AgriLife

AgriLife is a farming game about managing plots to feed a village whose population grows each turn. You plow, sow and harvest crops in a colorful fantasy world, balancing food production against the effects your actions have on the soil. Weather and seasons shape this interconnected environment, and you must keep the village’s satisfaction above zero to avoid losing.

Farming through the seasons

You choose when to advance time. Each week, your crops grow until harvest; use your available tools to meet their needs, then spend your action points before moving on to the next week and seeing how your choices fare. The weather changes with the seasons and affects the ground, while the soil evolves from turn to turn.

You analyze the land in different regions of the map, including its nutrients and humidity, and consider longer-term erosion risks. Crops draw resources from the soil, are affected by weather hazards, and influence nearby plants and the land where they grow. Each species has its own needs and interactions, and belongs to a family.

Feeding the village

You sell crops to the village to maintain its food supply and satisfy its growing population. Residents may also request specific kinds of food, and you decide whether to meet those demands. Production must keep pace with population growth, while poor choices can leave you with depleted soil or in bankruptcy from unnecessary purchases.

Unlocks and restarts

As the population grows, you need to produce more. You can unlock new tools, tips for using them, additional plots to cultivate and strategy advice in the encyclopedia. If you lose, you start again from the beginning with new plots and the initial village, but keep everything you have unlocked. Each restart lets you try a different strategy, with no single set path through the game.

Sound and atmosphere

The soundscapes change with the seasons, weather and time of day. Musical themes adapt dynamically to these conditions.
