This game runs like zombie burger on my PC (sloppy wet garbagemeat). Might be time to put it aside and come back to it at a later date.
In lieu of my cozycore fully automated luxury gay station wagon simulator, I plan to tackle one or two bucket list games that I mentally catalogue as being in the same ballpark: cozy, exploration/discovery focused, minimal combat.
Those are, Outer Wilds and Subnautica. These games have been on my backburner for years, and I'm particularly excited to play through Subnautica. I have actually played tiny bits of each but it's time to sit down and truly experience them.
