Stardew Valley, but It's Raft Survival

This is a lighthearted slice-of-life story featuring food, farming, and adventure.

Blurb One:

This is the story of Ailing during summer in Stardew Valley and out on the boundless sea.

Ailing is a farmer who works hard every day to earn money, and an all-purpose captain drifting across the ocean and building a raft.

In Pelican Town, she works hard every day to farm, fish, cook, and mine. She has experienced green rain falling from the sky, helped a certain town resident who preferred to remain unnamed find something that must not be spoken of, and even sneakily held up a train...

Life in Stardew Valley during summer is as colorful as ever.

Out on the boundless sea, Ailing starts with a tiny raft, bravely fights sharks, and hauls in mountains of trash. She keeps expanding and developing the place she calls home, eventually turning a few planks into a gigantic ship.

Of course, while building her raft, she passes countless islands and meets many like-minded companions: Yibeika, who can communicate with plants and grant them the power to act on their own; the Whisperer Leia, whose wind-speaking is dismissed as the ravings of someone considered a child of disaster; Anbi, who earns full marks on every exam she takes, whether or not she knows the material; Heyue, who randomly checks someone else's talent and job records every day; Dorothy, who is skilled at fortune-telling, but whose predictions about good things never come true while her bad ones always do; and the bears, who have nothing but their strength and came aboard in pursuit of the scent of the ship's beehives, along with their leader, and many others.

Blurb Two:

When she wakes up, Ailing, the Stardew Valley farmer who has just enjoyed a colorful summer, finds herself stranded at sea. Aside from the things in her backpack and the raft beneath her, there is nothing at all.

Fortunately, the crafting recipes she unlocked back in Stardew Valley can still be used with the materials available here as substitutes.

In that case...

Come forth, my Cherry Bombs, beehives, and crab pots!

Blowing up sharks, keeping bees and harvesting honey, regularly checking the fish in her pots, and turning useless junk into useful materials with a recycler...

And so the farmer Ailing and her Stardew Valley specialty recipes embark on a sea-bound construction adventure.
