We confirmed to join this Next Fest! Get ready to play!

This is Bone Nail & 2P Games. To make it into this Next Fest smoothly, we've already pulled a bunch of all-nighters—at least we made it in time! "The Piper of Dawn" is joining Steam Next Fest on February 24. We’ll be releasing a new store page and a playable DEMO then—please add it to your wishlist and come play together!

[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3804370/_/"]This is a simulation & management game centered on farming + running a shop. You’ll play as a traveler who arrives in Diamond City, takes over an Alchemy Workshop, grows medicinal herbs, runs a shop, and becomes a master Alchemist. You’ll gradually dive deeper into local life, deal with all kinds of human and non-human, gain Friendship and Harvest true love—then live a peaceful, happy life forever…

Of course, only if you don’t care about those unnatural events…

—Ah… you mean in this game, You not only have to farm, Alchemist, and run a shop

but also act as a super high-burn-rate investigator under a Cthulhu worldview framework???

DEMO Content Preview

• Farming (a must!)

• Fishing (limited by the DEMO’s scope, there are only 7 kinds of fish—give it a try first!)

• Complete Orders (a money-making weapon)

• Running a Shop (free decoration)

• Card Games (save the world later—let’s play a round of Blackjack!)

• Alchemist (add a bit more, produce a bit more)

• Show the Oracle!

Story-wise, it includes the first 2 weeks from the start of the game. You’ll establish initial connections with key characters who will later become your employees. They are:

• Sissi, a super-strong tavern worker

• Nana, high-IQ with stable SAN

• Gretel, an ace investigator of mysterious incidents

• Princess Ourura, who can freely draw oracles

• Cat

and more…

Limited by the DEMO’s length and pacing, the Peoplesprout system and related story content are mainly shown as a preview this time.

This system will open in the mid-game of the full release. With the Peoplesprout management system, you can easily take care of most repetitive tasks.

Some ramblings about making it into Next Fest...

We originally signed up for the previous Next Fest, but while exhibiting offline we received a lot of on-site feedback. We made quite a few gameplay optimizations (this is also recorded in our previous title "Yog-Sothoth's Yard"), and we also redid some of the art and script, so it got extended by several more months. A lot of the feedback we received at offline expos in various places has already been implemented into the game.

We hope to present everyone with a silky-smooth, comfy farming-and-Alchemist journey—welcome to come try it out!
