You start out with daily tutorials that convey the order of things required to flourish on your land, from cultivating seeds to feeding and caring for your animals and selling your harvest for profits that you can use to expand your farm. Each day is like spinning plates, with each proceeding day adding on one or more additional activities that you must not neglect to do else you will feel the wrath of nature: and have to nuke your farm from space.īefore you get too excited: no, sadly you can't. The irony is that this is technically realistic enough that had I put this amount of kinetic energy towards something, anything, IRL I would have something physically tangible to show for it by now.Įach day begins with a beautiful sunrise, the soothing sounds of the dawn chorus, and it gradually proceeds to spiral into an array of tasks that you have to plug away at in specific order so that you can become adept in the farming lifestyle.

Point where you want to go and press one trigger to teleport, point at what you want to pick up and press a different trigger to grab it. The controls are equally rudimentary but thankfully incredibly intuitive. The soundscape crafted by this title is very basic, with light wind and rustling in the backing track, minimal farmyard sounds here and there as you would expect, and the noises associated with each task you perform such as watering plants or chopping your crops, but apart from that it's a little sparse overall. Objects and animals are slightly cell shaded and have a nice feel to them and how you can interact with them. From the gently swaying grass to the blue skies, everything is bathed in warm, summery day-light that feels soothing and inviting.
