Buy Rancher: A New Life PC key

Rancher: A New Life is a ranch life simulator set in rural America. You repair and improve a ranch, grow food, raise animals and take on work and leisure activities as you build a life there.

Grow and prepare food

Plant vegetables and flowers in garden beds or a greenhouse, then water and harvest your crops. You can arrange flowers, vegetables and fruit in the garden, pick apples in the orchard, and mow the grass yourself or let cows do it. Cook recipes of varying complexity in the kitchen, on the grill or over a campfire, using ingredients such as vegetables, freshly caught fish and milk.

Repair and build

The ranch needs repairs, including patching holes in the roof and filling cracks in the walls. You can paint rooms, replace furniture, redesign interiors and add decorations such as fireplace ornaments and potted plants. Earnings can go toward expanding your workshop, buying tools and equipment, and building increasingly complex structures from boards you cut yourself, from bookcases and pasture fences to birdhouses.

You can also restore a forgotten car by repairing its engine, replacing its tires and giving it a new paint job. Once restored, it can take you into town.

Animals and activities

Raise and sell cows, chickens and other livestock. Feed them or let them graze in pastures, ensure they have water, breed cows and collect eggs. A dog can help herd animals into pastures, and you can also care for it and play fetch.

Away from ranch work, you can ride an ATV on forest trails, explore the ranch on horseback, gather mushrooms in the woods, photograph animals, fish, visit a shooting range, or have a campfire or barbecue at a nearby gazebo. You can learn the harmonica, beat personal records and take on challenges. Eating well, sleeping enough and avoiding overwork are also part of ranch life.
