The game is viewed from an overhead perspective. Each day, the player tends crops, feeds livestock, gathers materials, fishes, explores nearby areas, and speaks with residents. Stamina and time limit the number of activities possible before bedtime.

The year is divided into four seasons, with festivals and weekly bazaars providing milestones. Goods can be processed or cooked, then sold at the bazaar. Better tools, larger facilities, additional animals, and bazaar upgrades expand the farm and improve the town’s economy.

Prioritize crops that fit the current season and keep a reserve of seeds for replanting. Process or cook valuable items when the added value justifies the time and materials.

Use the days before the bazaar to prepare a varied stock. Improve tools when possible, but protect enough stamina for watering, animal care, and essential gathering. Talk to residents regularly and give suitable gifts to build relationships steadily.
