Conversations#

Right-click a nearby resident to speak; choose responses with the mouse or keyboard focus/Enter. Escape closes conversation. Time and tool actions pause during dialogue.

Long NPC speeches continue across reading pages. Click Continue or press Enter to advance; response choices appear on the final page. Esc closes the conversation at any point.

Friendship#

Speaking grants one friendship point per day, not per click. Labels change from new acquaintance to familiar face (5) to friend (15); no decay or compulsory social chores. History records meeting, backstory, advice and the repair plan only once. Restoring the home unlocks a hopeful future conversation.

Gifts#

Select an item in the hotbar, speak and choose “Give 1 [item]” to gift exactly one selected item.

Seeds, tools and placeables cannot be gifted; a missing/unavailable item is not a Neutral gift.

Both caps apply per resident: one gift per day and two per calendar week, including neutral, disliked and hated gifts. Weeks are days 1–7, 8–14 and so on; the Journal shows two usage checkboxes and the reset day. Exactly one selected item is consumed. Friendship clamps to 0–100; Neutral consumes the gift and daily and weekly allowances but changes friendship by zero.

Quality and birthdays do not multiply points in this pass. There is no automatic friendship decay.

Relationship journal#

Only met residents appear. Each row shows the existing portrait, name, relationship label, six hearts, discovered birthday and two weekly gift checkboxes. A checked box is one gift given this week; the ledger footer shows the next reset day. Select by click or Up/Down; Page Up/Down and Home/End navigate longer lists.

The sort control cycles Name, Friendship and upcoming Birthday; unknown birthdays sort last.

Selecting a resident updates the fixed lower two-row, three-column panel of discovered loved gifts.

Speak to a resident and choose “When is your birthday?” to record their authored date.

The journal continues to show only discovered Loves, with at most six icons. Other tastes are conveyed by the NPC's reaction and affect friendship but are not added to the journal grid.

Usage resets at the first morning of the next seven-day block (days 8, 15, 22, 29, …), including natural dawn or sleeping; it is not a rolling seven-day cooldown.

Mara#

Mara is a former valley carpenter with gray hair, a teal coat, mustard scarf and worn apron.

On clear days she is indoors before 08:00 and after 20:00, by the house in the morning, near the farm path at midday, and back toward home at 17:00. Rain keeps her indoors.

Otto#

Otto Bush, 65, runs the co-op in Latch.

The co-op counter is reachable from the front; right-clicking Otto or the counter opens conversation, and “Browse the shelves” opens the shop.
