  • Brilliantly captures the fatalistic and dour experience of being a farmer. Paired with the dread of a looming threat in the woods, it makes for a great horror game. I was surprised how complete and well-rounded the farming simulation was as well! The inclusion of unique events and dialogue day-to-day make this a pretty fully fledged experience. Great work.

Really fun game and unnerving when night comes, controls were a little hard to get used to though, especially with the interaction system in the game with arrow keys for looking and numbers to interact.

Hey Mark!

Finally got around to playing your game! I too am a terrible farmer -- had about a 60% harvest rate :'( Really cool game though!

A couple notes after playing:

  • I know it's supposed to be extremely unforgiving when crops die, but it would be nice to be able to dig up failed crops and restart them with some sort of higher mulch penalty -- totally not necessary for the Jam, but something maybe to think about if you continue development!
  • I don't really have anything else in terms of criticism -- great experience you have here

What I liked:

  • I loved the atmosphere of this game. The rain sounds, dark lighting, spooky wind and giant ghost people really set me on edge. I also really liked that the light from the lightning happened and THEN the sound happened. Cool little attention to detail on that.
  • The farming mechanics and task system are great. I definitely loved having a clear goal of what I was supposed to do for the day and the fact that if you missed a meal you got a speed penalty was really smart.
  • I loved the event that happened when all of the animals got attacked (rip moo moos) very cool detail and it definitely added tension to the unknown of the creature that would chase you 

I really had a great time playing and hope you continue development and expand upon the ideas you have here :D

Man, I did a terrible job as a farmer.

Loved the wonky controls and the gameplay. There's so much you need to do and so little time to do it, and it was pretty unnerving knowing something was after me but not knowing what it was.
