Halcyon Days at Taoyuan

Here is my review so far at 66h in! Loves -The ability to shorten/lengthen days. I love a LONG day in game, so that was perfect for me -The overall aesthetic and 'feel' Its very easy to move about, and I like the combat! -THE BARTER SYSTEM. Its SO refreshing to have a new way to pay for things, and it causes you to get innovative! (You can also check items 'values' in the knowledge tab) -The events/character events! They're always very sweet and a wonderful surprise when I get to experience them -The minigames, and being able to turn them off if needed. That was fun, and i really enjoyed them! (except the tanagram puzzles but that's my own personal gripe) Likes -The characters are sweet, I have liked their stories so far, though I think a marriage patch in the future would be wonderful with the possibility to add kids. -The animals! Whether through cultivating livestock, fighting them in saves, or taming them.. I have enjoyed the whole process. And the bonuses they give are so much fun to mix and match depending on what I'm doing -The crops! I love that I can focus on flowers or veggies, or grow an orchard if I prefer -The recipes/brewing options. While I'm still trying to figure out the best combinations of wine to additive, its been a lot of fun testing things out here and there. Needs improvement -The ability to check letters again, I often forget what a letter said, and would like to look back on them. -The ability to un-reject someone. Once you tell them you're just friends, they never ask for romance again. -As mentioned above, an overhaul on marriage and character schedules after marriage would be wonderful! -Lore related to the story. I would love to get more of a deep dive into the caves and the creatures within! Not to mention I feel a little lost in my personal character's story, and I think the game could improve with a few more triggered scenes about how they feel being plopped into a new land.
