Description

In Echoes of the Plum Grove, players will find themselves on a small island as the newest villager of the humble town of Honeywood. Tasked with taking over a local farm, the player will grow crops, gather resources, mine, fish, and socialize with the often friendly (sometimes mean) population. But all the while, something mysterious is transpiring on the island... what could it be?

History

While on a hike in the Pacific Northwest, we found ourselves talking about game ideas. We wanted to make a farming sim, but with survival elements — a game where you'd need to grow your own food for your character to stay alive, and to help those around you. If NPCs could die, they would need dynamic replacements; either new villagers would have to take their place or children would have apprenticed and learned the trade. Years later, after many system prototypes and art concepts, the first playable version of Echoes of the Plum Grove was created.

Features

• Prepare for winter: farm, gather, fish, mine, and more to stock your cellar with enough food and medicine to survive.
• Socialize with other villagers: Make friends by chatting and fulfilling quests. Make enemies by insulting and gifting poisonous presents.
• Dynamic NPCs: Villagers' schedules are determined by their jobs, traits, and hobbies. Over time they will get married, raise children, and pass away.
• Dynastic Gameplay: When your character dies, play as one of your children and continue your family legacy.
• Solve the island's mysteries: Something is amiss with the ghosts of those who recently passed. Seek the aid of the local witch.
