Circadian City
I love this game although it is obviously very early access and still got some problems, but overall I enjoyed playing it a lot.
Here is a video I did for you: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZP6dZ6oCR0Mwi0Lx2ggo1g
You can not really compare it to Stardew Valley although it might be a bit inspired by games like that.
Also you can see that the developers put a lot of heart into it and the background story as well as the NPC characters are already very unique although I expect them to still add a bit more text to some to show more details about the different characters.

This is not a beta disguised as an Early Access title. This game really is early access. It is pretty rough around the edges with incomplete content, bugs, and balance issues. I’ve got 3ish hours in and don’t think I’ve gone 5 minutes without noticing something that felt wrong.
But the game is still really good even in its current state. The gameplay loop feels new and is interesting. Some mechanics feel more complete than others, and those feel and play great. It looks like many other games we’ve seen before, but there is enough of a new spin on this one to make it feel unique.

Lonefarm
You play as Andy, a boy from the city who has always wanted to live in a remote place and enjoy solitude and closeness to nature. Now with some money saved and a bank loan you decide to buy a small cabin on an island in the South Pacific. You will be able to meet the people of this island, their customs and you will look for an occupation.
If you could just… close your eyes for a moment, breathe and open them again to realize that you’re in a different place… A place where the air is fresh and the sky is blue, a serene getaway free of the complexities of day-to-day social interaction, where your responsibilities are as simple as “eat”, “water the crops”, “go for a drive”. More than anything, a place that you can call your own.
This is Lonefarm.
In this fully immersive escape from anxiety, you take control of a farm on a small island in the middle of the South Pacific. Tend to your crops, feed your stock, prepare your meals, decorate the farm, or take a peaceful ride on your vintage Van Wagon through the seaside highway to explore the natural paradise surrounding your farm! Take advantage of the trip to transport the vegetables and sell them to the townspeople. Lonefarm is truly yours, so take it all in at your own pace.
Lonefarm is a first-person, farm life simulator with light survival and narrative elements. The goal in LoneFarm is to experience a place that can feel like a home away from home.
Features
-
There’s an assortment of crops and livestock that you can tend to!
-
Use your produce for cooking new recipes or sell it at the local market!
-
Unlock and discover new furniture items to decorate your fully customizable cabin!
-
Explore the wild areas of the island to discover new seeds or venture into the island’s town and observe the lives of interesting locals!
-
Drive freely through the island in first-person and monitor your van wagon’s upkeep: fuel levels, energy, and tear will make the difference from getting back home safe before midnight or getting stuck in the middle of the highway and having to spend a chilly night outside!
-
Days go by in real-time in Lonefarm with a day/night cycle that lets you experience different weather, special events, and the progress of your own crops in a realistic manner.
-
Discover the secret history of the island, its residents and your own past!
-
Look for beautiful and relaxing views across the island in which you can sit for a while, read the newspaper and think about your life!

I didn’t quite expect to be re-reviewing this game, but I am glad I am able to give this game a positive review. After about a year of near radio silence from the devs, they updated the game, keeping the main gameplay loop of the old version, but adding quite a few new features and overall just made the game a much more enjoyable experience. If you had this game a year ago and are wondering if you should return to it, I’d definitely say yes. For anyone who never played the original version, but is looking for a short and sweet (roughly 20 hour) experience that combines both idle and base building gameplay, I’d say give it a go. The devs seem like they now intend on routinely updating the game, and as of this review that have been following through with their promise. One last thing before I end this review, if you do end up getting the game, you get to experience pretty much everything you can do in the game before you pass the two hour refund mark, so if you don’t enjoy it in the first two hours, you can know you probably won’t enjoy it and vis versa. I left my original review below if you’re interested on why I originally rated the game negatively.

Fairly small and uncomplicated idle game.
Progress can be sped up by manually clicking, but it functions quite well on its own for quite a long time before more upgrades are needed to make more progress.
My one big problem with the game (at the time of release; this is an early access) is that there isn’t enough information behind some of the upgrades. Some upgrades will state a percentage, but not telling me if the bonus is additive or multiplicative with other upgrades on the same building. Speed increase upgrades are equally secret. No information on whether it reduces time by percentage or seconds. This makes it difficult to discern which upgrades are worth going for.

