How to play

  1. Choose one activity per week for 24 weeks. Lessons cost three coins and twelve energy.
  2. Working earns ten coins; resting restores 35 energy and adds two care. Festivals reward a rotating skill every four weeks.
  3. Seven endings depend on your final skills, care and savings. There is no wrong life to choose.
