![]() You gain a health bonus when residents' smile meter is high, so it's particularly valuable to make sure everyone has what they need.Īlthough some materials can be grown in your own garden most need to be collected while exploring the desert, and that's where the game shifts gears into an action-RPG. And it's not just in the interests of your wallet to keep the residents happy. In return you earn part of the profits–dewadems are the currency of Ever Oasis–which you can put toward building new shops and purchasing equipment. The fruit shop needs fruits to sell, the clothing store needs animal fur, etc. You have the authority to place shops along the main road of the oasis as well as the responsibility to keep the shops well stocked on whatever materials they need to produce goods. Here's where your mayoral duties come into play, though. As you progress through the game more and more shop owners arrive–some characters only appear if the prerequisite shop is already in place–and the more residents you have the stronger the oasis becomes. ![]() You start off with one friendly Seedling that opens a shop in your oasis. So the first step toward building a bustling oasis is gathering residents, and how do you gather residents in Ever Oasis? Through shopping of course. All of the Seedling shop owners you meet have their own little stories too, most just as saccharine as the main plot, but all of them endearing. It's a charming little story about preserving life and community, and even if the overarching plot feels cliché at times it's hard not to be captivated by the game's cute aesthetic. With the help of Esna, a water spirit, you work to build the type of home that would have made your brother proud. As the last Child of the Great Tree it is your responsibility to create a new oasis as a haven for all travelers. And that's where the game's plot kicks off: it's a normal day in the happy little oasis run by your brother when the evil force of Chaos attacks and threatens all life in the desert. The characters are adorable little creatures, from the Seedlings that open shops in your oasis to the Noots that come to spend money–even the enemies are pretty endearing, especially since most are animals corrupted by an evil force. ![]() Here's a warning for you right now: Ever Oasis is almost painfully cute. ![]()
