Players who need frequent character interaction may bounce off when they realize the travelling merchant is Talma’s only human contact. Those expecting rapid changes in activity may instead hit a wall during the recurring farm chores and daily routine.
What is The Stillness of the Wind?
Play as Talma, who remains in her village while her family and friends move to the city.
Set a daily routine around caring for goats, tending plants, growing vegetables, collecting eggs, and cooking meals. Goat milk can be made into cheese, and goods can be exchanged with a travelling merchant for supplies and other items. The merchant also brings letters that reveal news from the city.
