Gameplay features you should know

After a shipwreck and sudden storm, you wake up on a strange deserted island. Your objective in Sugardew Island is to rebuild the island by connecting with the local Forest Folk and restoring the island’s harmony through trade and farming.

Farming is the primary pillar of your success, so you’ll start by planting seeds and watering them regularly. Natural resources can be harnessed to make fertilizer, which helps the crops to grow faster and in better quality. After harvesting the crops, they can be traded with the Forest Folk in exchange for Harmony.

Your shop will be your main source of income and a way to connect with the Forest Folk. Keep it stocked with fresh produce, animal products, and crafted goods. When the Forest Folk come to trade, don’t just accept the first offer. Try negotiating for better prices to maximize your earnings.

The Harmony Tree plays a key role in bringing stability to the island. It will assign objectives like collecting particular things or placing orders for you to complete. Accomplishing these objectives will aid in healing the tree, expanding the boundaries of the island, and restoring life to it. The island will become livelier and more colorful as you complete more quests.
