Nonno Lorenzo Reviews

Couple of funny but non gamebreaking bugs aside, this game is really relaxing and fun so far. The music is adorable and the gameplay is as stress free as you want it to be. There isn't a penalty for closing down your shop or anything like that, so you're free to wander around when you feel like it :)

Very nice game, lots of things to do, chill atmosphere. Price is really good for content. Dev is very responsive.

At first I wasn't so sure about this game since there wasn't much online about it (at least what I was able to find) but this actually is very fun and easy to get into. I love the music, it's very relaxing as well as the rest of the game. It feels very minimal when it comes to high stress situations like making the pizza for the villagers, which I really appreciate since it usually takes me a bit of time to get used to prepping each pizza. All in all it's a good, simple game and keeps me interested.

This game is a surprisingly delightful little jaunt into owning and running a pizza shop, without feeling like a business sim. It also dabbles in villager relationship building without needing an entire wiki up ala Stardew Valley. There are 'unlock area' type puzzles that don't hold your hand which can be frustrating to some, but there's always the payoff. End game pacing leaves a little to be desired as I was able to unlock the final area and 'beat' the game within 2 days. Still very much worth checking out and watching the game grow ____________________ Edit: Game hasn't been updated since I reviewed this. Treat this as abandoned and buy at your own risk.

Good: Whole lot of good! I absolutely loved this game. Building the pizzeria, foraging, exploring, the town, the island just about everything. Without question I'd recommend this to anyone out there. Below Good: Only a few things I wished to see that would have knocked this game out the park: Why no expanded dialog with the townsfolk?! It's strange because it's obvious a ton of effort was put into creating a rustic enchanting town. But everyone says the same thing over and over forever. It would be great to get to know the characters even a little. The town in general feels uncompleted. Even having one place like a tavern to go into and find characters would have been great. Just more end-game content in general , maybe additional caves, something more with the winery, or even more amazing would be another small island to get to and explore.

It's a relaxing game

It's nice to get a game that brings a chill mindset with it. The audio is calming, the missions are allowing you to explore, building things makes me feel good. This is just a feel-good game and I am over the moon that another indy developer made something that is pleasing to the senses. Grab your copy and have a blast!

This is such a cute came and I loved watching the city come back to life after a few days of feeding them my home cooked pizzas! It's one of those games that you can't seem to put down because it just keeps springing new ingredients, characters and features on you that you want to try out. The world is beautiful and it's just a great feel-good experience that's perfect for when you just wanna chill out for a few hours after a stressful day. It should however probably be explained in game that you can only save by going upstairs going to bed, and that that will also fast forward to the next morning when items will be respawned and villagers will start to wake up again. Once you get the hang of that it's super fun!

This game is so chill! The art is clean, progression feels rewarding, and I am having a blast making pizzas for all the little homies and developing my pizzeria. I love that there is not too much sense of urgency, like how I can close my pizzeria whenever I want so I can explore, shop, craft, and forage. At first I was a little confused by the controls and wished for a tutorial, until I realized that all you have to do is hover your mouse over something if you don't know how to use it and a nifty tooltip pops up with everything that you need to know.

EDIT: The bug in the original review was fixed by the developer! I can now say with confidence that the game is worth your time and money. Its fun, its unique, the atmosphere is very relaxed and chill, and making pizzas and looking for new ingredients to put on top of a pizza pie is arguably a highlight of real life, so its definitely a highlight in game as well. The original review is being kept up only so there's context, the complaints I had no longer hold, its worth checking out if you can. I really want to recommend this game as it's charming, the premise is unique and fun, and I like pizza, but as it is right now I have to reload the game every in game day because items and villagers(!) won't spawn/respawn into the world leading to a ghost town that I can't interact with and a story I can't progress. If that bug is fixed, or doesn't show up for you, then 100% buy the game and try it.
