A few useful things to know
Walking, buttons & travel
WASD or arrow keys move you around town and the cottage. Click a clear path or use the walking buttons. Press E at an entrance or marked place. The travel menu takes you directly to an area.
At the pond, WASD walks and the arrow keys aim when you are on the dock. Hold Space to charge a cast, release it, press on a bite, then hold to reel and ease off when the fish runs. Tap controls offer an alternative to holding.
Finish or release a saved fishing line before traveling. If a save is unconfirmed, use its recovery prompt—do not begin the action again.
How to know you are saving
The green status strip says “Discord saves connected.” That connection follows you between areas in the same visit. Open the game inside Discord to connect your server’s saves.
If saving interrupts, play pauses and a reconnect prompt appears. Previously confirmed progress is safe; keep the page open to confirm an unfinished action. Saved play never turns into practice automatically.
Practice is deliberately unsaved. A page reload ends its visit. It cannot be imported into a real account.
Coins & game clocks
Coins are free game currency, with no purchase, cash value or cash-out. Fishing and free gifts at the arcade offer ways to earn them; coin games can also lose the stake you choose. There is no need to place a bet to enjoy the town.
Saved casts expire ten minutes after casting, arcade hands after fifteen minutes, and Last Light gives two minutes for each player turn. A started race finishes on the server. Those deadlines continue during travel or a settings pause.
Make it comfortable
Sound starts muted. You can enable quiet ambience, switch fishing cues off separately, reduce decorative motion, and enlarge interface text. Walking pauses while settings are open.