One Lonely Outpost
A barren, alien world needs YOU to bring it to life!
Start out with just an ancient space-RV, your handy tech gauntlet, a handful of potato seeds, and work to build up your colony. Grow crops to attract colonists, build a town and economy, and work to achieve independence while establishing your colony as a prime destination.
Whether you opt for an all-natural farm or a more high-tech one, you’ll need to balance producing food with other activities on your planet. Explore alien ruins to learn more about this strange world, grow your relationships with the many different characters that will join your colony, and have a blast playing various mini-game activities along the way.
It’s One Lonely Outpost … but not for long!
Decide: Natural or Synthetic?
Order up some supplies from Delivz-On, fertilize the ground, and plant crops with a unique tending mechanic – blow off dust, clip off dead branches, and watch for bugs! Pursue either a Synthetic route with robo-cows and gene-splicing (watch for glowing cabbages), or take the Natural path where you raise Earth-based farm animals and hand-tend your prize crops for premium produce. With either path, the more and better food you can make, the more colonists you can attract.
Build a Community and Forge Relationships
Every colony starts out with just one person (and a robotic pet), but colonists from around the galaxy will come to conduct research and offer other roles or services to help you grow the colony into a full-fledged town. But our career isn’t everything in life – befriend your fellow colonists to find fully developed people with their own histories, lives, and dreams. Grow your rapport with more than just gifts from your farm; perhaps even one relationship will result in true romance!
Explore Ancient Ruins
Ancient alien ruins have kept their secrets for millennia – until you’ve come along. Discover why a barren world is full of all of the features necessary for life, even though according to top scientists it shouldn’t. Puzzle and/or fight your way past the robotic guardians and be rewarded with rare items and a deeper understanding of your new farm planet.
Customize Your Character
Develop a unique sense of style and personality with clothing options and character statistics.. Choose how to balance your strengths and weaknesses across farming, exploring, crafting, socializing, and dungeon-diving as you progress on your journey.
Play To Your Interests
There’s no set path to perfecting your colony. Any element of the game can be played in any order. Whether you choose to focus on tending your farm to unlock every perk, spend all day exploring ruins fighting robots, or dedicate yourself to building up the town and connecting with residents, fun and rewards await to be discovered along the way.
Share With Friends
Play online with up to 3 other friends in collaborative co-op as well as competitive minigames. Friends can either visit your existing outpost with a greenhorn character, choose to start a fresh world from scratch together, or take a short vacation on your main to see what other colonies are up to, all while developing new relationships and even building branching families with other player characters or NPCs.
Farmer’s Dynasty
(EDIT Nov. 28,2019) Well, the game has come to full release for steam! And its pretty close to what I had imagined it would be. Keeping the charm of Redberry while adding to the world around us. The game delivers us the life and farming experience of a small town. There is plenty to do around Redberry. Think you’ll spend all of your time in the field? You’d be wrong. Take a break form the tractor. Grab a coffee. Go fishing. Help a neighbor. Find a wife! Fix a building. Drone racing. And so much more. If you are on steam, there is so much to do, you will get lost for hours. Enjoy and happy farming!

Let’s get this out of the way first. If you want an actual farming simulator, with tons of different brands of machines and implements, ultra realistic soil mechanics, dynamic economy etc. this isn’t it. At first glance, it might look very similar to other farming simulators, and the core mechanics (plow, cultivate, fertilize, sow, harvest) are of course there. However, if you approach it as purely a farming simulator, you will get disappointed and bored due to the shallowness of this aspect of the game.

Stardew Valley
This game got me through a really dark place in my life. I lost my job, spouse, and home in less than a year. I would chop wood and fish when I couldn’t find the energy to do anything else and fall asleep on the couch listening to the background music. I’ve put thousands of hours into Stardew Valley. The little successes I had were the catalyst I needed to think maybe I could have little successes again in life, too. Highly recommend. Thank you for making this game.

The first time I heard about it I was set on “I don’t like pixel games”, I played it half-heartedly and stopped after 3 hours. Almost a year later I picked it up again and now I am on the grind for 100 % perfection, decorating, fishing, mining, etc. There’s so much you can do in-game and you can either play it very chill and laid-back or you can chase all those achievements.
What I’d say now, after almost 200 hrs in-game, just give it a proper chance and let it charm you. :D

Croppy Boy
It’s fun little game to mess around with.
The controls are a bit weird and will need awhile to get used to.
Controls :
included W A S D and Z (for tackle people, they’ll drop stuff on impact but.. it costs you stamina, will talk about this more later.)
-
A for dropping stuff you have (will drop crops first, then seeds)
-
S for tool actions (for watering crops, plow dirt, and seeding)
//it depends on your selected tool (choose with 1,2,3 or 4) also sickle is pretty much useless since you can cut glass without it.//

A cute, fun farming game with unique gameplay that makes it a great game to play in short bursts with a group of friends. If you are looking for a serious farming simulator or some ultra-complex strategic multiplayer game, this isn’t the game for you, but if you just want something that you can hop right on, spend less than 5 minutes learning the controls, and have fun – definitely check this out.
It’s also free-to-play without a cash shop for overpowered items or paywalls restricting what you can do. Definitely refreshing to see a game like that these days, given much worse games in the free-to-play category often try to shake you down for cash these days.

Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition
I really love this game. It’s very cute without being cutesy most of the time and has an engaging story line.
The game is very reminiscent of Stardew Valley but with enough differences to be worth owning both.
I absolutely LOVE the farming mechanism, which allows for crops to MUTATE depending on chance, terrain type, and time of year as well as mutation boosting agents. It’s a very, very clever addition to a farming simulator and one I’ve never seen before. I also really love how the seasonal planting works, because unlike many other games, if you plant crops in the wrong season, they DO NOT die immediately. Actually, with enough care, fertilizer, and luck, you can grow any crop in any season. And as annoying as I find it sometimes, crops randomly DO wither and die on you, especially if you aren’t taking good care of them, which is aggravating when it happens but also a really nice touch. (My family grows food and our plants do not all suddenly wither at once with the change of season).

I liked this game, but the reason I said I would not recommend it is largely because of a few small frustrating aspects of it, that I think add up to it just not being worth quite as much as $20. I’d value it at $8 maybe. The things I mean by frustrations:
-
I had to look up how to use Soleil, and guess what, if you’re playing the PC version of the game, you can’t! You have to play multiplayer with a console and 2 controllers for that. Stupid.
-
The controls are not that well explained inside the game. It took me forever to figure out how to actually use upgraded tools. All they tell you is “hold the Action button”, but that’s not what you actually have to do. What you actually have to do, that the game doesn’t tell you, is hold the action button and drag it across the squares you want to use it on. It was a pain in the ass to learn that bc like I said, the in-game exposition wasn’t adequate.
