Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The game is technically never ending, or you play until you've collected everything.
148 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
So tl:dr, this game has a unique time system that is action-based rather than real-time, has a lot of skills to upgrade, requires you to grind a lot to make progress, and has a lot of progression locked behind drawing the right blueprints through weekly randomized shop items, which only really becomes an issue mid to late-game.

Littlewood has a very minimalist pixel art style that I find charming.

Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.
It also didn’t like my controller/the steam deck much, not being able to move with the d-pad, and not recognizing the x button to turn chairs, but that was easily fixed with the deck’s configuration tool.
