Pawsome Resort Walkthrough: Main Quests & Story Guide
A walkthrough of Pawsome Resort's Early Access story and main quests, including Something's Not Right, About What Animals Eat, fishing, racing, and tool upgrades.
Last verified: 2026-06-25
This walkthrough covers the main story quests in Pawsome Resort Early Access. The game is set in Pebble Town, a charming pixel-art village where you run an animal hotel, grow crops, craft items, and befriend the locals. The story unfolds through quests given by villagers.
Quest details below are based on the Early Access build and community walkthroughs such as the one on Into Indie Games.
Early Access Story Overview
You arrive in Pebble Town to take over a small animal resort. At first, the farm is overgrown and the buildings need work. The tutorial introduces you to basic tools, your first sheep, and simple habitat care. Once you settle in, the villagers begin to ask for help. Their quests teach you crafting, farming, animal nutrition, fishing, and exploration.
The story is light and cozy, fitting the life-sim genre. There are no harsh fail states. Instead, progression comes from completing requests, expanding habitats, and unlocking new animals and recipes.
Main Quests
Something's Not Right
Rudgar, the resort handyman, gives you this quest on day two after you read the newspaper. A creature is trapped in the witch's house, and Rudgar asks you to investigate.
Key steps:
- Read the newspaper on day two.
- Talk to Rudgar to receive the quest.
- Travel west from the lumberjack twice, then north to reach the witch's house.
- Enter the house and interact with the cage from the side to free the creature.
Reward: An automated feeding helper that keeps your animals fed as long as your feed storage has food.
This is one of the most impactful early quests because it removes the daily chore of manually feeding every habitat.
About What Animals Eat
Serenya, the veterinarian, teaches you how to make your own animal feed. This quest turns you from a buyer of feed into a self-sufficient farmer and crafter.
Key steps:
- Visit the Veterinary clinic and talk to Serenya.
- Receive the Farmer's Mix recipe.
- Plant green beans, radish, and hay on your farm.
- Harvest the crops once they mature.
- Craft Farmer's Mix at your workbench.
- Place the feed in your habitat feeding bowls.
Reward: Farmer's Mix recipe unlocked, plus the ability to feed your animals with farm-grown ingredients.
Special Catch
Lioren at the shop asks you to catch one Emerald Bass and one Golden Koi.
Key steps:
- Talk to Lioren at the shop to receive the quest.
- Go to the fishing spot to the left of the shop.
- Face the water with your fishing rod equipped.
- Press the reel button when the ring is inside the marked area. Repeat until the fish is caught.
This quest introduces the fishing minigame, which can also be a source of income and collectibles later on.
First Ride
Rudgar introduces you to horse racing at the local racecourse.
Key steps:
- Talk to Rudgar to start the quest.
- Go to the racecourse in the southern area of the map.
- Pick a horse and place a bet.
- Watch the race. If your horse wins, you receive prize money.
Tip: You have roughly a one-in-four chance to win. Bet small amounts until you understand how the races work, so you do not wipe out your savings.
A Day Off
The postman asks you to deliver letters to three villagers.
Key steps:
- Receive the letters from the postman.
- Deliver a letter to the house below the veterinarian's clinic.
- Deliver a letter to the house in the eastern area.
- Deliver the final letter to the house near paw prints south of your home.
Reward: A courier's medal. If you hang it on the wall of your house, your scooter's speed increases.
How to Upgrade Tools
Rudgar sends you a message about upgrading your tools once you meet the right conditions.
Requirements:
- 45 hardwood
- 40 silver ores
- 250 fiber
Key steps:
- Gather the materials. Hardwood and silver ore can be found in the mine, located west of the lumberjack, past the bridge, and then north.
- Bring the materials to Rudgar.
- Receive the tool upgrade medal.
Upgraded tools gather resources faster, which saves energy and time each day.
Side Activities That Support the Main Story
- Habitat expansion. Rudgar also handles habitat expansion requests. Larger habitats let you host more animals and improve comfort.
- Farming. Crops feed both your animals and your crafting goals. Keep fields watered and harvested daily.
- Crafting. The workbench turns raw crops into useful items like Farmer's Mix. More recipes are expected as Early Access develops.
- Villager friendships. Talking to villagers every day raises friendship levels, which may unlock new quests or dialogue.
- Exploration. Use your scooter or the map to reach areas outside Pebble Town, including the mine and the witch's house.
What to Expect in Early Access
Pawsome Resort entered Steam Early Access on June 22, 2026. The current build focuses on the foundation of resort life: building habitats, caring for animals, farming, crafting, and a growing set of story quests. More content is planned for future updates.
- A cozy, low-pressure loop. There is no rush. You can farm, craft, and explore at your own pace.
- Tutorial and early quest chain. The sheep tutorial plus the quests above make up the core early-game content.
- A growing animal roster. Sheep, cats, horses, gorillas, crocodiles, and more animals are part of the game's roster.
- Regular updates. Because this is Early Access, quest lines, recipes, and animal behaviors may change between patches.
