The music in the game is so good. I've not actively listened to or chosen lofi as background before, but the way it's integrated in the game works so well and I've enjoyed using it. Especially as it's so easy to pause if I need. 😊
I work as a cinematics producer, and an audio production coordinator / junior producer for video games, and I have to say as soon as I saw this game through tiktok, I downloaded it and instantly fell in love. I don't rate many games 5 *'s but this game... is literally everything I have been looking for in a planner; it's cozy, aesthetically pleasing, fun, customizable, easy to use, AND LOFI MUSIC all in one place. It's simple in concept, married with brilliant features - so beautifully executed. I love being able to move the character around, partake in different activities, along with my spirit companion. I loved this game so much from the jump, I immediately purchased a copy for my partner who started contuinuing education recently, so they could use it as a tool to help them study. I also have ADHD and struggle with auditory sensory issues at times, and the lofi playlists curated for this game are magical. Thank you for creating such a brilliant experience; because this is more than a game, it's a total experience. I hope more content gets introduced!
I'm loving this game so much, it's up in the background as I go about my day all the time! I enjoy changing my avatar's activity or outfit to better suit my RL situation, and picking a spirit to go along with whatever I'm doing.
As soon as I'm able, I'm buying this!! I love the idea of a relaxing background while I'm writing or even reading. Thank you for sharing this with us, TQ 😊😊😊
I have been loving this!! My little companion is the Chapterpillar. Love how it just calmly reads next to me and adjusts its glasses every so often. Thanks for the great content as always Witchy! 💚💚
I'm so happy I got this game, it is super helpful for school assignments and I imagine it is going to be great as a work from home tool for me as well!
With ADHD the to-do list in a fullscreen game helps me identify what to work on which is huge. If you have ADHD I highly recommend each step as a “to do” item because it better fits how we see tasks, rewards partial credit, and more frequent satisfaction of checking the boxes
I wish someday this game could expand and maybe be a cross platform one. Right now I can only use it on my pc. Since I can't go around my house with it, it would be nice if there's like an app on our phone that lets us continue to listen to the lofi beats and access the to-do list while still having the game run on our main devices. Might be of a reach but that would be nice.
Yeah I have a work computer and a personal computer, I don’t want to put the game on my company computer and that’s kinda where I need the todo list and Pomodoro the most :/ this sounds wonderful but I’d only use it once in a while. An app would be fantastic.
You could use something like Parsec or Moonlight to stream it to your phone or tablet. Another option is to simply use wireless headphones or earbuds if the range is long enough.
This is just like a tiny bit more than what I wanted Virtual Cottage to be. It's just a teensy bit too gameified for my adhd though. I can spend a little too long customizing the room.
lol that's fair, the customization is what makes the game so amazing for a lot of us! really lets us emerse ourselves as we work, but ADHD can be different for different people 🖤🖤
@@joejo4549 Yes and no. It was too much of a distraction. I'd open it to sit and get work done, and then end up switching through scenes to earn the little pets, and changing my character's style... and then an hour would disappear and I'd have to close it to get any work done. I still use it... but just.. as a game, when I want background distraction while I read or knit or watch tv. It won't work for me during work hours, but it's nice for leisure.
I am so happy rn, i was looking for exactly sm like this since forever! (every good app was for apple/a tablet or android, NOTHING for windows) i need to study pretty hard for school and every timer website or video or app, wasn't good enought for me. I found this and i LOVE it! Ty sm for sharing
Just started using this game and it's great so far. The only addition that I'm hoping for would be to hang out with multiple spirits at the same time. 😊
Thank you for this lovely review! You explained everything in a clear and concise manner and your voice is very nice to listen to! I am going to purchase this game since it’s currently on sale
looks really cool! thanks for you view. Would be cool to have in on iPad so I didn't have to run in on a second monitor. Taking up the whole screen on a computer is deterring to have your focus be on PC. Can't wait to see where this "game" goes
I really would like to try out this game but as a 3D artist it would be counter-intuitive to keep it on in the background while working :C currently using chillpulse but it has way less features than this game (but it has the journal feature which i loveeee)
Thank you so much for this video! I'm happy how you point out aids for disabled people and body inclusivity!! I would love if it would grow and you would get a house so you can body double with doing laundry or cooking, that would be so fun and helpful. I love ambiance video's and this is basicly that, but in a interactive way and as a great bodydoubling tool. I'm going to try it!
Thanks for a great review :) I wish thegame will offer an app to use when it’s impossible to open the game via computer . I work at a law firm (going to the office 3 times a week) and I can’t open games on my work computer. Unfortunately, it’s when I’m at work that I need the game at most :(( The game looks like a great productivity tool :((
i also wish it has more tools for productivity. like something for financial goals, being able to track your progress through a progress bar etc. then that way we can track the habits and how well we are doing and also have a physical manifestation of that progress visually through the game.
I know you made the disclaimer about being white but I'm just happy seeing anyone who's not a white cis guy making gaming content / content in general. Thanks for the review.
Such a great utility game, thank you for sharing! I have found it so helpful but I'm definitely still learning how to use the timer and tools without burning through my daily executive function allotment. 😅 (The joys of adhd and fatigue) Its very neat using the to do list as a reminder of the current task, then rewarding my brain with cute decorating time to decompress before shifting task.
lol under sounds, there is a fire place! you just turn up the "volume" but click off the little sparkle icon on the top right of that sound if you only want either sound OR visual rather than both!

