## Farms |

|
|

This is where you end up after getting chased out of the village, allowing you to regain your strength by sneaking around farms, stealing crops. The goal here is to eat enough varied crops to unlock [bouncy form](forms.md#bouncy). Farmers then request help from the capital, causing guards to patrol the area, making it more dangerous to stay. |
