Review: Tsuki Adventure

Developers: HyperBeard Games
Producers: HyperBeard Games LLC
Genre: Family, Calm
Price: FREE

Tsuki (Moon in Japanese) is a rabbit who moves to a small village to become a carrot farmer. The village is calm with slow moving villagers who enjoy the days as they come and go. Tsuki has some old friends in this village but can also make a few new ones. It is the player’s choice to interact with the villagers and slowly build up a relationship in form of a heart colour. With each small conversation the colour comes closer to red and an opportunity to earn a special item.

The game tells the player early on that Tsuki is not a pet, Tsuki will live however a rabbit sees fit without the players constant watch. The things the player can affect is who Tsuki talks to and what items Tsuki use as well as when to farm the massive carrot in the backyard. Doing any of the mentioned can change scenery, allow interaction with new characters, or new interactions with old, and make more items available for Tsuki. Overall, it could be said that the goal of Tsuki Adventure is to collect memories.

If a calm, almost tranquil, experience is what you are after Tsuki Adventure surely delivers. The game is not like having a pet that constantly demands attention but more like reading a story about the adventures of a rabbit in a small village that will forever be the same no matter how little, or much, time you spend on the game. It is a comforting escape from a hectic life.
