Developer Note: In the interest of honesty I wanted to add this to the game description. As of now Verdant Village is under reconstruction. An engine change has been deemed necessary for the improvement of the game. The current version on Steam is functional and all reviews posted are of the game in its current form. This message is here to inform any potential buyers of what is going on with the game. Currently any bugs that are found will be left. When the new version is comparable to the live one it will replace the current live game. And of course progress on the new version of the game will be posted each month. Take on the challenges of living a life in the rustic medieval town of Amberglen. You've washed up on a quiet beach with nothing to your name, not even your memories.

Press reviews: “If you've built the loveliest farmland, found yourself the handsomest spouse, and grown the tastiest turnips in Stardew Valley, and now you want another life sim to envelop you for the next few months you should try Verdant Village.” PC Gamer “Verdant Village's free alpha shows massive promise for this fantasy Stardew-like” Rock Paper Shotgun
