From first spell to first sale
Choose the step you are on. Each guide gives the input, what you should see, and what to try if nothing happens.
Give the magic a target
Playing the song is only the first part. Queue a plot, confirm the work, then plant seeds after the hoe finishes.
Sell without losing a stack
Use Ctrl to take one item or Shift to split a stack. Select the item with left-click before clicking the well.
Quick answers
The small steps that stop progress
These answers apply to the public demo. Open the linked guide or source when your on-screen prompt differs.
The flute worked, but the ground did not change?
After casting, move the placement cursor, press A to queue a plot, then X to confirm. X alone submits an empty queue.
See the tilling stepsWhere is the axe?
There is no axe to find in your inventory. Play Chant of the Woodcutters and target a dead tree on the farm.
See the tree stepsWhere do you refill the watering can?
At the little pond, according to Eastshade. The selling well is a different interaction.

Open inventory and use the arrows beside your character to switch clothing in the demo.

Demo answers, dated and sourced
The full PC game is planned for September 30, 2026. Each guide labels what was reported in the public demo. Controller sequences from players are marked as player reports, while developer explanations are attributed to Eastshade.
The cause of the separate “unsuitable plot” seed message is still unresolved in the source discussion. Start with the confirmed planting flow and compare your version’s prompt before assuming a fix. See our source notes for how these answers are checked.
