Chrono Arcade overview
The Chrono Arcade is an entertainment venue in Starsand Town run by Loren. It features playable arcade machines, gacha capsule machines, and a lottery system. The arcade operates on a token currency separate from coins. Open 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily.
Token system
The arcade uses tokens instead of coins. You exchange gold at Loren or the cash register.
Exchange rate: 10 coins = 1 token
Daily purchase limit: 80 tokens maximum per day
Free tokens: 20 free tokens daily from Loren + 20 more from the cash register (40 free per day)
Minigames
Foodybara
A Snake-style game where you control a capybara eating items scattered on the field. Your capybara grows longer with each item consumed. The game ends when you collide with your own tail or the walls. Score depends on how many items you collect before a collision.
Starblock
A Tetris-style puzzle game. Rotate and position falling shapes to complete horizontal lines. Completed lines clear and award points. The game ends when shapes stack to the top of the screen. Higher-tier clearing (multiple lines at once) awards bonus points.
Reward structure
Arcade games award points in two categories:
Cumulative Points: Accumulate across all play sessions. Unlock cosmetics, furniture blueprints, and Starsand currency at milestone thresholds
Personal Best: You must beat your previous high score to earn these rewards. Unlocks themed skins and special clearing effects for the minigames
Gacha machines
Capsule machines next to the arcade cabinets dispense random prizes. Each pull costs 20 tokens. Prizes include resources, home furniture blueprints, and clothing blueprints (such as the Wok Spatula). The color of the capsule ball does not affect what prize you receive. It is purely random.
Lottery scratchcards
Single-panel scratchcard: 5 tokens. Lower win chance
Multi-panel scratchcard: 10 tokens. Higher win chance
Prizes are Chrono tokens that can be spent on exclusive arcade rewards
Loren
Loren is soft-spoken, somewhat anti-social, and an avid gamer. He manages the arcade while working on creating his own video game. He spends about 90% of his time inside the Chrono Arcade, either on the main floor or the lower level. His favorite gifts are Coconut Latte and Lunar Crystal (15 affection points each). He also likes Cacao Laco, Grilled Fish, Moonflower, Plain Noodles, Purple Hydrangea, Sweet and Sour Pork, and Veggie Noodles. He hates Blue Sleep Lily and Yellow Sleep Lily. Loren is fully romanceable.
Tips
Collect your 40 free tokens daily (20 from Loren, 20 from the cash register) even if you do not plan to play. They add up
Gacha machines are the main way to get certain exclusive furniture and clothing blueprints
Focus on beating your Personal Best score for the best rewards. Cumulative points build passively
The arcade is a good rainy-day activity when outdoor farming is less productive
Loren is one of the easiest characters to find since he rarely leaves the arcade
