The game features a distinct visual style akin to a graphic novel, with plenty of tidbits and authentic photos for history buffs to learn about as they progress through the game.

Part visual novel and part match-3 puzzler, this charming pixel-art title combines elements of both genres to present players a wholesome experience about what it means to be a farmer wielding the magic of Mother Gaia.
