Áine and Shane Callahan, the game's protagonists, are second-generation Irish-American siblings dropped by circumstance into the unforgiving deserts of the 1860's frontier after a catastrophic journey over the Oregon Trail. Join them as they navigate the challenges of building a homestead in such a sparse environment and as they journey beyond the veil to discover a world of magic, fae kingdoms, and dangerous monsters.
Casual Mode will be accessible to those new to management and survival mechanics, or those who are looking to engage more in the crafting and story aspects. Moderate Mode is for experienced survival game players who are looking for more of a challenge.

Game Description:
A story-driven, historically-grounded Farm Sim exploring life after loss. Survive in a sparse landscape and find new meaning through your adventures. Make peace with the past and forge a new future by building relationships, creating a new home, and discovering a world beyond the veil.
Features:
Farm, Forage, & Hunt to Survive
Living in the desert isn't easy, but the magical abilities that force the protagonists to isolate themselves also helps them make the most of the environment. Farm, forage, and hunt to scrape by in the sparse desert of Eastern Oregon.
Unravel a Mystery
Guide Shane and Áine through the twists and turns of their search for answers about the monster attacks that threaten their fragile livelihood. Where will this undertaking lead these unlikely adventurers?
Forge Relationships
Survival isn't just about finding food and shelter. It's also about making life worth living. The support and attention of loved ones, romantic and otherwise, will bolster your spirit and give you strength.
Fight & Prevail
A homesteader isn't usually well-equipped for armed struggle, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your sibling to defend your homestead against magical monsters.
Cook & Craft
Frontier cuisine is more about filling bellies than making an impression - scrape together what you can to conquer scarcity. Overcome challenges with tools and handicrafts that you create.
