Once the seeds are sown, the player must water them daily, after which they will be able to be picked and either sold, given away, eaten, or stored.

The player interacts with objects and citizens through dialogue similar to a visual novel, including representing the townfolk with anime-styled images to narrate the story.

When a bachelorette has 10 Love Points, Kyle can marry her and raise a child who becomes the secondary playable character.

While exploring, the player can fight monsters to increase their strength or befriend and keep them as livestock, farmhands, as well as battling companions.

The child also discovers their father left so he could merge himself to Fiersome to restrain the dragon's powers.
