Clanfolk early access review: a settlement sim that's a little too familiar

This here isClanfolk, a settlement sim about a family of Scottish tamagotchis. Sadly, it’s true. It is a drier, slower and more bucolic take on the exact same game. Let’s look at that first night. Probably a result of the diarrhoea he contracted from the dirty water he’s been drinking. The others cannot make fun. If godliness is next to cleanliness, the Macdonald Clan are Satan’s toilet brush.
