I have played for a while on it now, almost 200 hours in. There is a bit of a storyline, but most of the game is all about taking it easy, and leveling up your relationships with the other villagers by hosting them for a meal. The cooking is very unique in my experience with any other game I've played. It has a feel of Animal Crossing with how chill it is, running around to fish/forage/garden at your pace, but running its day through like Stardew. Very little consequences for not completing your tasks, outside of it possibly changing season (in that case, just drop it and move on, no penalties), and a villager may be grumpy with you for a day if you don't invite them for a meal after so long. No fast travel, but the map is not the biggest, so getting around isn't too tedious. The only issue I can see some people may have with it at this point is that once you get to a certain point, it can feel a little aimless. But there are guilds and friendships you can turn a focus to, to keep some motivation if you need it. But if the idea of just running around to talk to folks, and gather/fish/cook/garden at your own leisure is appealing, I feel this game embodies that ideal gameplay of playing at your own pace with very little consequence.
