As you expand your little hospitality empire, you slowly start uncovering a mysterious, deeper plot about the history of the forest and why the humans left in the first place. The writing is witty and lighthearted, giving you plenty of laughs while keeping you invested in Hank's quirky journey.

The beautiful hand-drawn art and relaxing soundtrack make the whole loop of building, upgrading, and exploring feel incredibly rewarding without ever stressing you out.
