          That’s kind of the game’s theme, ironically. Meditative peace.

          To be fair, the gameplay loop isn’t the most fun for me either, but I got really hooked by the ambience and characters.

          To be fair, I think you were expecting something from it that isn’t part of its core.

          I don’t play it myself, but I have several friends and family that do, and they all cite it as their comfy, repetitive (by design) game that they play for a half hour at the end of a day to unwind and shut their brain off. From what I can tell, THAT seems to be the goal of the game, and it sounded like you wanted the opposite from it.

      It took me like 3 tries to get into it, and even then, I respect it more than I enjoy actually playing it, these days. If it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing.

      Did you get into the relationship building part? Not trying to convince you to, just curious. I got pretty bored with it because I was neglecting that whole side because it seemed hard. I kept giving Linus what little food i had and he hated it. Also I missed Qi’s side quests completely my first play through
