Although you will wake up in the morning by default, the Alarm Clock is a very useful item for setting your wake-up time.
For example, you may want to wake up earlier to tend to your crops before taking care of your livestock, or you may want to wake up later. You can use the Alarm Clock to set your desired wake-up time.
We also often use the Alarm Clock when sleeping to restore the character’s stamina.
For example, if I perform strenuous activities in the morning and run out of stamina by midday, I can set the Alarm Clock, go to sleep, and wake up in the afternoon with my stamina restored.
There are also many other benefits you can get from the Alarm Clock. So, what are the requirements for obtaining the Alarm Clock for free? Read the following explanation.
How to Get the Alarm Clock
The Alarm Clock becomes available in Chapter 2 “Branching.” On the first day, after you get married and have a child, several new characters move to Forgotten Valley.
One of them is the harmonious family consisting of Garrett, San, and their daughter, Kate.
On that same day, Spring 1 of Year 2, you can check the bulletin board, which contains a special request from Garrett.
In his request, Garrett asks you to make Pickled Veggies. In return, he will give you an Alarm Clock.
Special requests usually do not have a time limit. If they do have a time limit, it is usually quite long.
Fortunately, this particular special request has no time limit for completing it.
According to the cooking recipe guide we have written, Pickled Veggies requires fairly difficult ingredients because it consists of several hybrid crops.
With no set time limit, you can grow several hybrid crops and wait for them to be ready for harvest.
Once you have the ingredients for Pickled Veggies, the next step is to cook the dish.
How to Make Pickled Veggies
If you already have the recipe, you can make it directly without having to manually combine the ingredients. However, if you do not have the recipe yet, you can follow these steps:
- Go to the kitchen.
- Select “Choose Ingredients.”
- Select “Salad.”
- Add the ingredients.
- Ingredient 1: Caroturn, Sweeturn, Turnmato, or Waturnip (choose one).
- Ingredient 2: Caroturn, Sweeturn, Turnmato, or Waturnip (choose one).
Congratulations, you have successfully made Pickled Veggies. The next step is to give the dish to Garrett.
You will see a cutscene in which Garrett shows you the Alarm Clock and offers to install it in your house.
How to Use the Alarm Clock
After Garrett places the Alarm Clock in your house, you can access it on the bedside table, right where Takakura’s Notebook is located on the shelf.
Visually, you will see three clock hands. The two black hands are the hour and minute hands, while the red hand is used to set the wake-up time.
To set the alarm, the best way is to find the time you want to wake up and then turn the red hand to that time. You can also use the alarm to take naps.
If you set the alarm to a later time than the current time of day and go to sleep, you will wake up at the later time, but on the same day with your energy restored.
For example, suppose you set the alarm to 10 AM and want to schedule your wake-up time for 5. The number 5 applies to both 5 AM and 5 PM.
Therefore, if you go to sleep at 10 AM after setting the alarm, you will wake up at 5 PM. If you go to sleep again, you will wake up at 5 AM.
