01First evening
You arrive on a sunny island and inherit a scruffy farm. The first evening is planting, watering and meeting a very large cast of neighbours.
02A few weeks in
A few weeks in, you have routines: morning on the farm, afternoon diving on the reef, evening at the town square. There is a lot to do.

Days pass quickly and it is easy to say one more. Use bedtime as your stop: the game saves when you sleep.
Why it works
- Big, colourful world
- Reef restoration is a lovely idea
