The Main Challenges:
The key tasks in the game are to maintain your sanity, health, and hunger:
- Sanity - can be affected by eating rotten food or not crafting regularly

The game has four main seasons - Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer - each with unique challenges and monsters. Players must prepare for each season by wearing appropriate clothing to counter effects like rain in winter or extreme heat in summer.
