About the Game

In this casual adventure game you are an adventurer with no memory of your past. And with no money, no food, no weapons, no house, just the clothes you're wearing. You need to find the truth about yourself, but first need to find a way to get food and housing.

And how to do all that? Find a job, of course! Help the residents of the small city you arrived on, do tasks for the "Lost and Found Office". Even just wandering around the world can help you. Who knows what you will find?

Features

  • Open world. From normal to big sized regions for you to explore, with many caves, dungeons, and abandoned buildings.

  • Housing. You start with no house. Yes, you haven't inherited a farm from someone. But you can have more than one house. Buy them, or earn them, or just find a derelitic building in the woods and start rebuilding. There is so many options.

  • Crafting. Create food to have energy and survive. Craft new candles. And more.

  • Fishing. Because all games need to have fishing, right? Don't worry with the mini-game, it's friendly.

  • Candles. The soul of the game, of course. Lit them to iluminate places and reveal hidden objects. Craft them, because you will need new candles too. And candles runs out over time. Always carry candles and matches in your backpack.

  • Interact with people, and even strange creatures. They can have quests for you, or just usefull tips. But you're not required to know everyone, people here are nice with introverts.

  • Survival. Nothing too hard here, just try to not die in extreme cold or extreme hot places. Make food and drinks to help you.

  • Looting. You can find loot everywhere, just pay attention since some things are hidden. Don't forget to carry some lockpicks, you never know when you will find a locked chest or door.

  • Joining groups. You can be a member of some groups, like the Magic School. Find a way to help them, and start climbing the ranks. They can help you a lot.

  • Save anywhere. You don't need to run back home to save your progress. Life is calling? Save and go.

  • And much more. The game is still in development, so wait for surprises.
