I Love this game. lots to do especially with the new mine addition. the developer is always working hard to update with new things to do. lots to harvest, collect, and craft if you like the gathering/crafting aspect. A little fighting in the mine. there's a bear that is hibernating, so im excited to see how that will be implemented in the future!

Depends on what you expect, it's already a fun little sandbox with enough mechanics and content to spend 10-15 hours I guess. Endgame content or a bigger game loop to let you come back soon - not so much at the moment. But it's moving in the right direction from my point of view.

I bought the game on Friday and spent about 40 hours playing it to get all the achievements. That's without knowing the game or its mechanics. Just so you have an idea. But I enjoyed every minute of it.

The game is in very early acess, but its cheap enough that its worth it.

I'm also curious cuz I'm looking to grab either this or Teddy's Haven. Would like a medieval sim with more than just staying in the store and serving customers.

Can the shop be upgraded or anything?
How is progress working exactly?
Can you save during the day and get back at exact time you quit? Most games just reset day entirely it's annoying xD

EDIT: oh i just tested demo and 2 things:
1- demo is very good quality. I watched a youtuber on the game today and i was expecting the demo to feel less complete and cheaply made like it happens often and no. Demo gives a great taste of the game.
2- game seems awesome! I was going to buy one game for my bday and i'm feeling like it'll be this one. :D I just heard about it a few hours ago entirely by mistake. What a hidden gem!

1. at the moment, the shop can not be upgraded/expanded
2. the developer of this game is doing a great job adding new things fairly quickly. the mine expansion was a huge update. i cant wait to see what comes next.
3. you save with a bed. you can go to bed for a full night rest and get up the next morning. or do a nap (quick save) and continue where you left off

Thanks for helping.

I was just being confused by taxes. You pay them only every 5 times you open the shop? Or after the initial first 5 you have to pay everyday no matter what?

And do you pay if let's say you decided to not open the shop 2 days in a row?

Last thing: thieves can only steal items while shop is open? Or can they sneak in rest of the day?

And mine pass and farm, you pay once and it's forever?

I'm really tempted lol. Both Teddy's Haven and Cozy Keep are hidden gems to me. And so impressed because they are al both one dev if I'm not mistaken? Those guys rock!

Absolutely yes

each day you open your shop, you accrue taxes. you can pay taxes daily, the next day, or after the 5th time you open up your shop. after the 5th time, all taxes must be paid to open the shop again, for up to 5 days. i hope that makes sense. i understand how it works, but its hard for me to word it. you only get taxes added if you open your shop (portal). the family debt is a little different.

for the debt, you have a certain amount of in game days, before you start getting penalties added on for not paying. it's a significant amount of days in between payments.

the thief can only steal while the shop is open to customers. farm and mine are a 1 time payment yes

i was thinking about Teddy's but after watching some youtube videos, it seems rather redundant for my taste. i like having quests, tasks, and "reasons" to do things in these type of games. i hope something along those lines get implemented in this game in the future.
