Long description
Markhor Meadow is a cozy village-building game for iPhone, made independently with no publisher. You are the mayor of a new settlement in a mountain valley inspired by northern Pakistan, with Afghan- and Pakistani-influenced music.
You gather wood and stone, craft planks, blocks and cloth, and build twenty buildings that finish in real time, from a ten-minute first home to a mountain fortress that takes a full day. Each specialty building welcomes a resident: a tinkerer, a timber hand, a stonemason, a weaver, a gardener, an angler, a hamster baker, an owl healer, a goat goatherd and a snow-leopard cub lookout. Zarif, a great winged snow-leopard spirit, is the valley’s merchant and sells furniture blueprints; a long sky dragon glides overhead and grants a wish when it lands on the summit.
The valley turns from day to night and through four seasons with rain and snow. Residents keep their own routines, write morning letters and ask for small favors. The game plays offline with no account, no ads and no tracking; it will be free with optional Coins, and everything can be earned by playing.
