The Village Above the Well

At the center of an old mining village stands a well older than the houses around it. Beneath it, abandoned galleries run through quarries, furnaces, crystal caves and ruins built by a forgotten people. Your grandfather lost down there the only keepsake he had left of the woman he loved: a small blue stone medallion. Too old to climb down, he asks you not to risk your life over an object. But you understand that what was lost was never just a piece of jewelry. Rebuild the village. Equip the adventurer. Bring back what the dark took. REBUILD THE VILLAGE Gather wood, stone, iron and crystal across three quality tiers. Raise a sawmill, quarry, warehouse, forge and arcane workshop — every building placed by you, wherever you want on the map. HIRE AND AUTOMATE Hire woodcutters, stoneworkers, miners and lapidaries. Send them on expeditions that keep producing even while the game is closed, from 10 minutes to 12 hours, and come back to a richer village than you left. REFINE, FORGE, EQUIP Turn raw material into planks, blocks, ingots and catalysts. Forge equipment, upgrade tools to reach better resources, and improve every piece of the adventurer's gear. DESCEND THE WELL Seven dungeons, ten floors each. Combat resolves on its own while you tend the village — but how deep it gets depends on what you built up top. Uncover 42 relics that strengthen the hero and slowly reveal what lay beneath the village before it existed. PROGRESSION THAT NEVER STOPS Skill trees for mining and combat, three tiers of tools, ten upgrade levels per equipment piece, and a well that only opens fully to those who gather the six parts of the Founder's Seal. A small story about memory, loss and the way back home — told through a village you rebuild yourself, stone by stone.
