How it plays
The real shrimp farm, as a cozy game
Every mechanic comes from real aquaculture. The clock is simple: 1 real hour = 1 farm day, so a 90-day whiteleg crop is ready in about 90 hours.
Raise
Start with a glass tank behind a noodle shop. Stock post-larvae, feed at dusk, and grow into a pond empire.
Molt Watch
Shrimp only grow when they shed their shell. Prep each Molt Watch and the whole pond jumps a size.
Keep the water
Oxygen, pH, ammonia, temperature. Keep them in the green and your shrimp grow bigger and brighter.
Sell & cook
Sell at the market board, cook tom yum for the night market, or trade feed and stock with other farmers.
The pond
From whiteleg to shiny
Start with fast, forgiving whiteleg. Work up to the giant river prawn and its blue claw. Then breed ornamental shrimp toward the grades real hobbyists chase.
