01 / THE GUIDE
World Building
The game provides a modular system of more than 100 distinct world pieces, each belonging to a specific biome. By placing these pieces you create an outpost that reflects the materials and visual style of the chosen biomes.
Personal touches such as handcrafted furniture, gardens, and a porch can be added, allowing players to shape both functional and aesthetic aspects of their base while exploring the surrounding environment.
- Combine biomes that share complementary resources to broaden material variety.
- Position workstations close to the raw materials they process for smoother crafting.

Crafting & Survival
Resources gathered from biomes can be turned into workbenches, sawmills, furnaces, and anvils. These stations enable the creation of weapons, tools, and cooking items needed for hunting, fishing, and defending against Lost Souls.
Advancing crafting skills unlocks more sophisticated gear, which in turn supports deeper exploration and tougher encounters within the world.
- Prioritize building a furnace early to expand metalworking options.
- Maintain a balance between hunting and farming to keep food supplies steady.

Farming
Seeds collected from wild herbs and vegetables let you establish crop farms. Regular watering and the use of fertilizer increase growth speed, turning farms into reliable sources of food and crafting materials.
Managing a farm requires monitoring water levels and applying fertilizer strategically, which supports both survival needs and the production of items for crafting.
- Apply fertilizer to high‑yield crops for faster harvest cycles.
- Schedule watering sessions to avoid growth delays.

Exploration & Quests
Players can roam varied biomes at their own pace, completing optional quests that reveal the land’s secrets and the story of the young woman caught in conflict.
Quest completion encourages exploration while allowing players to focus on building or combat as they prefer.
- Map biome borders to locate rare resources quickly.
- Choose quests you want to explore while following the land’s story.
