About the Game

THE GAME IN WHICH RURAL ROUTINE MEETS MYSTICISM AND DARKNESS.

A Quiet Place

"Life in the big city has become too tiring and stressful for me.

I have decided to sell my apartment and move to the countryside.

A strange old man sold me a house with a small farm in the middle of nowhere.

The locals call this area Dread Fields.

Great, so no one from my old life will be looking for me here.

I hope that a measured life, physical labor, and fresh air will bring happiness back to my life."

Rural Routine

Now you are the owner of a small farm, so you have to:

  • milk the cow

  • mow the grass

  • carry water from the well

  • feed the cat

  • pick mushrooms in the forest

  • chop wood

  • fish

  • grow plants

  • take care of the garden

  • feed the chickens and pick eggs

Features

  • 1.5 hours for average playthrough

  • ending depends on your choices

  • aesthetics of the Eastern European village (somewhere in Ukraine)

  • graphics stylized as mid-2000s games

  • atmosphere of loneliness and isolation
