(PC) Chill farming games (non-Anime)? (lemmy.world)

It's Steam sale and I'm looking for chill farming/building games that do not look like Anime. The setting is secondary, because I've no idea what's out there. Can be in space, historical, fantasy, anything really and I'll have a look. I just don't like Anime style and forced cuteness.

Would love to hear your suggestions!

I guess no cuteness / anime excludes the rune factory series so I'd go with the following recommendations:

  • Stardew Valley is an all time favorite .
  • Kynseed feels like the fever dream of someone who once heard of these kind of games. But you can decide for yourself if you want to focus on questing, farming, becoming a business mogul or whatever. Time is not really relevant in this game since you character doesn't have to sleep and you can just get kids or adopt them and continue you game with them if your character gets old.
  • Graveyard Keeper has a very different spin on the whole genre, it has a dark sense of humor and not knowing what to do, when the bodies pile up can be stressful but I enjoyed it a lot.
  • Travelers Rest is a game where you build your own tavern. I only played it for a few hours in early access but it felt relaxing and looked nice so far. It's out for a while now but I haven't returned yet (stupid sexy Hades II.. )

There are also cross overs with other genres like Moonstone Island which combines building your own home and collecting pets and discovering new islands with their help.

I second travelers rest. I'm not too far in it despite owning it for years. It's very chill. I don't think there's any real time limits. The only real issue I've had with it was accidentally opening my inn and not realizing a crowd has developed with no one to serve them.

Graveyard keeper is pretty good too but I stopped playing after needing extra kinds of materials. It's been a while but the farming of the resources was just a little too much for the type of experience I was after. I'll get back to it eventually. I liked the idea of the game a lot.

I had the same experience with Graveyard Keeper but gave it another try a few years later. Either they balanced it more or it bothered me less, but the second time I was able to complete it without ending up hating it :D
