Wickendell
A great earthquake ruined the valley. You wake alone by a campfire, with a little magic and a lot of work to do.

A cozy idle game about coming home
Wickendell is a slow, warm incremental game in 2.5D pixel art. It is quietly sad and hopeful, and it never hurries you.
A village that grows
Raise a roof and the survivors come back. Build houses, workshops and halls until the ruins are a city with lamps in the windows.
Skills to level
Woodcutting, Mining, Fishing, Herbalism, Archaeology, Hearthkeeping and Mending each grow with use and unlock gifts and better tools.
A story with an ending
Wake from the dream as often as you like and begin again, a little wiser. Each dream tells a little more, and the story does end.
No hunger, no guilt
Villagers never starve. Nobody scolds you for being away. When you return, the valley tells you what it made while you slept.
Little text, much calm
Short panels, one at a time, soft light and sound that stays off until you ask. Easy on a small screen and easy on the nerves.
How it plays
Active at first, then more and more by itself, until your people do the work and you decide where the valley goes.
Gather. Walk up to a tree or a rock. Your tools rise and begin to work. Bring logs and stone to the Bonfire of Hope.
Build. Give the survivors a roof. Each building and each villager takes a piece of the work off your hands.
Grow. Level your skills, research new crafts, find a pet, and watch resources rise by the second.
Wake. When progress slows, wake from the dream. The village melts, your Light grows, and the valley comes back a little different.
The valley comes back to life
Raise a roof and the survivors come home, one by one.
Made for small screens, too
Every panel fits a phone. One thing opens at a time, Esc or a tap closes it, and the numbers stay calm and readable.
Your tools and skills have their own pages in the Hero's Spark panel, where you can see each level, each gift and what comes next.
