About
You’ve inherited a quiet piece of land and a rundown farm. It’s not much at first, but it’s yours.
There’s a lot to fix, a lot to build, and even more to figure out.
Work at your own pace, set your own goals, and make something real. One day, one choice, one goal at a time.
This is where it starts.
Farming here isn’t about repetitive clicks, it's about meaningful choices. Choose exactly where, when and how to plant your seeds, nurture your crops through sunny days and heavy rains, and watch your farm transform season by season. With over 30 different plant species to learn and grow, your land is yours to shape freely.
Your farm isn't just crops and tools. It's a living, breathing place, home to animals with distinct personalities and behaviours. Intelligent animal systems offers a deep interaction with all farm animals! With over 20 animals in the game, the Farm always feels alive!
Protect your animals from predators that roam at night; keep an eye open, or face the consequences!
Renovate more than just your house. Repair barns, rebuild fences, restore sheds, and bring every forgotten corner of the farm back to life. With over 50 different in-world interactable items, 20 premade structures, and almost 100 freehand placeable items as Utility Items, Decorations and other Misc. items!
Whether you’re fixing the old or building something new, it all starts with your hands. Use the tools you’ve crafted, the materials you’ve gathered, and build every structure step by step. Full freedom to decorate, design, and create a farm that’s truly yours.
Clear the land, gather raw materials, and start building your farm from the ground up. Trim overgrowth, chop down trees, and turn logs into planks, stakes, and other essentials.
There are 6 different crafting benches in the game each representing a different production process. From cooking to smelting and everything in between!
Use tools, machines, and vehicles! From basic gear to powerful tractors and ATVs, to get the job done your way. Everything you use, you earn. Everything you build, you built for a reason.
Use your resources to craft everything from simple decorations to functional structures that store goods, process items, or unlock new features. Upgrade your tools, expand your options, and shape the farm your way, piece by piece.
Bring your farm to life through buying, selling, and smart trading. Visit the Animal Market to buy livestock, trade animals, and grow your herd.
Sell your crops, crafted goods, and animal products to earn money. Then reinvest your profits into tools, upgrades, and improvements for your farm!
Explore a range of shops: from the Farmer’s Market to specialty stores where you can trade for seeds, supplies, rare items, and more.
The day/night cycle and changing seasons shape how you farm, explore, and plan ahead. From sunny harvests to stormy nights, nature plays a real role.
Step beyond your fields to visit markets, trade with neighbours, and pick up new supplies that help your farm grow.
This is your land, and the freedom to build the farm life of your dreams.

Hillshade Farm is a very enjoyable game where you initially work through quests as you develop your farm. Even though there is a quest system in place you still have the flexibility to build and upgrade your farm as you like as you progress through the knowledge tree and you unlock the additional skills needed when you level up. Unfortunately the initial negative reviews were from players that did not take the time to learn the game or were not patient enough to allow the DEV time to work through the initial issues as the surfaced from the EA release. - The games continues to develop further and has a huge potential for additional content. - One of the things that stand out is that you are forever busy taking care of and working on your farm, it doesn't feel like a grind as you progress. - Since this is an EA game, the thing that stands out the most is that when glitches or ideas surface from the player base, the DEV is all over them and is constantly working on and releasing patches which will put this game ahead of the rest in the future. - The forums are very active to include multiple interactions from players that are extremely helpful. Give this game a try, well worth the $$ spent.
This game is what I've been waiting for, for such a long time. A farming game with no pressures but quests that keep your interest in the game. There are some things for the developer to work on, however, the developer is responsive to any issues and the game, so far, has had daily updates. I cant wait to see what the future holds for this game.
I bought this game fully knowing there is a probably long early access road ahead. This is ok for me, I enjoy bug hunting and making suggestions to improve the game play and QOL. With that being said, I enjoy the game, I want to play more and unlock more improvements for my farm. The concept is really cool, the art style is really nice. This game is made by a solo dev with a big dream and a passion project. I want to see it get better and succeed. The patches come in quick and feedback and very well received. For potential players that lack patience, it's ok to wait for more improvements and content. Early access is not for everyone and that's ok.
For a early access released game if has come a long way from the demo. The dev is helping fixes the bugs and issues in a timely manner. I cant wait to see what else the dev comes out with. Also a perk the community is extremely helpful.
Honestly love this game. I have hours invested into it. I do recommend this to anyone looking for a game to live out your homesteading dreams. Please understand the game is new, and still buggy but the improvements are significant already from first release. The developer is super responsive and on top of any bugs and offering fixes for them. This will be a really phenomenal game once its finished. I cant wait to see what comes of the finished game!!
This game is beautiful and lots of fun. It has so much potential to become so much more as well. Whenever any bugs pop up the Dev gets right on it and usually has it fixed within the day. I'm really loving it! Thank you for a game that's really worth playing.
The game needs refinement and polish but overall this is a great and fun game. I have only had it installed a few days and many things have been fixed and changed for the better. There is already so many things to do in the game and potential for much more. The developer or development team appears to be working around the clock because fixes are happening continuously.
I gave this a reccommendation, I want to start off with , This game has great bones, The dev works hard, and is keeping up with patches, I did put this game on the back burnner as there was far to many bugs for me to properly enjoy the game in its current state. I will come back in a couple weeks to try again, this game will be amzing once the bugs are taken care off
I am liking the game thus far. Dev is active and pushes out updates on a regular basis. We get a lot of land to build on. Having fun creating my farm layout while completing quests/tutorials. I like that my car is the only one on the road as there are some very curvy roads. The landscape is beautiful. Sometimes I just drive around to see the views.
This game has great potential. Its beautifully made, the graphics are amazing. You have a lot of land to build and create. Its still early access and it shows when it comes to the movement. Its very laggy and the driving needs a lot of work. The dev is a lot of work to do but if i being completely honest, this game is definitely worth the frustration. I can't wait to see what this game turns into once the time comes.
