Field notes
The described trading loop moves from checking weather and market rumors to sourcing produce, bargaining, and calculating the day’s profit or loss. The homepage also ties progression to village relationships: it says players may need introductions, gifts, or attendance at events to rent other stalls. Its Windows download is described as unsigned, while the browser version is said to work offline after an initial opening.
