Tending crops the old way

Your farm runs on attention to detail. You plant crops and manage water irrigation, fertilizer and temperature to bring in a harvest, then cook what you grow into Chinese-style dishes. It suits farming fans who like the slow work: watering by hand, watching the field, and turning fresh produce into a meal. You can also grow medicinal herbs for the road, so the garden feeds both the kitchen and your next trip out.

A farm worth defending

This is not only calm days in the field. You gather resources, build a home in ancient Chinese style, from wooden houses to bridges and pagodas, and protect it from Jaer cultists who come to pillage. You can team up with up to 3 friends, or rescue adventurers and give them food and shelter in return for work and defense. The mood stays cute and colorful, but you will need walls, weapons and a stocked pantry.

What else should you know?

Can you play with friends?

Yes. You can team up with up to 3 friends to explore, build and survive together, with each player bringing a different character to the shared world.

Can hired helpers work for you?

Yes. You can rescue adventurers and offer them food and shelter, and they help with work around your land and with defending it.

Do you have to fight?

Some fighting is part of life here. You brave the elements and natural threats, and stay ready for Jaer cultists who try to disturb your peace and take your resources.

What is there to find while exploring?
