Swappin' stories and settlin' in with your neighbours - Get to know the townsfolk, hear their stories, help them out. The people here are a hardy bunch - you’ve got be to survive here. But they have hearts as warm as a hearth in the wintertime if you make the effort to stoke the flames.

Rodeos to Romance - Making friends is a must in the Wilderness, relying on each other through thick and thin. But maybe you've got a yearnin' for more? With 18 romanceable characters, take a chance and grab love by the reigns.
