Welcome to the Sugar Shack! Located at the center of a world that seems stuck in the middle of an eternal spring, this cozy little place of joy and syrupy goodness is now all yours. Fire up the oven, strike the earth, tap some maple, and revive the land around the shack. Improve the home’s reputation by welcoming customers, selling produce, and baking home-made products to create a sense of community all around. Bring life and happiness to a new, magical world - on your own or together with friends!(Storyline via IGDB)
