I picked up this game last night and played it for a few hours. This morning I was excited to see that the 3 babies that had been born last night are now in their teens and going to a school that the villagers built. I have unlocked quite a few of the mini games and they are easy at first but increase with difficulty. I also had my first person die this morning. That's when I found out that you need to keep everyone alive, or able to produce, to win/continue the game.
The game has a type of Sims feel to it but it's definitely different in that you can walk away and they keep living (however there is an option to freeze the game, should you be away for more than a few days).
So far, I haven't found too many downsides except that at the beginning it is a bit slow. I would like to grow my village, but I'm not sure how long that's gonna take. I thought a mom only had to care for their baby for 20 minutes, but it turned into all night long. There are quirks that I am still trying to figure out, but all in all, I'd probably give it a 4.5/5 rating. I was waiting for this game to come out because it's the closest things to Sims so far, so I was willing to pay the $7.99 for it. Anyone who likes these kinds of games will probably be pleasantly surprised by the game.
