Farm, Forage, & Hunt to Survive

Living in the desert isn’t easy, but the magical abilities that force the protagonists to isolate themselves also helps them make the most of the environment. Farm, forage, and hunt to scrape by in the sparse desert of Eastern Oregon.

Unravel a Mystery

Guide Shane and Áine through the twists and turns of their search for answers about the monster attacks that threaten their fragile livelihood. Where will this undertaking lead these unlikely adventurers?

Forge Relationships

Survival isn’t just about finding food and shelter. It’s also about making life worth living. The support and attention of loved ones, romantic and otherwise, will bolster your spirit and give you strength.

Fight & Prevail

A homesteader isn’t usually well-equipped for armed struggle, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with your sibling to defend your homestead against magical monsters.

Cook & Craft

Frontier cuisine is more about filling bellies than making an impression - scrape together what you can to conquer scarcity. Overcome challenges with tools and handicrafts that you create.

The Evil Farming Game: Replanted

The Evil Farming Game: Replanted

All screenshots are of alpha builds, and are subject to change.

What have you gotten yourself into now?

When Richard, the town farmer, finds himself at the center of his wife’s murder, it’s up to him (or you) to figure out what the hell to do.

You live on a small island village, with friendly people, law enforcement, and your wife.

Everyday starts the same, harvest yesterday’s crops, give them to your wife, and plant some more. Forever and ever, maybe sometimes you head to the market to pick up some tools.

But one day, that all changed, late at night, you lash out at your wife, and kill her. As you feel her pulse stop, you have no idea what to do. Will you turn yourself in? Or will you hide, stealthily avoiding punishment.

Make your choice in the First Part of this 2 game duology.

Meet friendly faces! Make friends, make enemies! Make your own story. With endless possibility to how your scheme will end up, there is no way you’ll make it out of this scot-free, as you’ll have more than just your wife, taken away from you.

Replanted is primarily based on the “Evil Farming Game” myth.

A Little Shop in Squirrel Town

A Little Shop in Squirrel Town

It’s a mixture of Recettear and Harvest Moon. It’s a very relaxing/your own pace type of game.

Not complicate and very simple/easy game. Have a lot of activities to do in game.

Grow crops, fish, explore dungeons, unlock crafting recipes (cooking/armor/weapon/accessory), and sell them at your shop.

Collect monster cubs from dungeons for as livestocks for loot. Each type gives different loot.

Level up your fairy to help in dungeon (kinda stupid as it attacks the direction you’re facing, if you’re running away then it doesn’t work that well)

Very cute, but content-lite. Realistically Do It With Hay has at most 15 minutes of content, thickened with the bale stacking and having to do some DIY platforming for one achievement. Nice visuals just don’t make up for the wonky physics though, stacking the bales goes fine right up until you try to jump or bunny hop onto them, then both they and you go flying and you must start over…provided the timer hasn’t run out, again. Pitchforks serve no purpose other than to poke the truck driver when he falls asleep, so trying to reach the stacking objectives while managing your stamina meter becomes ridiculously hectic.

Bit Orchard

Bit Orchard

This game is great. It is so therapeutic! I enjoy the chill nature of planting and cultivating my own orchard, and the additional challenges and tasks the game provides. It gives you the feel of playing an old Gameboy game, and brings back the nostalgia of a Tamagotchi pet as you have to care for your orchard each day.

I feel like the game is paced well, and grows along with the player. I would highly recommend, and it’s a great price.

Real player with 12.5 hrs in game

I enjoy the simplistic nature of the game and would definently recommend it to anyone who is looking for a relaxing game to play in order to kill time. The art style is great as well and I enjoy the gameplay loop.

I have a few recommendations to make this game better:

  • add a settings menu where you can set the musics volume and change the pallete to different white tones

  • add more interactions in order to keep the game engaging as it does get boring because there is not much to do at certain times in the game
