The same applies if you don't treat your horse at all.įly Infestation (from grooming stat at 0)Ĭold (from staying outside in cold/wet weather over night) You can still ride your horse for transport, though.
If you pick the wrong one twice in a row, a vet will be called, cure your horse, but immobilize it for a day, meaning you can't ride training or competitions with it. You'll get a cutscene about the treatment, then your horse is fine again. You need to pick the correct remedy to cure the horse. When you get a notification in the morning that your horse is sick, you can take care of that in the stable at the first aid box. If you neglect your horse, it's likely to get sick, which, if untreated, immobilizes the horse for some time, which means you can not train it.įrom the stable, you can also access the pasture with your horse, where you can hose down your horse (check for weather, or horse can get sick!), or train lunging or horse behaviour. Only the energy stat requires regular care so it replenishes, allowing to ride the horse in training. This is meant to be done every day, but stats don't always decay over night (might be a bug). Brush (but not the head!), scrape hooves (but not the frog!), remove dirty straw and replace with fresh straw. In the stable, you can access feeding, medication, mucking, brushing and hoof picking, which either gives you little cut scenes, or the usual grooming minigames. There are 9 coat variations, available for all the breeds (except Appaloosa, which only comes in leopard and piebald). There are five horse breeds that differ slightly in their model (size, placement of tail). The village has market days (for tack) on thursdays and sundays 8 am to 6 pm.
When saving and reloading the game, Emma is always teleported to her bedroom, while the time is as it was saved. Otherwise, Emma is teleported to bed at 4am, and a new day starts. Emma can set an alarm for 6am-10am, and choose to go to bed anytime from 8pm. The day cycle has a lot of influence on game progress. It's possible to almost completely ignore the horses and just pursue the main story, which does not require Emma to be a successful rider, or even to do the work at the stud farm she gets paid to do. While some story events involve riding, a lot of time is spent running on foot through the French village close to the stud farm. While training horses and taking part in competitions are gameplay features, they take second place behind solving the mystery. Space to interact with items/people/location gates.Įmma stays at the stud farm to help out, and soon learns about the mystery around the disappearance of Flora's friend Marie. Hold Shift for running, or double press Up.Īrrow Keys for riding, jump with shift (only at designated obstacles), quick start or stop with Shift + Up/Down. Snow on the ground changes the walking sound.Īrrow Keys for walking (no WASD) – Up = forward, Right/Left to steer (no function on Down). The daylight cycle is connected to the seasons (shorter days in winter). There is a daylight cycle, as well as seasons with different weather conditions (fog, rain, snow, sun, cloudy) that have an effect on horses when in the pasture. These time limits also come into effect for some of the story tasks. There are time limitations for certain actions, like not doing horse care late at night, or competitions happening on fixed dates within a time frame. Unlike its prequels, this game has an ongoing clock while on the stud farm or in the countryside, while story events as well as riding or fast-traveling take a pre-defined amount of time. The game is in 3D, with photorealistic textures.
