more Yo I usually don’t write reviews but this game has major potential. I’m sure the game is somewhat new so you guy’s probably haven’t got to this yet. But will there ever be a Discord server for the community and suggestions if there’s not one already? BTW I rate this game a 5 star because I can already tell after some updates this will be my Top Life Simulator
Developer Response Thank you so much for the 5 stars and the kind words – that means a lot to our small team! A Discord community is on our list and coming soon, so you can share ideas directly with us. Lots of big updates are on the way. Stay tuned! 💛
