Meet Bellwether
The objects have owners. The owners have reasons.
Bellwether is a made-up harbor town. Its shop is filled with original characters, fictional keepsakes, and small records of everyday life.
Stories add context; they never decide authenticity, prices, or shop outcomes. The core game is designed around clear, offline rules and hand-written scenes.
Optional AI story wording is off by default and currently unavailable while its service is disabled.
