9 itemsAbout the Game
The player is a young man running a farm after the loss of his parents in an implied attack. Using seeds and some basic tools, the player must clear the field, till it, plant and water, then harvest.
A single screen farming game, you play as an orphan who's survived recent attacks and is determined to bring life back to his family farm.
Every day sees you till more land, clear more obstacles, build more tools, plant more seeds and reap more produce. You can donate your produce to the local community who write you letters requesting various items, and in return you will receive seeds for new plants. The game's not about winning though - rather it's about trying to face the pressures of life, and finding pleasure in nurturing new life.
Every game is different as the field's layout is random, and be careful because there is no way to save
