Blue Oak Bridge

Blue Oak Bridge is a farming and adventure game set on the island of Eloria. After washing ashore, you can build a new life on a farm among the villagers, while helping friends face a powerful magic infecting the rivers and forests, monsters in the old mines and the ruined Blue Oak Library. Queen Isa and entrepreneur Alonzo clash over who owns the library, drawing you into a story of forbidden magic, ancient secrets and a quest to unite Eloria—or you can set the conflict aside and focus on farm life.

Farm and island life

Grow crops, care for livestock, forage and fish across the island, and run your own café. You can sell or gift what you find and make, brew it into potions, donate it to the library or use it to upgrade your weapons and tools. Profits can go toward customising your character, expanding your farm and caring for livestock and pets.

There are over 50 types of crops, including seeds, flowers, fruits, fantasy crops and vegetables that vary by season. You can donate harvests to the Plantlife and Wildlife Compendiums, or process crops into pickles, jams, juices and wines. Crops and gathered resources can also be used to make teas, coffees, honey, cheese and other products.

You can buy chicks, calves, lambs and piglets from Cedric and raise them into adult livestock. Caring for and petting animals improves the products they produce. Elorian fantasy animals, including the Gokey Crab, Rose-Nosed Eakey and Oakipine, provide special produce. You can also adopt a dog, cat or other Elorian pet to accompany you and keep you company on the farm.

Explore and fight

Explore Eloria’s village, rivers, beach and mines. In the mines, gather copper, iron, gold and obsidian for crafting, quests or smelting into ingots. Deeper levels contain more ores as well as ancient monsters. You can use ores to upgrade your tools with Marcelo and explore further.

Study the monsters’ behaviour and defeat them for monster drops. Combat uses swords or hammers and has two styles: one-handed and two-handed. Upgrading weapons and bringing potions can help you face more dangerous foes, including a Lost Knight.

You can upgrade your fishing rod and catch over 50 species of fish, whose availability changes with the seasons. Some are legendary fish that require fishing skill. Donate catches to the Sealife Compendium for research or sell them, and help Kipp catch contaminated fish to address environmental harm in Eloria’s waters.

Magic and crafting

Find Hazel, a witch in the forest, to learn about the Great Witches of Eloria and brew over 20 potions. Their gameplay effects include teleportation, restoring health and changing the weather to affect your farm. The island’s lore includes magical mysteries and ancient myths.

Gather resources and recipes to craft items and decorations, including brewing stations, bee houses and converters for making products such as wine, jam and cheese. Enzo the carpenter can build barns and silos for your farm, which you can decorate with crafting items. The description lists the number of these items as “XXXXX.”

Villagers and relationships

Eloria has over 30 characters, each with a story. Give villagers gifts and complete their unique quests to learn more about them. Of these characters, 15 are romanceable: you can date, fall in love and marry, with Sophie and Ezra at the Beautiful Bureau arranging weddings.

Customise your life

Visit the local tailor and barber to choose from costumes, accessories and hairstyles, including items such as a pocket watch and Panama hat. You can also use your profits to expand and decorate your farm, whether you prefer a practical setup or a cosy croft.

Run a café

Use crops and gathered resources to prepare over 60 recipes for your café. Selling meals there can earn more than selling them to the general store owner, but pricing dishes too high risks the food rotting.
