This game is a psychological horror VN set on a rural farm in middle-America. It is very short, taking only 15-20 minutes to read through once. It was made for the farmjam2024, and panic horror jam over the course of a month by a single person (myself). The theme of the game is really simple: What do you do when your memory seems to be unreliable, and not line up with what you can see in front of you?

Press reviews: “I love how you crafted a story that can be so ambiguously interpreted. It really leaves it up to the viewer paint their own narrative with the context clues laid out in the story!” Itchio “This was a really nice read. I didn't know what to expect from it, but after getting what I think was all the endings it came full circle.” itchio “Wow, fantastic art! Makes me want to leave my job, pull a Stardew Valley, and move to the countryside right away. :) Of course, the peaceful opening tone makes... the twist that much more radical and gripping. I am ambivalent about the choice to speak about the player character in the third person. Most games would say 'I' or 'you.' Saying 'The Farmer' puts a little distance between the player and the player character.” itchio 

Notes: off-screen child deaths, mention of a miscarriage.
