Gave it a trial and yeah it seems like it needs more time. I did my best to follow instructions, but watering the pepper doesn't seem to do anything so unless that's the end of the tutorial I feel like I missed something somehow. Ran around for a bit trying to trigger scenes, but I'm guessing it's tied to the quests I have no idea on how to complete. Sadly, the farm lacks harvestable versions of the items requested by either parent, and with me unable to seemingly progress the tutorial I'm not sure it's worth it for me to trial and error my way into growing the plants.
Unskippable AI voices also make it a pain to sit through again, especially when it focuses on explaining to the MC in very many words that plants need water and nutrients instead of a game mechanics explanation. For example watering the plants didn't do anything unless I pressed e, but I had to be careful not to hold e as that would remove the plant entirely. Wish I could hit a button to move to the next line when I'm done reading.
