About the Game

Homestead Idle is a relaxing, casual homestead simulator where you craft your way to a thriving, sustainable homestead.  Manage resources, level up your foraging, farming, and crafting skills, and create the homestead of your dreams. This small, simple crafting sim is all about the rhythms of homesteading.

Features:

  • Simple timers and progress bars move as you send workers to harvest various resources. 

  • Multiple homestead locations to work: forest, garden, orchard, and animal pens.

  • Bring your resources back to the storehouse and use them to craft foods, apothecary items, or artisanal goods.

  • Sell your goods at the farmer's market.

  • Level up your crafting skills to create more profitable items.

What Homestead Idle Does NOT Have:

  • No customization

  • No NPCs to talk to or romance

  • No multiplayer

Dev Team

Homestead Idle is made by So Peculiar, a husband-wife team who make small games and also manage a small homestead. :)  The beautiful pixel art is by Pari Collins. Thanks for playing our little game, and we hope it brings you joy!
