8 itemsAbout the Game
Adventure into a mythical world where every aspect of nature has a corresponding spirit. You wake up with only fragments of your past life — guided by a friendly Kitsune, you are tasked to purify and tame wild spirits in order to build a ranch and make sure these spirits are properly cared for.
Features:
Become a Spirit Rancher
A farming game where your crops are all alive! Need some vegetables? Feeding cabbage spirits will cause them to produce fresh cabbages for you to harvest. Need some iron? Then craft a pen of iron spirits to farm a fresh supply of iron! What’s more, each spirit hungers for a specific type of resource.
Craft Ecosystems
