Welcome to Gear Deer!
Gear Dear are automatous cervine who keep companions for the magical properties they possess. The world they live in is a fantastical steampunk wilderness. These creatures use gears as their main currency. They spend their time earning
gears in the Plaza and hanging out together in the fields. Gear Deer are free and there are lots of ways to interact with them! Adopt a Gear Deer and grab a free starter bag from the shop today! Here is a beginner's guide!
