We initially debated whether to add Steam achievements to our game because we were unsure of the difficulty, but I am SO glad we did in the end.

And here we have Camilla, who owns the local general store.
She's a straightforward gal and appreciates folks who are upfront and honest. When she's not running the store or doing handiwork, she loves to create all sorts of art.

Allow us to introduce Miles, who works in the garden alongside Shelby. He also does repairs around town as needed (say what - repairs in a crayon world??)
He's a pro when it comes to tending to the beautiful Crayontopia wax willows.
