Cornquest (placeholder title, pls do not kill me Crono) is a Dissidia Calamitas Infinita spin-off featuring many of the characters of the original DCI and DCI NT in an unusually peaceful, pastoral setting. Gameplay is similar to a combination of Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing. The main character (as chosen by the player) is in charge of managing their own farm, and aids the local citizens of the small town of Sundry to develop their village into an exciting/attractive/economic powerhouse/delectable/insert desired development trajectory regional centre. Gameplay elements include farming, crafting, fishing, logging, mining, trade, dungeon spelunking, interior decorating, magic and that weird relationship thing that all Harvest Moon games include.

Story
For a long time, you have lived a fairly tedious life. You feel stuck in whatever humdrum role you have, a mere cog in the machine, a faceless part of a vast army of workers, all interchangeable and discardable. Then, one day, a letter arrives from a grandfather you didn't even know existed. You have inherited a property, in a place called "Sundry". After hours trawling through increasingly dusty maps, you discover that Sundry is a tiny town, long thought abandoned. Would you dare go there? The change seems insane, but there's something heady about it. Perhaps this is precisely what you need...

You are (player choices):
 * Clair Dusk: Always optimistic, perky, excited to start your new life as a farmer. You can't wait to start afresh - Sundry is so small that perhaps they won't even know about Espers there! Perhaps you will have friends. The hills sound like something out of your mother's stories. And maybe, just maybe, life will be so good that even a brother could settle down...
 * 8: ...your reasons are your own.

The default farm name is Pelfarm, but this can be freely changed.

Characters
As the player develops Sundry, more and more characters will come to visit, and perhaps eventually to stay. Characters will often have specific quests which can be completed to increase one's relationship with them, expand services, get them to move to the town, obtain rare items etc. Of course, one should also be incentivised to assist villagers to discover more of their storyline (but really, you're just in it for the loot, right?).

Initial characters

 * Mayor Saturnius: the Mayor of Sundry, who is rather more bombastic (he prefers "dramatic") than the smallness of his town seems to necessitate. Saturnius welcomes you to the town early on, seeing your potential in developing Sundry (i.e. he sees you as valuable indentured servitude). Despite your creeping suspicion that he may actually be a sociopath, you find yourself quite charmed. Indeed, he appears to have this effect on everyone, as he has been voted in as Mayor six times in a row.
 * Lady Vainia Sestrum: Saturnius's success is much to the chagrin of his eternal rival, Vainia. Vainia is of noble family stock, and firmly believes that she would do a much better job of ruling- ahem, leading Sundry than Saturnius, thank you very much. To this end, she would very much like to recruit the player character with their growing base of power to assist her in this venture.

Currency
One of the key aims of the game is to increase the player's supply of currency, Crystals. Crystals are required to purchase most things in the game. They can be obtained largely by producing materials on one's farm or by gathering activities, and then selling them. A deposit box on the farm can be interacted with; items placed within it are cleared each night and sold at a base rate. Items can also be sold directly, which may grant bonuses to the sell price depending on the character.
