Very surprising. The game looked like it had a lot of potential and could've been the most popular sims alternative, but it's suddenly been cancelled.

No surprise. I was really shocked when I saw the videos they released a while ago. Game ran like shit and looked even worse.

Yup... It looked like a really bad attempt at photo realism in 2024. At this point you either need to use cartoon-like graphics or some sort or actually pull off the photo realism.

It was pretty obvious that game was never going to reach either of those marks.

I was definitely excited for the prospect of a Sim's competitor, but this wasn't going to be it... I think they did the right thing pulling the plug.

I love ACNH's style where people are cartoony, but furniture is more detailed.

Stylized graphics would have not helped with the performance, or the mismatching scale of objects & people, or the garbage UI structure, or the garbage game structure. The whole thing was just amateurish and cheap looking.
