YarnBrook

Read full description

A little farm that keeps growing while you're away โ€” and a town that eats what you grow. YarnBrook is a cozy farming and village life game set in a world made of felt, yarn and stitches. It runs on your own clock: sow a row of beetroot before work and it is ready when you get home. Rain waters your field for you. Hens lay while you sleep. YOUR FARM FEEDS THE TOWN What you grow does not vanish into a shipping bin. It fills the town's larder, stocks the corner shop's shelves and lays the table at Potluck Sunday, where your neighbours will tell you whose carrots are in the stew. NEIGHBOURS WHO LEND A HAND Life gets busy. Friends in this town notice. Miss a day and a neighbour may walk over to water your rows or feed your hens, and leave a stitched note on your chest to say so. A WORLD THAT IS SEWN A felt sun with stitched rays. A button moon. Quilt seams where the lawn meets the lane. Satin rivers, lace foam on the shore, and tools you mend with yarn and a patch in the colour you choose. A LIFE, NOT A CHECKLIST โ€ข Grow twenty crops through four real seasons โ€ข Keep hens, cows and sheep from your second day โ€ข Fish, catch bugs and fill the museum โ€ข Furnish your cottage and dress how you like โ€ข Make a wish at the well at dusk โ€ข Take photos in a felt frame and keep them โ€ข Find your keepsakes: the town remembers your firsts Everything a day asks of you fits in ten minutes. Everything else is yours to wander. Free to start: your first seven days of play are free. Then one payment unlocks the whole game for good. No subscription, no ads, nothing else for sale. No account. Plays offline.
