The game does not have a save or load game (the buttons work but it is like pressing new game) system that works the way it was intended to work. It has a hunger and thirst and energy system in place but won't show any indication on how hungry or thirsty or tired you are and the constant naging of "I am thirsty" will drive anyone mad. The sound i set to default of zero but yet you can hear all sounds. Other than that the game is there and what little of the mecaniks that i did see that sill works are fun and i would like to recomend it if he could fix all bugs mentiond instead of adding new stuff that will break the game more

It's a very nice Game with a big potential! I very like it. It makes a lot of fun, and I can understand that it is in Early-Access. The game needs a lot more features, but it is already great!

Game has many good ideas, like ability to buy in shop, bringing shoppings in bag from shop, just getting goods from shopping bag is more difficult, it is needed to throw it on floor with bag openings up by dropping it against wall. But it is quite realistic and funny idea, you have your shoppings in shopping bag, you can take your bag of food anywhere with you, put it on car trunk, so you wont be hungry anywhere. Everything can be put into fridge, dropped anywhere by gravity, any wardrobe and fridge can be open, also shelves, windows, computer turned on. Very pleasant and relaxing. Town is nice and huge although quiet. I yet have to try building things. Graphics are very nice and realistic.

Similar vibe to the peaceful parts of Deadly Premonition. iykyk. I spent a couple hours drinking a bag of vodka and walking around the town just looking at stuff. The visual design is wonderful, and there's a lot of good ideas here.
Still needs lots of work though. If the designer is interested, I'd love to help. I like the cut of your jib, and I wanna help flesh this out. Hmu

Tried to play this several times since I bought the early access in 2020, but due to so many bugs, aswel as lack of information on how to play or create things, and a generally bad UI, I quit within 20 mins.
Which is sad because the visuals and graphics are actually pretty decent for a low budget early access game, it has many good features such as driving, shops & houses, and your own house with some interactivity. And actually plays smoothly on lower end PCs for a game with such decent graphics.
Sadly there is just too many things broken or not completed
The need to sleep and drink get frustrating, especially when its almost impossible to take out your drinks from your grocery bag, and once you die, you have to restart from January 1st again!
The settings don't work, volumes keys broken, resolution and graphics selector does nothing.. and saving game seems to do nothing also.
There is no map, so you have to just lookout for road signs.. luckily its just a left or right turn once your at the end of your neighbourhood.
But the driving is not optimised well. The vehicle generally looks good, and drives smooth in a straight line, but is way too over sensitive to slight steering, leading to crashing, flips and death.
I seen the game was apparently completely revamped in 2022 and that updates have happened in May this year?
I don't see what has been updated as all the common bugs are still there and nothing seems to have changed really except game optimisation.
I hope this game will finally be fixed and its potential realised

Ok my review for other players, Honest review and will try to be fair.
Only played around 30 minutes or so of this game but that was enough for me to get a refund and i will explain why but first try to say some good points i noticed with game
pro's
Good idea and some realism to game mechanics
Im sure there are other good things but from the short time i played that all i noticed
Cons
Day night cycle far too quick
I could only sleep during day and not night, Therefor when trying to do anything was always dark and hard to see because when ever i woke up was afternoon and night time came too quick
Always get tired too quickly, think this must be linked with night cycle coming to quick, I slept around 4-5 times in the space of 30 minutes (real time)
Always need drink and eat, Not as often as sleeping but still far too much
Stuff gets put into a bag when buying food/water and is so fiddly trying to empty to actually eat or drink your items, needs an option on the bag to select empty goods
Vehicle seems to have no brakes or atleast takes a lifetime to stop
Vehicle controls are fiddly to start and stop engine
Also fiddly to stick usb stick into pc/3d printer
Last one from me but im sure there is more issues if I played longer is when your character needs to eat or drink or do anything
he keeps saying for example "I need to eat" every few seconds, not counted exact time but I would say between 3-5 seconds and this gets very annoying.
Once my character tells me he is thirsty I know, dont need reminding every few seconds, need to increase time on this to every 5 minutes or maybe 3 minutes at minimum.
This last issue was the last straw for me and what made me get refund, Trying to record a youtube series on this game with constant "I need to eat or I need to drink" etc just isnt very good for vidoes and the constant night time thing.
May suggestion to people is dont buy yet wait untill another update to see if these things are fixed but may even take a few updates.
Really good idea for the game but the execution of the game just isnt there yet, I know ealry access but I just feel even for that some basics things could of been implemented to the game first to atleats make it enjoyable to play instead of just thinking I want to refund this game and for the space of around 30 minutes thats bad to have as a game for someone wanted to refund game with such short time played.
Im not writting off the game totally becasue like i said maybe with a few updates it will be a good game to play but as of now
STAY AWAY
I would rate this game 3/10 from current state
Really hope devs see this and look at this as a way to improve and take my negative thoughts and make the game better, really want to see this improve alot and maybe i will buy again.
One game that comes to mind which is totally different is DAYZ, that was early acess for long tiem but when that came out yes full of bugs and issues but was fun to play for most part.
This game just isnt fun to play and thats the key factor with games, if they have issues which all games do have atleast make it fun becasue with the issues i stated above it really isnt fun
