intended for rather slow progress, has content for years (challenges, pet content), part of which is unfortunately made by repetition…This game is cool, but you’ve gotta lower the prices for the in-game stuff lol Nobody’s paying $50 for microtransactions in a…so its a slow burner…The UI is definitely a little confusing at first, but it doesnt take to long to get used to it, and parts…Why it fits
Check it if you want casual, simulation filtered by relaxing, single-player.
