The game also offers the player the opportunity to get married. The gameplay consists of three major aspects: farming, mining, and fighting. Farming is the most important aspect, as you need to grow plants and collect animals, which you can then sell at Pierre's store. Mining is essential for getting materials to craft items, so it is important to mine with a pickaxe and a hoe. Fighting is also important, as you need to defeat monsters to gain materials.
