The wildly anticipated farming sim Doloc Town prepares to plant its roots in Early Access on May 8, following a demo that captivated players with its quirky charm and addictive gameplay. Developed by RedSaw Games and published by Logoi Games, this genre-blending adventure merges the cozy appeal of Stardew Valley with Terraria’s exploration and a dash of Fallout’s post-apocalyptic grit, creating a uniquely endearing wasteland to cultivate.

A World Worth Rebuilding

At the heart of the map lies Doloc Town itself—a ramshackle haven cobbled together from train wrecks and bridge remnants. Here, players will bond with a cast of eccentric survivors, trading resources over drinks and slowly unraveling the land’s mysteries. But survival demands more than farming and socializing. Scorching heatwaves, toxic acid rains, and other environmental hazards threaten both crops and explorers, requiring clever adaptations like protective coverings or irrigation systems.

Beyond the town’s borders, two expansive biomes await:

• Rivervalley: Lush but unpredictable, its fertile soil comes with sudden floods
• Wetland: A treacherous maze of sinking terrain and hidden relics

Scouting these areas yields precious artifacts and materials. Though, watch out! Platforming skills are a must to navigate crumbling ruins and avoid environmental dangers. Plus, it never hurts to have a helpful drone companion or two on hand.

The Early Access version delivers 20+ hours of story content alongside plentiful side quests, with farming mechanics that reward creativity. Grow mutant crops resistant to acid rain, repurpose scrap metal into irrigation systems, or discover blueprints for bizarre post-apocalyptic tools. The demo’s 97% positive Steam rating hints at the massive community potential for Doloc Town. Developer RedSaw Games plans to expand the world based on community feedback during this Early Access period, which means early and active players can help shape the landscapes and challenges ahead.

A Fresh Take on Farming Sims

What sets Doloc Town apart is its refusal to pigeonhole itself. One moment you’re cheerfully watering neon-blue potatoes; the next, you’re platforming across collapsed highways to scavenge pre-war tech. The trailer teases even more biomes and systems to come, promising an ever-evolving wasteland where every player’s journey will bloom differently.

Mark your calendars—this isn’t just another farming sim. It’s a story about grit, growth, and finding hope in the unlikeliest of places.

Doloc Town launches in Early Access on May 8 via Steam.
