Description:
Taking its inspiration from farm-themed social network games (such as FarmVille) as well as popular life simulations (such as The Sims 3), Family Farm has you working on a 19th century farmstead along with family members and hired hands.
You'll be able to customize your family by assigning various talents, skills and needs. Extra help is available by hiring workers, and over time, you can expand your house to make room for babies, who will become the next generation of workers on your farm.
The game utilizes a real-time clock, so you'll have to carefully plan your day to get work done as efficiently as possible. You'll need to cook meals and feed workers, care for animals such as horses, cows, sheep, and chickens, till the soil, plant seeds, and harvest the crops. You'll also have to worry about inclement weather and other variables.
Cooking meals will give family members and workers temporary boosts in stats, allowing them to work faster and improve their farming skills. You'll also be able to customize your farm by adding various decor items, monitor your farm's progress with in-game statistics, and earn both achievements and trophies by completing different milestones.
