As a social worker who commutes for an hour every day and only has a two-hour lunch break, I know the pain of "wanting to play games but not having time" all too well. The "Wild Diary: Island" I've been playing recently is really suitable for a fragmented time player like me. Let me share with you my time management experience.
First let me talk about the most annoying thing about this game - it doesn't force you to be online all the time! Unlike some mobile games that lose resources every half an hour if you don't click on it, this game can be stopped and played at any time. Even if the screen is locked when the subway arrives, you can continue to play it the next time you open it. I usually pick up tree branches and rub a stone ax during my commute, explore the surroundings of the camp while eating during my lunch break, and spend another ten minutes before going to bed at night to see if there are any adventures. It perfectly avoids overtime work and doesn't affect me at all while sitting on the sofa watching TV shows.
The recent Halloween activities are also quite interesting. I encounter bats on the road, kill pumpkins, and use pumpkins to make pumpkin candies every day to exchange for points. The most delicious thing is that points can be exchanged for pumpkin bags that permanently increase the backpack capacity! This is great news for a rag-collecting maniac like me. I no longer have to worry about not being able to fit vines and rocks. The witch's broom is also a consumable item. It can run faster and is suitable for fishing parties who are in a hurry.
Anyway, the main theme of this game is "relying on picking up everything in the beginning, and surviving in the later stage". I died several times before I figured out the trick: give priority to making axes and torches in the early stage, don't be greedy and provoke the wolf, and go around if you can. If you survive the first five days, you will basically be stable. Now I spend about 20 minutes every day, and I am not tired. I can also experience wilderness survival, which is much more fulfilling than watching short videos.
Of course, if you are the kind of person who is so tired from get off work that you just want to lie down, this game will definitely not dissuade you. The difficulty is not abnormal, and the cost of starting over is not high. It is very suitable for office workers like us who have limited time and itchy hands. Recommended to brothers and sisters who also secretly click on the screen on the subway, just finish it!
