There are many reasons why farming simulators are so popular with people. The easiest one, though, is that when they’re made the right way, they offer a fun, deep, and casual experience for gamers to dive into and see just how much fun they can have. Oxalis Games seeks to grab your attention with their own farming sim, Moonfrost, which will drop on Steam Early Access on October 12th. That means you can have a direct line to the developers in their goal of making the game as refined as possible before it launches next year, more than likely. Want some more info? Check out below:

“Moonfrost pairs a relaxing slice-of-life experience with a strong overarchingnarrative. Players harvest, fish, forage, craft and cook. While constructing and customizing every detail of a town devastated by meteor storms. As a FrostHunter, the player learns to harness the mysterious powers of Moonfrost, transforming the fallen meteors into a wide array of structures and creating order from the chaos. As the village comes back to life, so do the stories of the people who live there.

At its heart, Moonfrost is about building and restoring a community you’ll come to care about. Forging a relationship with each character and helping them rebuild their homes and businesses is the game’s unique offering. Every character has distinct personality traits and evolving arcs and the choices players make shape the dynamics of the world around them.”
