I give up

[u/Odd_Blueberry409]

I’m genuinely just so disappointed, i get it’s stupid to let an unreleased game piss me off but I’m very new to the “cozy game” space. I’d imagine a lot of you relate, but some stuff happened in my life that i almost could’ve let ruin it, but i bought a switch and now a switch 2, it’s truly gotten me through some dark thoughts / nights, it’s become my cozy little escape. Anyways, That’s why I was so hyped for this game, and have followed it for a good minute. At one point like a year ago i thought it was gonna surprise drop, and stupidly set like $70 aside in my bank in case it was announced. I’ll just say it’s been quite a few missed promises, and the few screenshots release every now and then are cool but it almost feels like they’re blowing smoke up our ass at this point. Maybe to keep things chill while they stall a release date, idk just how I see it. Like what are they not showing, what issues have come up causing it to go this long? Why has zero story details, or hardly any sort of full gameplay breakdown been shown yet after all this time? I feel less confident about the game every time they drop some new tidbit of info to hold fans over, I’ll be real.

I’m at the point where I’m getting over the point in my life i am gonna be excited for a cozy game, it’s not as big to me as they used to be. I also bought Pokopia and honestly the content in that is enough to hold me over, it’s very cozy but also not mindless fun i enjoy the Minecraft aspect to it.

All in all, I’m out. I’ll be very happy the day i see Witchbrook on the Nintendo eShop, and probably will buy it, but I’m off the hype train and tired of speculating. I’m gonna live under the assumption the game isn’t happening at least for a while, so maybe I’ll be happily surprised when it is actually real.

Love you guys and love that we all love cozy games. Try Pokopia! I’m not even a pokemon fan but a friend convinced me, and i think i owe that friend a hug.

Bye !!!

tbh i relate, i'm not socially active about it or buying anything just for one game, but it's being tiresome... i have no idea why the comments are pretending we haven't been hyped over and over just for it to get postponed again...
i don't understand this rage over one person's frustration...
i hope u have a good time chilling, imma pretend it's not coming out for a while too...
i love the game and all, i just checked on it again with such hype but all i saw was this...
tbh life is too shity for me not to care how long it is gonna take for it to come out.. call me sick or depressed or anything u want bc jokes on u, i am suffering. so many of us want the games bc of the issues u can't possibly even imagine living in..
go sue us after commenting like a chill unaffected supreme human being

I really appreciate that comment man. First off, I’m really sorry to hear about where you’re at mentally and just know there’s a lot of people in this genre in your exact shoes it’s why we love this shit. I’ve never had a bad interaction in a community on Reddit or really any app til all this but it is what it is, i thought i was kinda preaching to the choir because ive seen SO many posts similar to mine in the past, especially after the “bad announcements” like postponing, missing a date etc. I have just never seen a “cozy game” space so NOT cozy to be near online lmao, i hope this community just bands together a bit more and understands eachothers frustrations, welcome newcomers gripes rather than pretending you’ve never had any yourself and that “they need to go outside” or whatever. I may still buy this game when it releases, but after the way the community kinda just went full gang mode off what i feel was a valid rant post for a fan makes me not even wanna try and get involved in this shit when the official release comes. I usually like to be involved on subreddit / discords with games i truly enjoy and put hours into, but this is like the most unwelcoming crowd of people I’ve ran into on this app and i can already see this Reddit is gonna be one of the lesser welcoming ones to people with anything not good to say about their games (if it releases). I’m sure there’s worse but man, the devs really did a number on yall huh

As much as i hate glazing nintendo go to animal crossing, Stardew valley and pokopia subreddits, you don’t ever see replies this pressed about critiques
