I'm genuinely surprised someone liked the game enough to share it there. Thanks... I really hope you all had fun playing it.

In the first scene with the wife my meter on the right isnt going up at all

Looks like some bug... Never see that myself... Have you tried holding down the F button while scene going ?

RIP Wife
Can't believe the game kills her off after 1 scene

Is the developer slavic? A world of famine and horror that the protagonist escapes in farm-based exile and a week after the game starts his wife dies feels kind of slavic. Don't know why.

First, the bad.
The developer should get a native English speaker and refine the writing. It's functional, but it's also English Second Language central (well, not that I'm a native anglo either) but the details of how the dialogue feels and flows, or even punctuation, are kind of distracting. Get a pass to make it sound like proper English.

The mediocre.
The art style is great and detailed: the H-scenes are.... short. It's a difficult balance between titillation and gameplay, and this one favours gameplay: let's be blunt, having a game routine that is five-ten minutes of FARM PLANNING that requires some basic effort to get 10+ seconds of incredibly well detailed plowing runs counter to the essence of the lewd game. A bit more dialogue, a bit more charm. Lewd dialogue is hard to write well, I know, but such great spritework almost needs it.

The good
Game's fun, Eurogame/Harvest Moon thingie that is nonetheless fun. Graphics are great, character models have ... character (the Sergeant looks like someone that went through the grinder, the merc looks like a gypsy, the wife looks indeed like an old lady not devoid of charm).

There's some solid foundations here, but against myself I have to say the game is better than the porn. Despite the porn being of incredibly high quality!

I love the design, the pixel art is very striking. I saw a preview of the game mechanics and it shows that it is optimized. Well, I also like this visual style... Thanks for sharing.

Great Game, such a beautiful artwork and simplistic and relaxing, hope to see more of it

5/5 game just because growing weed is better energy gain than growing food. Anyone try going for skull scenes?

 

[Knight6797]

Game is beautiful and very unique, could shape up to be fantastic with more content

 

[Fleet Admiral Trump-Kun]

what are the skull scenes?

 

[RandomServant77]

Anyone try going for skull scenes?

Correct me, but you need to fail first and then specifically succeed in the following week to get the skull scenes, and they're exclusive (you can't get "lower level" skull scenes afterwards)?

It's a bit clunky.

I was just thinking the other day about the missed opportunity of not expanding on the good old farm games with some erotic content. Gameplay wise this feels like THE way to go If you want to have gameplay in a porn game.

Was not really interested, then I saw scars and muscles and instant downloaded it

* Mousing over any icons in buttons, like ✔❌, or the ↩↪ icons on talking, will "block" the button, gotta click elsewhere.
* When eating, it doesn't tell you that you need 3 wheat for each energy
* Once you start fucking your wife, you can still move with WASD
* On day Sunday 16, on delivery, I had 0 tomatoes, 12 wheat and gained +26 from end of the day. After some clicking, I got stuck with only 12 wheat and couldn't deliver to either mercenary or knight. Going back then advancing again, I now had 15 tomatoes out of nowhere.
** On the next Sunday, I had 0 pumpkin and leaf, but after going back from the distribution screen, then forward again, I had enough of both to fully satisfy the mercenary

The most unrealistic aspect here is the unarmed MC not being robbed or forced to work without any reward. Interesting game loop nonetheless

Hey, he isn't ugly, just old. He doesn't look like an Orge had non-consensual relations with a pig and fed the infant nothing but Coke and pizza.

I don't know why I feel an air of graveyard keeper in here but I love it +}
