can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be. For one thing, the monster-collecting, base-building game relies heavily on severely flawed Pal AI, which the player has little ability to control. As a result, it has endless potential for frustration: accidental killing of wild Pals, Pals getting stuck in weird behaviors, or even Pals eating the fried egg a player was saving for later.
