Littlewood

About

Littlewood lets you rebuild a shattered world one wooden beam and friendship at a time. After defeating a dark wizard, you return to a land in ruins where survival means chopping trees, casting fishing lines, and trading goods to fund your town’s revival. Attract settlers by fulfilling quirky housing requests, like placing a home near water or under trees, while uncovering fragmented memories through dialogue. The game blends resource management with RPG-style character interactions, letting you prioritize crafting a magical library or a bustling tavern. Every activity from bug catching to farming contributes to expanding your settlement and deepening ties with residents. What stands out is the cozy, unhurried pace that balances exploration with personal stories. Players spend hours customizing layouts and nurturing relationships, rewarded with new quests and seasonal events. Steam users rate it 85% positive, praising its warm art style and satisfying loop of gathering, building, and bonding. While not action-packed, its focus on community and creativity appeals to those craving a slower RPG where your choices shape both the land and its people. The Switch port makes it easy to pick up between errands or during weekend settles.

Storyline

You defeated the Dark Wizard. The world of Solemn is finally at peace, but at what cost? You can't quite remember... Explore the vast world of Solemn. Enchanted Forests, Bustling Fishing Towns, & Dark Mining Caves are some of the few places to visit. Meet Townsfolk and convince them to stay in your town. Perhaps meeting people will unlock your memories of the past… Collect rare items and materials found across the world and bring them back to your town for selling and crafting! Harvest materials by chopping wood, mining ores, catching bugs, and fishing in rivers and ponds! Unlock new structures to build by meeting new Townsfolk. Want a Tavern or a Lumber Mill? How about a Fishing Hut or a Magical Library? Your town's design is all up to you! Fulfill your Townsfolk's requests. Some may want to live on a higher elevation, others may want to be surrounded by trees and water. Fulfilling the requests of your Townsfolk will earn you their hearts and unlock new relationship paths. Gathering: Whether you’re picking fruit or picking weeds, your gathering skill will level up! The Gatherer’s Glove is needed to unlock this ability. Mining: Looking for shiny ores to collect? Interested in rare materials for crafting? Then mining is for you! Woodcutting: Those pesky trees and debris that keep popping up all over town needs to be chopped! Wood is an essential material for building new structures and furniture. Bug Catching: Craft a Bug Net and catch all sorts of critters. Be sure to go bug hunting during each season and at different times of the day! Fishing: There's nothing quite like relaxing by a pond with a fishing rod in hand. You can sell fish for a decent price at the Shopping District, or use them as ingredients for new cooking dishes. Farming: Plant some seeds in tilled soil and wait a few days. Veggies are an essential ingredient to many cooking recipes! Also, they make your town look pretty. Cooking: Once you've built the Tavern and have become good friends with Bubsy, you'll be able to start cooking delicious meals for your Townsfolk! Maybe you can attract rare Townsfolk by serving unique dishes... Crafting: There are tons of structures, decorative monuments, and furniture to craft. Often times your Townsfolk will request specific objects that they would like to be placed in their home. Make sure you gather enough building materials! Merchanting: Selling items at the Shopping District will net you large sums of Dewdrops, which is the main currency in Solemn. As you become a better Merchant, rarer items will appear for you to buy! Tarott Master: Once the Dark Wizard was defeated, all of his monsters were sealed away into Tarott Cards. Many Townsfolk collect and battle with these cards, and there is even a big competition held each year in Dirboros. Get collecting!
