Cinderisle

You inherit more than a weathered inn. You inherit an entire island that the world has slowly forgotten.

While training at a knight academy, the protagonist learns that the island once cared for by their grandparents will soon be claimed by the Empire. To protect a treasured childhood memory and choose a future of their own, they set sail for the abandoned shore.

Bring a Daily Rhythm Back to an Empty Island
Clear overgrown fields and grow seasonal crops. Travel between forests, beaches, and open fields to gather wood, stone, herbs, fruit, and unusual materials. Maintain and improve your tools to reach resources that were once out of reach, then decide how each day should unfold.

What you gather is more than something to sell. Ingredients become meals and drinks, while raw materials become furniture, facilities, and new places to live. Every day on the island opens a few more possibilities for the next.

The Light of the Inn Draws People In
Clean up the old inn, place beds and furniture, and prepare welcoming spaces for travelers. Cook with ingredients gathered across the island and shape the guest rooms and common areas yourself.

Fishers, herbalists, farmers, and adventurers bring different personalities, interests, and small requests. As the island becomes safer, more comfortable, and easier to live on, someone who came only to rest may decide to call it home.

Grow an Outpost into a Living Village
Build homes and useful facilities, organize paths and spaces, and improve the island's environment. Beauty, safety, comfort, and the services you provide all shape who takes an interest in settling there. The order in which you build, and the places you choose as gathering points, allow your village to grow in its own way.

There is no finished town waiting for you to copy. Start with the inn, add what the island needs, and watch empty paths slowly become places where neighbors meet.

Discover the Stories Left Across the Island
Fish in rivers, ponds, and the open sea, then record your best catches. Explore forests, beaches, mountains, and mines to discover new ingredients, materials, and recipes. Improve your tools and reach places that were inaccessible when you first arrived.

Seasons, time, and weather change more than the scenery. Forage, fish, and daily routines shift, while rain, storms, and snow can lead to encounters you would not see on an ordinary day. There is no need to rush. Tend the field today, spend tomorrow fishing, and rearrange the inn the day after.
