farming sim

Virtual crop tending

A farming sim is a video game genre where players manage virtual farms, typically planting crops, raising livestock, and developing their land over time.

These games emphasize relaxing, repetitive gameplay loops rather than action or competition.

I've been playing that farming sim for hours—just harvesting turnips and befriending villagers.

Popular examples like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon often blend farming mechanics with social elements like building relationships with townspeople.
