Quick Links
The island you call home inLuma Islandis far larger than just your farm and the town, and there are all sorts of locations for you to discover, like the ruins of the ancient people who lived there. Unfortunately, between the recent earthquake and the passage of time, many locations have been blocked off, such as the Forest.
It used to be that the townspeople would go to the Forest to explore or harvest ingredients, but with the bridge broken, there’s no way to get across the massive gap. Fortunately, the town now has a talented new person who just moved into town and might be able to repair it.
