To echo some things others have said, I have several games that I rotate through with interest. I might not be on LW all the time but I intend to keep coming back and keep supporting the team. Sometimes my brain really enjoys the grindy gameplay loop - it feels pretty satisfying! I also just love looking at my wolves and improving them a little bit every time I return.
I'm also one of the users that came back for the update ^^ It's been a lot of fun going through my wolves, and doing the fishing again. Very excited about the achievements and getting the titles as well :D
Another person who returned for the update. I kinda like that this game is easy to duck in and out of - makes it more likely that I'll come back. Rather than feeling like I've missed too much.
I kind of fell off playing the game right after it launched, but after the achievements were launched, I've been playing pretty much every day. I also really like the weekly professions events and getting all of the tickets. It creates a fun game loop for me where I'm leveling up, reaching achievements, and getting event tickets to spend on things.
