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.

      My initial impression of Moonstone Island is that it’s kind of like a cross between Stardew Valley and Pokemon. Does that sound about right?

      Many thanks for the tips! Graveyard Keeper and Traveler’s Rest look interesting. The rest is pretty much exactly what I don’t want in terms of style haha.
