How you get from the lake to the penthouse

1

Land at Grit Lake

Uncle Roger meets you at the bus stop with a fishing rod, an axe, and a phone. He sets you up with a tent too. The lake is safe, forgiving, and the best place to learn the ropes before anything gets real.
2

Gather, craft, and trade your way up

Everything you pull out of the world — fish, timber, ore, scrap — can be sold, cooked, or crafted into something worth more. Build your stack here before you move on.
3

Move into the city

Millside first, then Grit City proper. Real jobs, better gear, player housing with your name above the door. The skyline you stared at from the dock starts to feel within reach.
4

Own the top floor

A penthouse in Grit Tower. A crew holding territory. That’s the endgame — and everyone else in the world can see you get there.
