Cornucopia

Cornucopia is a 2.5D farm-life RPG about building a farm, forming relationships with villagers and exploring dungeons beneath the land. You wake after being thawed from a century-old freeze among curious villagers, while a camera-loving conspiracy theorist follows you and a mystery waits underground. Your choices, including whom you marry and how you manage your soil, shape your story. There are 50+ characters and 34+ romance options.

Farm and soil

Grow crops in living soil by balancing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium with compost. Soil, compost and the seasons affect growth, yield and seasonal bonuses. The game includes 74 crops, 50 trees and 15 berry bushes, with options ranging from legendary crops such as wasabi to greenhouse watermelon hybrids.

Upgrade and expand your farm, decorate its interiors, and improve your house, barn, coop and shed. You can repair the greenhouse for bonuses, build the Hot Springs, or move into a Beach Villa, Treehouse or Mountain Lodge. More than 90 hats provide stat boosts or cosmetic options.

Animals and family

Hatch and breed magical animals, passing rare traits, colors and patterns through generations. Animals level up and grow stronger; you can, for example, chop trees with a horse, race a wild chicken or bond with a slime. Pets have likes, dislikes and hidden abilities that can be bred into later generations.

You can date and marry one of 34+ eligible characters, then raise a child from baby to toddler to kid. Your partner determines what the child becomes, including wizard kids, kappa offspring, spirit children and goddess babies.

Villagers and seasons

Build bonds with 50+ villagers through gifts and conversations, and redecorate their rooms once you are close to them. Villagers gossip, date and form friendships of their own, and some may fall for you. A map shows their current locations, while discovered waypoints let you fast-travel around town.

The game has four seasons, multiple regions and 72 original tracks that change with the weather and time of day. Seasonal festivals include the Chicken Festival and mountaintop Fireworks Night, with activities such as contests and an Auction House where you can bid on rare animals and decorations.

Dungeons and activities

Explore caves for loot, lost relics and gemstone fruits, and fight monsters and bosses using more than 11 weapon types. Weapons and gear have individually rolled stats, and every third hit lands a finisher. Procedural dungeons place rare enemies, secret bosses and treasure rooms in different locations each time; Peaceful mode prevents monsters from starting fights.

Fishing uses a bounce-style system, and the Arcade has more than 10 mini-games, including coin-pushers, claw machines, shooters and pet races. You can also cook more than 200 dishes from ingredients and monster drops. Frying Pans, Bain Maries and Fusion Cookers each boost dish value, and the Cooking Festival at Chef Simon's restaurant offers rewards.

Play at your own pace

There is no forced bedtime or passing out, and you can adjust the game speed. Camera tilt, zoom and field of view are adjustable, from a flat storybook view to a classic top-down angle. Extra items overflow into storage, and tools such as the watering can and axe improve through use.

The game includes 97 achievements and five badges. Cards provide permanent buffs such as Double Jump, Underwater Breathing and Auto-Revive; monster quests and neighbor tasks offer rewards, while cards found through play can also provide economic perks like Shop Discounts, Faster Refining or More Rare Fish. Saves also vary in villagers' birthdays and favorite gifts, animal traits, gear stats and dungeon layouts.
