however, the Tarrs kind of freak me out. Lol. Not sure what the full story of Slime Rancher is. So... I can't relate with you on that.
The first day I got it, I recruited a bunch of kitty slimes and did something to create a Tarr so my entire farm of cats were meowing to death and I couldn't help them because I didn't know what was happening. It was as traumatic as it sounds. It's been a month and I'm still upset over that LOL
The story is essentially the Starmail you get in the game, as well as those big floating H beacons you can click on to receive notes. At first I didn't care much for it, but when I realized I finished most of my adventuring I then received some more Starmail and credits afterwards. As long as you play, you'll get to that point.
The game doesn't end or anything once you
do get there, it actually expands some more in a unique way, but it's enough to make you feel content with the characters and all that jazz. I appreciate them for designing the game in that way. I have quite a few games and none have felt as genuine and kindhearted as that one, with the exception of Stardew haha
And yeah... I kind of incinerated an elder hen & baby chick for the achievements. But I would be lying if I said I didn't also incinerate other stuff because I was too lazy to relocate them. My bf laughed hysterically at the vacuuming, too! He called me a monster for feeding my kitty slimes some chickens I found. If only he knew about my fire pit.