I have never been to your channel before and the moment you said that this was your opinion as a white woman and to check out creators of color- I was a new subscriber.
Thank you for the wonderful review! The kind words really mean a lot ✨️ we tried really hard to make the music as special as possible 😊
Every playlist is fantastic!!

@@tillyszita3367 this is such a well written and thought out comment, I'll make sure the devs see it!
@@HomeworkRadio I would LOVE to play this game but I don’t own a steamdeck or a pc 😢
I'm loving this game so much, it's up in the background as I go about my day all the time! I enjoy changing my avatar's activity or outfit to better suit my RL situation, and picking a spirit to go along with whatever I'm doing.
I'm obsessed with changing my outfit based on the activity I'm doing, or the time of day! really helps me track what's going on
@@WitchyTQ it'd be so cool if they'd add a "tidying" sort of activity, I think, so avatar-me can tidy while RL-me also does
As soon as I'm able, I'm buying this!! I love the idea of a relaxing background while I'm writing or even reading. Thank you for sharing this with us, TQ 😊😊😊
Yayyy! I hope you love it as much as I do, so glad I could showcase this one 🤍

every companion is so unique i love it

Great overview TQ, thanks! The release stream gave a great look into this cool tool too.
I adore having a new addition the the twitch schedule ;-;

As someone who also has ADHD, this is what I have been looking for!
Your voice is perfect for a review of this game! So relaxing.
thank you so much

I have no idea what this channel is, are you ADHD then? @@WitchyTQ
Are you still using the app?

oh me too! i would adore that option
That's it! You got me, I'll be purchasing!
The only problem I have with this game is it doesnt run on my university laptop at the same time as my university programs 😂
Thank you for this lovely review! You explained everything in a clear and concise manner and your voice is very nice to listen to! I am going to purchase this game since it’s currently on sale
Thanks for the honest review, I never thought I could use a game as a tool but guess I'll try it out, cheers!
of course! I hope you end up enjoying it.

I am so grateful I came across this video! This game is so cute and I have never felt more productive 😂 I hope it gets more support soon!
Just got the game mid video and am now finishing watching it while in the game, thanks :D
i hope you enjoy it!

Amazing video! I'd love for this game to be available on Xbox🤞🏾 I'm buying the PC version now tho, this video convinced me to buy🫡
thank you for watching! and there's even been QoL improvements since this video's release so you're in for a treat!
Great review also your voice is very soothing wow
aw thank you so much
I've really been loving the game so far. Thanks for the review!
Thanks for the great review! Definitely gonna get this game to help my work from home productivity levels 👩🏻🎨
I hope you love it! It's been so clutch for me
Thanks for the comprehensive review, I'm considering buying the game and this was helpful!
I'm so happy it helped!
Whoa thank you sooo much for the on point review!!! 💕💕
thank you for watching!!
great vid. keep up the good work!
i also wish it has more tools for productivity. like something for financial goals, being able to track your progress through a progress bar etc. then that way we can track the habits and how well we are doing and also have a physical manifestation of that progress visually through the game.
They're always adding updates! I highly recommend joining their official discord and suggesting this!
Got it for 8 bucks and it was adorbs love it sm
Is it user friendly when setting up? I’ve been wanting this but not sure if it’s something I might get frustrated setting up
it has a tutorial and is pretty self explanatory in my personal opinion; features are pretty basic at the moment and easy to understand,
I know you made the disclaimer about being white but I'm just happy seeing anyone who's not a white cis guy making gaming content / content in general. Thanks for the review.
aw, thank you ;-;
Will it be on iPhone?
i dont believe so due to the cost of running a game on the app store and it's limitations
my boyfriend bought this for me, and its super cute of him
can i add my own music on my folder
@@WitchLuw no but you can look up anything on youtube via the built in app, or just play your music and pause the games.
is it available for mac?

I think I'll make a stream or video focused on how I use it as an ADHD tool & utilizing it to the best of it's ability 🤔
How on earth did you make fire in your fireplace? I'm going insane XD

it's important to recognize priviledge, and place 🤍
Why would you being a white woman make me feel different about the game haha?
Just wanted a game review... Not virtual signaling....
sorry I don't understand, care to explain?
The moment I heard you identified yourself as a white women, I lost interest.
Cool!
