It hurts my heart a little to have to note that at this moment one achievement is a bit bugged because this is such a lovely game. The developer is still working hard on this game and after the publisher has checked the updates, this bug should be patched out. As state above, I'll update this guide when it is fixed.
Did I already state that this is such a lovely game? It feels like a Zelda game and I enjoyed it a lot. You start this adventure in your own small town. Your father asks you to get something from the secret hiding spot for the cafe you run as a family. From the moment you reach that secret hiding spot, everything goes downhill.. Your small town gets attacked by pirates and they kidnap your best friend. Your father is part of the volunteer navy and takes of rescuing your best friend. But what do you do if your father and best friend still haven't returned after 6 months? You go on an amazing adventure trying to find them.
Very soon you get a lot of freedom to explore the world. To reach some places you might need new items, but you'll find those during your journey. You also will find a lot of sidequests that are logged in a menu together with your main quests. Which keeps things organized. There is a very detailed walkthrough on the steam guide section, which you can use to help you find the way or give you a guideline, but without it, you'll be fine as well. It is amazing that from the day of release this guide was available for those who enjoy having a helping hand.
This game has a few challenging achievements, but none are missable. At the release, the game had 1 missable achievement, but the developer felt that it was going against the spirit of the game to have that achievement and decided to delete it. Which is in my mind a very good choice. This way achievement hunters can just enjoy the game before have to focus on achievements. The few challenging ones are defeating the end boss with a curse that makes monsters a lot harder, you can do this after you've finished the game. Another is getting from point a to point b within a time limit and without using a fast travel system. And another one is getting from a different point a to point b without getting damage or using the fast travel system. All are very doable. I only needed like 3 tries for the timed one to know the way and get it done. The others I got on the first try. Apart from those you have story-based achievements and achievements like getting all the different kinds of items, doing all the main and sidequests, stuff like that.
I really did enjoy this game and it is very hard to imagine that one person was able to make such a lovely game!
