Rye Hollow

The valley is yours. So is the debt. EIGHTY DAYS, FOUR INSTALLMENTS Rye Hollow drops you into a 1.5-kilometre-square frontier valley with a signed note: $4,800, due in four $1,200 installments across eighty days. Every twenty-minute day is yours to spend — plant, hunt, build, trade — and every dusk the ledger remembers how you spent it. A HOMESTEAD THAT STANDS OR FALLS Build from real pieces on a one-metre grid — walls, roofs, porches, pens — with genuine structural integrity: unsupported spans sag and collapse piece by piece. Furnish your claim with five crafting stations, from workbench to forge to gun bench, each with its own radial recipe wheel over the live world. KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE Five vitals — health, stamina, hunger, thirst and warmth — ride the seasons. Spring rain, summer heat, autumn winds and winter cold each change what the land gives and what it takes. Fourteen plant species dress the valley, from prickly pear and sagebrush to mesquite and bone-dry snags. RIDERS IN THE YARD Make a name and the wrong people hear it. Raid parties hit your homestead in escalating tiers — the warning banner goes up, rustlers close in, and how you answer feeds a two-column ledger of Notoriety and Standing that shapes what the valley thinks of you. A LIVING WESTERN Third-person on foot, a horse and cart for the long hauls, moonlit nights, radial crafting, an 80-cell debt calendar you can read like a novel. No network, no season pass — one valley, one note, one settler. Fully offline, single player, no purchases and no ads. Keyboard, mouse and gamepad, with a full 10-foot interface.
