About This Game

Kindled: To the Starlight is a life sim set in 2015 rural China during the anti-poverty drive
— not just a farm, but a whole village that runs itself:
villagers with needs and minds of their own, acting on their own and with each other.
Juggle people, power and business: farm, fish, rent land before others, hoard for the right price, and trade with Five Elements cards.
neighbors go from gifts to quarrels, six regions, six difficulties. Run for Village Head, raise an heir, pass it on.

20+ ways to play. Nothing you're forced to play — farm forever if you like, or go into business, or run for Village Head. No daily checklist. The village keeps running on its own, as always. We'll teach you the ropes, but we'll never push you to keep playing — what you play, how deep you go, how fast you go: up to you.

You live in a rural village in 2015, where you can choose:

Farming once is a thrill, farming always is pure bliss
