Field notes
Hinata Village is framed as a story-led village, while Kiriyama Hamlet is a free-play mountain setting with terraced farming, charcoal and soba. The page says crops continue growing while the game is closed and that browser saves are automatic, with a warning that clearing site data can erase them.
