概要
Set twenty years after the devastating Great Calamity, Seeds of Calamity invites you to trade the bustling capital of Arnfell for a quiet frontier village. Cultivate an abandoned farm, restore the community, and explore dangerous dungeons in this incredibly cozy indie RPG. With your fluffy Spellbook Companion by your side, you'll plant magical crops, battle monsters in accessible turn-based combat, and uncover small joys amid a recovering world.
ストーリー
Decades after a powerful beast ravaged the land and assaulted the capital city of Arnfell, you relocate to a remote wayside town to breathe life into an abandoned farm. Your mission is to support community restoration, heal the scarred landscape, and send valuable resources back to the capital while celebrating the resilience of the villagers.
Gameplay
Experience a relaxing blend of agricultural life sim and turn-based JRPG combat. Tend crops across four distinct seasons, raise animals, and delve into monster-filled dungeons with the help of your magical Spellbook Companion.
