You start the game by choosing 5 villagers, a good tip would be to:
- Choose at least 1 male adult and 1 female adult (for mating purposes)
- Choose at least 1 child (to get child-only privileges like getting mushrooms or removing frogs)
- Try to get villagers who like running (saves time doing work)
- Villagers who like work are good too (so they don't stray easily)
- Conversely, try not to get villagers who dislike running or work
- I would make 1 child and make the other 4 adults
The story starts
In the wake of a volcanic terror on their home island, a group of survivors have set sail, seeking a new home. They discover Isola, a magical island paradise! Once home to a thriving society, now ruins and jungle! As their boat lands on the beach, a MYSTERIOUS MAN appears before them...
