Survival: The 3 AM Weeding The survival elements
The survival elements are brutal. Seasons last only 7 real-time days. Rain can flood your plots. A "Frost Wyrm" migration can flash-freeze your entire pumpkin patch.
You will find yourself at 2:00 AM in-game, starving, holding a single raw potato, listening to the howl of a "Stalk Stalker" (a monster that looks suspiciously like a giant corn husk).
