Gourdlets <\/em>is like the retirement stage of building sims. <\/p>\n

Playing it feels more like if Tom Nook decided to abandon profiting<\/a> off your debt in Animal Crossing<\/a> or if you never had to worry about your Sim<\/a> setting the house on fire or getting sick. In other words, Gourdlets<\/em><\/a> is a lovely time for anyone looking to build an adorable town and take a break from the digital grind. <\/p>\n

The game tells you via a text tutorial at the beginning that any town you make in Gourdlets <\/em>doesn\u2019t have any money and the little anthropomorphized gourd creatures will be content no matter what you build them. \u201cWe tried explaining capitalism to the gourdlets but it made them feel too tired, so you don\u2019t have to worry about managing currency or resources,\u201d the text reads.  <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Learning to play is a breeze. I played on Windows PC and the tutorial introduces you to a column of buttons, each with its own function: The build menu pulls up a little catalog of objects you can use to build out your town; the \u201cbulldoze objects & fences\u201d lets you demolish stuff you\u2019ve built. It probably took me five minutes to begin the game and get to work making a little town square for the little guys. <\/p>\n

You play the game from an isometric view, which you can rotate by 90 degrees to see your pixelated creations from different angles. Little touches, like a toggle that allows you to draw straight lines with decorative tiles or the ability to edit the number of tiles you want to place when you make a path, make building the crunchy pixelated paths and objects super satisfying. Loads of items \u2014 like benches, buildings, and cobblestone paths \u2014 come in a variety of rainbow pastel colors right from the get-go with no grinding. I could build the Candy Land <\/em>cottagecore town of my dreams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

True to its promise, you can really putz around and do whatever. The game uses a system where you invite gourdlets to town, seemingly as many times as you want. (The game didn\u2019t stop me, but I imagine there\u2019s a limit at some point.) You don\u2019t manage the gourdlets, so you can sit back and build as the creatures play and grow up. Once you get more mature gourdlets, you can unlock more items.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I started with making a town square, but I didn\u2019t enjoy it as much as designing some nature areas, so I switched to making forest campgrounds complete with glowing critters, mushrooms, and string-lit paths. I didn\u2019t feel like the game incentivized either way of playing \u2014 regardless of whether I chose to make them a more formal town or focus on building nature areas. <\/p>\n

According to the studio\u2019s Steam page, this is the debut game from AuntyGames, and it\u2019s an absolute gem. Whether it\u2019s taking a moment to appreciate a gourdlet watering a garden or finding the perfect placement for a shell on the beach, I\u2019m obsessed with this sleepy little sim.\u00a0<\/p>\n
