I reached Town 2. What should I do next?
Town 2 opens several things at once: Old Woods, Elderfield High, Town 3. The main route continues to Town 3, and none of the others has to be finished first.

The release’s answer to “What does it unlock?” carries no sentence this page can print: the record files links for this answer, and every link is already on this page: the recorded step “Town 2”, the parallel track “Old Woods”, the recorded step “Town 3”. There is no sentence to print and nothing here that is not listed already.
Quick Route
The towns run in the order the record walks them; each line is one recorded step.
Before You Start
The release places this stage first: it records nothing in front of the town route, so nothing has to be fetched or finished before it starts.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
The towns are the only part of the release that is a straight line, and everything else is gated behind having walked it. Farmer Hans looks like a side character and is not: the Farm conversation is what opens Town 2 and starts the Ranch calendar.
Step 1Town 1
- What to do
- Start
- Where
- Town 1
- What it advances
- Farm · Mall · Lakefront · Sewers
The release records no separate condition for this step: its task page files the cell that follows it, so nothing is printed here as something to satisfy first.
Step 2Speak to Farmer Hans
- What to do
- Visit Farm / Hans
- What it advances
- Town 2 progression; Ranch calendar eligibility
The release records no page for this step, so the guide files no place to name for it and this page does not infer one from the step’s wording.

Main Tasks
The release files this stage as a stage of its route rather than a step of one task, so it carries no task page and none is listed here.
Important Items
The record names no item that changes what this stage opens or allows, so nothing here is listed as one.
Where You’ll Go
Optional & Parallel Content
Parallel content can be developed alongside this stage’s route; optional content is not confirmed as required. The record decides which is which, and the two are never mixed into the numbered step above.
Parallel
Farming, the Workshop, the Mall and the Lakefront are all reachable from Town 1, and none of them waits on the town route. You can start them the moment you find them.
The farming and Workshop upgrade path, both starting at the Farm.
Ranch
Opens as a system on Day 5, once you have spoken to Farmer Hans.
Continue exploring, and prepare for the later Deep Woods progression.
Elderfield High
A relationship-driven side path, unlocked through friendship.
Start weakening the seal through farming and animal progression.
The normal full-game entrance from Town 3, with its own local quests.
Optional
The record marks nothing on this stage as optional, so nothing here is offered as a can-skip extra.
Stuck in This Stage?
An area in this stage will not open
The checker walks the release’s own requirement tree for a destination and says which part is missing.
A required item is missing
The finder answers where each item comes from, so a missing key or rope can be sourced rather than guessed at.
You are not sure which step you are on
The assistant asks what you have finished and answers with the next recorded step.
You lost an item you already had
Item pages record where each one comes from, so the item can be checked against its own source rather than an inventory guess.
Choices in This Stage
The record files no branch on this stage — the steps above are the same whichever way the release is played.
Before You Leave
The record files no item, shop or system in this stage as something to use up before you leave.

Playing the Demo?
This stage is Steam only
The archived Demo records a different progression, and no Demo walkthrough is mapped to this Steam stage. The archive has a page of its own rather than a stage page with the same name.
