A cute little farming sim that plays a little different to the others. You get dropped off at your grandparents’ farm, where things have fallen into a bit of a state of disrepair, and are tasked with helping them rebuild it to its former glory, I guess?

You can absolutely tell the developers love the game, and they’re constantly adding quality of life improvements and bug fixes. If you see any negative reviews, take a note of when they were written, as there’s a good chance the developers have improved on anything quality-of-life related since then. They’ve even added a bug hotel to let you fill your butterfly collection much more easily.



So my biggest criticism of the game, and I feel bad this being the first thing I mention but it could easily put people off, is that there is no guidance to how a lot of the gameplay loops play out. As much as I prefer when games don’t hold my hand too much, there’s a lot of things that aren’t entirely clear on what you should be doing (e.g. I must have spent many hours cutting grass and replanting to fill the feeders for my animals with hay, only to find out they will happily just eat the grass if you keep their pens full - a thing that would have been very useful to know before I ruined my experience of the game, thinking of it more as “grass cutter simulator” than a farming sim).

Once you learn all the nuances of the gameplay loops, the game plays really well. There’s no pressure to do everything perfectly in a day, as your grandparents will fix things for you (e.g. watering the crops), so you can focus on the elements of the game that you like best and everything else will cope by itself.

The dream segments can be a little janky at times, but they’re not a huge focus of the game, and once you complete the main story, you can directly choose which dream segment you want to play. There’s also a setting for the wolves to make them less problematic, if you care about that, which I wish I’d learned about sooner as it would have saved a fair bit of trouble.

For those that care about customisation, there’s so much freedom in how you can build not just the farm, but also the entire surrounding areas and fields. You can set up animal pens anywhere you want, plant trees and crops almost anywhere, and even down to the look of the area, you can choose whether to chop the grass thin, fill it with long grass, or fill it with your favourite flowers, so that your valley looks exactly the way you like it.



So the basic premise is that as you start rebuilding the farm, you begin to have dreams where you talk to the animals and they guide you on the next steps, which generally will unlock more animals for your farm. You also sometimes become animals, and how well you do impacts what happens the next day on the farm.

Your grandparents will also push you in the direction you should be going to progress the story, so whilst the gameplay elements are missing some crucial information in the way of tutorials/explanations, the actual story elements, you get very clear guidance.

The story is…fine, more or less. It’s very simple, and to be honest you could probably just ignore it to focus on the gameplay, which is the same for a lot of farming sims anyway.



The game plays generally well on the Steam Deck right out the box with no modifications to any settings. There were a couple of frame rate drops at a few points, but otherwise the game played well. Some of the controls aren’t particularly intuitive (it took me so long to work out how to actually get into my inventory), which again falls into the “needs better tutorials on certain elements” above, rather than anything specific to the Deck.

Give Some New Update New quest.

I played for 67 hours, it was fun, loved the music flute that led the baby animals to the farm, over the bridge n to grandma house it should have played. lol just could NOT understand how my clothes kept changing, n my character hair go from pink to blue. BUT I will recommend this game, u just have to understand, you may find things i did not, or may run into problems I did not. cute Little game indeed.
