04

The college year

You arrive in Mossport with Shadbrook Cottage already in your name. Fable, the talking cottage familiar, walks you to enrolment with a plan that pays for classes and the house. Professor Carlyle leads the coven you live and study with. Assignments on the college board pay merits, and those merits are the ticket into the exams as well as the college shop. Each passed exam lets Professor Carlyle teach one spell. Early classes cover tea, incense, and salves. Later classes move on to potion brewing, astrological divination, and arcane rituals. Professor Wixx runs a practical demonstration rather than a lecture you only sit through. A finished grade opens new classes and some further parts of town. A walk, a conversation, or petting a dog can raise wellbeing. A late night can lower it. When the day closes, those events are tallied. Playtests of the first in-game year ran about 40 to 50 hours. Credits for helping the town stay a separate tally from both money and merits.

05

Romance cards

Dating starts at the Mossport post office. Eleven characters can be romanced, and six covenmates are already named: Hana Satō, Eli Ivers, Cormac Fitzroy, Pip Marin, Leif Blomgren, and Evadne Gladwin. Kiara Chandra has a birthday of Autumn 15 and a home at 2 Casterwick Avenue, and she was not in that list of six. One card asks someone out, one asks to go steady, and one ends the relationship. Stock rotates with the season. You plan two activities, and more than 200 chatter spots react to the place you walk through, whether that is a jewellery shop, the college bridge, or seaweed on the beach. You learn the result when you walk them home. A covenmate's story can still be finished with no romance at all. Faculty, Fable, and the town residents are not people you date. Four covenmates are still unannounced.

06

Houses in co-op

Shadbrook Cottage is the two-storey house your aunt left you, with a garden on the plot and a fishing spot down the lane. Justin and Violet run Harbour Home in the Docklands. Their furniture, flooring, wallpaper, and lamps rotate by the day, and more than 600 colour-swap pieces, plus clutter, are in the decorating set. A wand can already move furniture before any tutorial. Online play supports up to four people. Extra players expand the land around the aunt's cottage and open three smaller houses: a watermill, a sunroom over the brook, and a house built into a cliff. Those houses appear because another player joined. Each one is smaller than the aunt's cottage and keeps its own rustic plan. The aunt's cottage stays the host house beside them. Friends in the same session can move furniture without dropping the game.
