About this game
Story
You return to your hometown to continue caring for the land your family once owned, a place that has long been left abandoned. Your goal is to restore this land while building relationships with the people in the village, bringing life and beauty back to the community once again.
Each villager has their own story and struggles to face. Helping solve their problems may be important, but sometimes simply listening can be more than enough.
Features
🌾Farming
Growing crops is an essential part of daily life. You can sell your harvest to earn money or keep it as food to help your character survive each day.
🌿Foraging from Nature
Nature provides new resources every day. Wild plants, fruits, and forest ingredients can be gathered and used in many ways depending on how you manage them.
👗Clothing with Gameplay Effects
Clothing is not just for decoration. The outfits you wear will affect your character’s abilities, making gameplay easier or more challenging in different ways.
⏰ Real-Time Time & Weather
Time and weather progress seamlessly in real time. Crops grow continuously without forcing you to sleep to pass the day, giving you full freedom to live and manage your schedule at your own pace.
💬Build Relationships
Form relationships with the villagers to learn about their lives, stories, and the challenges they are currently facing.
🎲90s Village Activities
The village also offers activities and items inspired by the atmosphere of the 1990s, including traditional games and a board of chance that brings a nostalgic experience.
