About the game:
A new life in the country is calling! Fulfil your dreams and manage your very own farm in this lovingly designed open-world game. Work hard, manage your business wisely and your little farm might grow into a personal paradise, surrounded by boundless, untouched nature. Kick back, unwind and watch your dreams grow.
All these years you’ve had your nose to the grindstone, working 8 to 5, and all you’ve gotten out of it is a growing sense of emptiness, and a sense that you’re missing something fundamental. Childhood memories of simpler, more carefree times have been growing louder every day, filled with vivid recollections of days spent visiting your grandparents in the countryside. You dream of living surrounded by friendly animals, cheerful neighbors and the fruits of your own labor. Enough is enough – it’s time for a change, and to make that dream a reality! Pack up everything you can carry and head out to the country for that new beginning. Take over a small, forgotten farm and become one with nature. Care for the animals, tend to your garden, then harvest and share your fruits. With hard work, you’ll be rewarded with a farmer’s paradise to call your own.
Features:
– Become a farmer! Grow fruits and veg, look after animals and sell your produce to the locals.
– Get the most out of your free time! Go fishing at the lake, chat with your neighbors or take your horse for a ride through scenic, wild environments. Never forget to put relaxation on the agenda.
– Explore an open game world! Discover natural caves full of minerals, a ruined and mystical temple, a mysterious swamp bubbling with secrets and far more.

– Catch a ride! Don’t wear your legs to the bone, or your horse’s – pick the right vehicle for the job. Harvest just a little too bountiful for one farmer? Invest in some heavy hardware to do the job..
– Every farm is unique! Develop your new home as you see fit, make choices without pressure and focus on what makes you smile.
– Don’t forget about yourself! It’s not just your farm that needs tending to. Eat, drink, get plenty of rest and unwind when you need to. What’s the point of paradise if you don’t slow down to enjoy it?.
