Well, I understand now that we should have done a better job explaining that in the game. To progress the story, you need to talk to each character. As you do that, the crops and barrels will gradually run out, and after enough interactions, the story reaches its conclusion.
Sadly, the conclusion I'm talking about ,an animation, ended up bugging out at the last minute, and we couldn't fix it in time. 😭😭
In our defense, it's the first game we've ever released!
