Guides

Guides and walkthrough hub

Start with the beginner page and the village rules, then use the production guides. Each page cites the official system page or names the community guide it used. Numbers from a single guide stay labeled.

Sources and verification

Source review updated 2026-10-28. Publisher statements and store listings may share a source; two links alone do not establish independent confirmation. Unless an independent cross-check is explicitly identified, treat a named publisher or store claim as a single-source statement. Access restrictions and disagreements are marked in the article.

Questions

Where do I start?

The beginner guide, then the rules page before you stay out past the curfew.

Are these official walkthroughs?

No. Official pages describe systems. Step lists come from community guides and are labeled.

Is there one crop page per vegetable?

No. Crops stay on the farming page so the site does not split into thin entries.

How many achievements are there?

Steam lists 52.

Which guide is safe to read first?

Beginner and rules. Endings and yokai pages are marked for story spoilers.
