11 Alongside farming, Grave Seasons lets the player fish and mine to gather additional resources. Both activities feed the local economy and supply materials used in Crafting and Cooking.

33 Fishing
44  
55 Fishing spots are spread across the map: the player can cast at a river, at a lake, or out at the ocean. The player can fish in the waters around Ashenridge. Catching fish uses a timing minigame in which a needle moves back and forth across a meter, and the player clicks when it lines up with a sweet spot. The same minigame is reused for the lockpicking system that opens locked doors during investigations. Fish are among the goods that can be sold in town as part of the local economy.

78 The town's fisherman, Noa, also sells the bait the player needs, and the developers have warned that fishing without it produces distinctly odd catches. He runs a store called The Big Fish by the docks where he sells fish and tackle. See Characters for more on the residents.

910 Mining
1011  
1112 Mining lets the player dig for ore using the pickaxe. Gathered ore can be smelted into ingots, which serve as crafting materials. As with farming and fishing, the materials pulled from mining support both the economy and the items the player crafts to investigate and protect against the threat in town.

1314 The mine sits past a wooden bridge over a waterfall on the way out of town. In the demo build shown publicly, the mine was blocked off, so its interior content is not yet documented.

1516 Why These Activities Matter
1617  
1718 Grow crops, fish, mine, and participate in the local economy by selling goods in town. Just as importantly, what the player gathers plays a critical role in unraveling the mysteries of Ashenridge, since raw materials become the crafted items used to ward off whatever is stalking the town. See The Murder Mystery for how investigation ties into resource gathering.
