A chill, vibey farming game with traditional roguelike trappings. Exploration and crafting lead to new discoveries and unobtrusive bits of lore that paint an outside world through implication and mystery.
interesting game if you're into incremental games. you collect materials and craft increasingly complex potions. there's a bit of exploration at the start, but once you have all the items you need the rest of the game will be farming and progressing the unlock tree. the crafts don't do anything except allow you to craft higher tier items and eventually win the game. it can use some qol improvements and it would be nice if there was a way to automate farming since you need thousands of materials
The game is pretty relaxing and quite fun. The foraging, crafting, and construction systems work quite well together. I've only just started, but I'm trying to create a wooden fortress of sorts, with enough interior amenities to survive a siege.
A really chill gathering and farming game, where you slowly uncover the mysterious of the world via the alchemical reagents you gather. It's fun to soak in the world building while lighting up a rollie. It runs well and haven't encountered any bugs. It just takes a moment to get used to the controls if you're used to using a mouse for everything.
