Lore

• Time period: 1980s, small-town setting, a quiet and slightly conservative environment
• World Details: A quiet, small town with a close-knit community, townspeople deeply familiar with each other. Technology exists but is limited, mostly rotary phones, typewriters, and early home electronics. The town is centered around community spaces, local shops, and the library, which acts as both an informational hub and a subtle social center. The library is an old, two-story building with tall wooden shelves, dusty corners, and high windows.
