I bought this and it's the stupidest thing I've ever played. It's completely 100% pointless.

I've tried it six times now and every time after about 6 hours or so I end up with all villagers dead.

The berry patch runs out, and there's no way to get more food.

I've tried dropping villagers on top of every possible place on the island. All I get is "additional research may be necessary," or they just shake their heads. If I drop them on the research table, they make little to no progress, or shake their heads. I could get them to clear the beach, but when I try dropping them in the water, I get "your villagers don't know how to fish." I try to water the "strange patch," and I get "need better water." I try clearing stones in the upper left, "additional research may be necessary."

The tech points build so slowly there's no possible way I can get enough for anything other than building before all villagers die.

This is the most tedious, unfun, pointless game I've ever played.

I tried reading the guide on the forum here but all it says is "you need to get more food than the berry patch." Well there's no way to do that.

I want my money back. If the company won't credit my card I'm doing a charge back. This is definitely not what I believed I would be buying based on the way it was advertised.
