Winning and losing

A run is won then the entire Reputation Bar is filled.

A run is lost when the entire Impatience Bar is filled or when all villagers leave or die.

Reputation points

You can gain Reputation Points in three different ways:

  • Completing Orders: Each completed order grants 1 Reputation.
  • Perks and Goods: Some Traders can offer Perks or Goods that increase Reputation.
  • Villagers Resolve: Once a villager's Resolve reaches a certain threshold (indicated by a blue line on the Resolve Bar) they will start to generate Reputation passively. With time, the villagers will become accustomed to their living conditions, raising the threshold and requiring more complex needs to be satisfied.
  • Glade Events: Give various amounts of Reputation, with Dangerous Glades and Forbidden Glades giving more.

Orders

Periodically the Citadel will assign new Orders, accessible from the envelope icon on the top-right. Orders will grant 1 Reputation as well as additional rewards.

Seasons

There are three seasons. The first one is Drizzle, when crops are planted and positive effects are active. The second one is Clearance, when crops are harvested. The last one is Storm, when Forest Mysteries are active.
