>Aka is a top-down single-player game where you help red panda Aka to find inner peace. In this small open world, player can farm, craft and solve various quests to relax.
>On these carefully handcrafted islands, you can take a nap on a giant Capybara, feed baby dragons, take care of the fauna and flora … but demons from your past might come back to remind you what you want to forget.
Unfortunately some make the game quite difficult to play (eg, some items getting trapped in storage unless you drop one, leave the building, re-enter, pick it up, drop next one; cannot complete the final step/placement of some crafting tasks like the chest). Load times for going inside is fine, but pretty extensive for going outside, which becomes noticeable if you need to go in and out for things
The game seems to have a lot of promise but it may be better to wait for a patch!

Picked this up last night as I’ve had my eye on it for some time. The art direction and core gameplay are wonderful, and the music is perfect. Charming, cozy, ghibli vibes to the max.
Fair warning though, there are a number of bugs and issues based on my two-hour playthrough:
– load times between rooms and areas, will take anywhere between 10-15 seconds — this is one of the more egregious issues as it really disincentivizes me from wanting to explore
– unable to place crafted furniture anywhere
– general movement and tile selection for activities like watering crops is very imprecise and clumsy, poor panda boy is prone to falling off of stairs and walkways
– frozen animation when sowing seeds from inventory
– unable to stop leisure activities like playing piano at the bar
I feel this title has so much potential. A lot of thought and care has gone into so many different elements like playing the piano and daydreaming on the beach. If and when the dev patches these issues, I’m more than happy to sink a lot of hours into this.

I am trapped in Grudrun’s area. I can no longer see myself (I am somewhere outside the screen). I‘m so sad cause the game is so cute and calming☹️

It’s on my wishlist but I’ll wait for the bugs to be fixed before I purchase

I bought this last night and I enjoyed playing it after a rough shift at work and some time this morning but it still is very buggy but has so much potential. It is very cute and I love the concept but it is still very glitchy. Beautiful game though.

Is anyone able to craft the torch and candle I’m having issues
OhDearOops
I absolutely adore this game and I hope they get it all polished up. I might put this down for now though until a patch comes out. Like, no matter how many times I feed the baby dragons, it doesn’t take it off my quest list which drives me NUTS!!! Also, who the heck is Gaagl and where do I find him????

Anyone having any issues with receiving the recipe for the soup? I looked it up and have all the ingredients but can’t do anything until I find the recipe or am told it

I have a bug but I can’t find anybody talking about. My game simply doesn’t allow me to make a torch. I am stuck being unable to go inside the cave. Is anybody else living the same?

Where can the chest be built? I have it as red and unable to place.

For anyone who’s stuck needing more storage I managed to place several chests in the small hidden clearing just behind where you find the wolf stuck in a trap! It’s the only place I’ve found that I’ve been able to build them, not ideal but definitely helps!

Can anyone make a candle??

Has anyone found the mushroom to make the potion for the brambles? I can’t find it ANYWHERE and I can’t decide if I just can’t find it or if it’s a glitch. Help?

( spoiler) I have found a key under the waterfall. What do I do with it? Dying of curiosity.

I’m struggling find a gear for the maple island has anyone been able to find who gives you that? I saw online it’s the inventor on pine island but I have no idea who that is
TheWritingRedhead
I have an amazing new problem. I am on maple island, and every time I try to leave the island the game crashes. An error occurs and the whole thing closes. Is anybody experiencing this or know when the switch will get an update? I’m so sad.

I bought this game because I heard it was supposed to help with anxiety. But after playing for a day, it just heighten it. :/ Bugs everywhere, items disappearing when dropped(because of storage issues), the constant “running on ice” feel and falling off everything.
I utterly love this games aesthetic though and can’t wait for all the bugs and problems to be fixed.

Hello! I’ve crafted an antigel potion and drank it instead of giving it to the ghost needing, now the golden flower won’t pop again so I’m stuck :(. Has it happened to others?

The game is really nice but still has some bugs. They’ve been [acknowledged](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1591450/view/3636124720232108170?l=english) by the dev team before the game was even out, so they’re working on them!
