๐
Click a building to step inside and watch people cook, work, sleep and mingle room by room.
๐ฐ
Watch the Town Feed (right side) for the drama โ romance, feuds, births, crime, fortunes. Click "go toโฆ" on any story to jump there.
โจ

โจ AI Story Beats โ optional
Willowmere is 100% free and needs no AI. This only adds occasional extra story lines, batched to stay cheap.

โ ๏ธ AI calls only work when the page is served over http/https (on itch.io it already is; opening the raw file:// won't call out). Your key lives in this browser's private storage โ it is not written into the game file, so publishing the game never exposes it. Each player uses their own key.
