I want a cozy top-down RPG about restoring a neglected village shrine. The first version should feel playable fast: gather offerings, help one villager, see the shrine change, and leave room for more village secrets later. Where should I start?

I want to make a tiny magical tavern RPG for one busy evening: greet travelers, serve one special order, hear a rumor, and end with a cozy result screen. What should the first build include?
