@Fuego People visit your oasis and you typically do a quest for them. Which results in them moving in and most of them will literally PLANT A CUTE LITTLE SHOP that grows and sells things for you. As you keep their store stocked they will offer other quests later to rank it up and such. ^^
@Sangria p.s. I liek ur hood.
@Fuego Thank yooooou. XD
@Fuego And when you go exploring you can bring two villagers with you. They all have there own skills and such. Some are passive, some active, some are for gathering and some are actual exploration skills that let you traverse dungeons. I have one seedling that turns into a little seed ball that can go through holes. Another character is a lizard folk with a spear who can use it to hit switches and flip over things in the environment for items or traversal.
@Sangria kinda sounds like secret of mana in that regard
@Fuego Funnily enough Koichi Ishii headed this game. ^^
@Sangria well that seals it.
@Fuego Its really fun and cute if you like Zelda style dungeon exploration and a simple but really cute and engaging town management sim. And from what ive seen it gets fairly in depth later. ^^
