Buy if you want a side-view farm that is also a light Metroidvania. Wait if you need a Deck-verified badge, a romance visual novel, or Stardew with a different coat. Controls and the missing Trello sit on the child pages.
Who 1.0 is for
Doloc Town is a side-scrolling pixel farm after a climate collapse. You take a ruined cliff from Kasia, plant in basins because the dirt will not grow a crop, and spend the first month on 320 energy, a 500 gold backpack, and a cargo pad you actually have to launch. The loop is vertical platforms, acid rain at 0.45, a Worn-Out Drone that spends battery, and four 28-day months: Light Rain, Heavy Rain, Early Dry, Harsh Dry. If that sentence sounds like your weekend, buy it. If you wanted marriage cutscenes, a verified Steam Deck badge, or a chat-box redeem, wait or pick another disk.
This is Steam app 2285550 from RedSaw, Logoi, and Pathea. 1.0 launched 5–6 August 2026. Early Access saves can continue; Old City, 80 achievements, and several unlocks assume the finished loop. The store page quotes 30-plus hours for the core and over 100 if you chase collection, genes, and automation. This page does not score the game — read who 1.0 is for, then buy or wait.
What the child pages actually answer
Controls are the binds videos use: WASD, E inspect, T tech, left click fire, right click lock, Space dodge, R or middle mouse auto-fire. Auto-aim in settings is not auto-fire. Fishing is hold to charge, lift on bite, hold green, release red, tap gold. Trello does not exist as a public board. People type the word because other indie sims keep one. Patch talk is Steam news and the official Discord in the footer. Discord invite and shop address live in the footer, not on this page.
Systems live in guides. How to play is the 6:00 wake. Early game is Endyam at 40 gold and dock Kelp at 40. Walkthrough is region order. Protect is weather as a combat stat. How to beat covers drone fights. Events are calendar gates, not a daily code mill. Codes are 12311, 24141, and 35321 at a physical booth. If a review promised a Trello screenshot, open the Trello child and stay honest.
Buy, wait, or bounce
Buy if you like a farm that is also a light dungeon: Doloc Rivervalley, Wetland, Old City Ruins, 33 unmarked rooms, and a factory cliff you rebuild with a pickaxe. Wait if you need controller-first UI — Steam Input may work; creator videos are keyboard-mouse. Bounce if you wanted Stardew with a new coat and no acid, no drones, and no 10-energy fishing casts. Animals eat ground crops even with full troughs. That is the design, not a bug.
This is a fan companion, not studio policy. Names and numbers come from the game and public notes. RedSaw, Logoi, and Pathea do not endorse this page. Tier lists help you pick tonight’s job. Tools apply tonight’s weather or name. Database lists sell prices. Use those if you already own the game. Use this hub if you are still in the store screenshot deciding whether to buy.
