Yeah, my girlfriend still thoroughly enjoys it. And I'm becoming more and more tempted to jump in and try my hand at it myself. There's multiple difficulties in the real game (and you can change these on the fly during the game) that changes how long months are, how quickly experience is gained, how long your people survive, etc. so you can avoid getting burned out on it, or you can savor it as long as you like

I won't spoil anything, but the game is STILL throwing new and interesting things at her. Nothing really groundbreaking, but still surprising and endearing things happening. So its not like you play for an hour and get the hang of it and then repeat everything until the end of the game. They put a lot of love and heart into the game, that's for sure

Edit: Also thank you all for reading. Not a lot of my threads typically get much attention, especially my long winded ones. So I genuinely appreciate you taking the time
