    Demo Gameplay Length
    Short (1-3 hours)

    Right now I'm focusing on making the dungeon explorer parts,

    so the farming parts is just the bare necessities,

    please bear this in mind when playing the demo.

    Reap and Sow is a mixture of a farming sim and dungeon explorer.
    Explore your own mind by entering your dreams.
    Take care of a farm during the day.

    The dreamworld will be split into 12 parts, each with a distinctive look:
    Abandoned temples, dark forests, insane asylums, underground tunnels and much more. Each dreamworld ends with a boss.

    The dreamworld will tie into the real world and you can use some crops that you grow in your

    farm to affect the dreamworld (mostly the mushrooms you can grow later).

    Some items from the real world can also be used in the dreamworld.
    You start with almost nothing except a few seeds,
    and from there you must expand with more plants and even livestock.

    Short story synopsis

    You and everyone in the village you live
    in have all been turned into living skull dolls.
    You have no memory of how or why this happened.

    Your goal is to find out what happened and if possible reverse it.

    Somehow you feel like your dreams can help you accomplish this.

    Just a heads up, some of the screenshots (all of them actually) are old and for example the character sprite and the title screen has been changed, it's not super important but worth noting.

    Also I did post this topic a while back but couldn't find it again after a lenghty break so here it is again, since I updated the download with lots of new stuff a couple of days ago.

    This game really caught my imagination. I really wish to see more!

    Something that I hope makes it in is the ability to revisit previous dreamscapes.

    Excellent farming code. I have been wanting to make a farm sim for a while and this is an excellent source of learning for me. Are you still working on this?
