About the Game

Come Home

You left Ireland years ago. Now you're back. Your parents are gone, but the farm and the land your family worked for generations is still yours.

Work the Land

A top-down farming game set in rural Ireland. Till soil, plant seeds, water crops, harvest. Potatoes, cabbage, the staples. Simple, satisfying work. The days follow a rhythm: morning, work, evening, sleep. Rain comes. Seasons turn.

A Parish

You live in a small Irish community. Church, shop, neighbours, stone-walled fields. Sunday Mass. Murphy's Shop for seeds. A graveyard beside the church.

Restore What Was Left Behind

The farm's been neglected. Overgrown, run-down. Clear the land, till the fields, mend the walls. Every crop sold brings the place back to life.
