Give my son the juice!
Fae Farmis a Stardewlike with a fantastical veneer and 3D graphics, but importantly it frontloads progress.
For example: all activities, including watering your crops, use less energy than in Stardew Valley.

A big thing: you start with a coop, with space for six animals, already on site!
But the complexity lost here is moved elsewhere in Fae Farms.
Fae Farm’s version of the fantasy is pretty cute.

you’re free to hybridise flowers!
you could get a little drinks production table and make vegetable and berry juices, or iced tea!
Chopping stations and proper ovens yield chowders and complex salads.

You go from zero to insta-ready hero in less than an in-game week.
I’m sort of surprised that isn’t a skill track to follow.
I’m enjoying it, though!
There are loads of lovely little details, like rain watering your crops but also wateringyou.
you might also get hot, and you might get cold by visiting the snowy areas of the game.
