A slow-paced, cheerful farming and research sandbox where you explore, collect, and document flora and fauna in a pixel-art world.

What players say
Players enjoy the research mechanic that sets this farming sim apart, and they love the no-combat caves and cute creatures. However, many note the day cycle feels short, progress can be grindy, and the NPC socializing is weaker than in similar games.
