You arrive on Longvinter Island as part of a research team sent to uncover its unique resources and the secrets others have tried to conceal. Beginning at a modest camp, you’ll gather raw materials, sell surplus goods, and reinvest your profits in ever-better tools and gear. Along the way you’ll encounter rival researchers—forge alliances, wage skirmishes, or plot betrayals as you all vie for the island’s riches. Trade routes and vendor stalls let you turn discoveries into steady income, while your growing reputation opens doors to new opportunities.
