Deep Dive
Mechanics That Set Us Apart
The Card System
Every action rewards you with card packs. Scratch off lottery tickets for prizes, activate quest cards when YOU'RE ready, and stack up to 4 buff cards for powerful combos. Players say it's "insanely addictive" and makes every day feel rewarding.
Living Companions
Your talking dog Munger threatens you if you don't feed him. Your chicken fights slimes by your side. Your cow carries you across the map. Animals aren't just decoration—they're partners with their own personalities, skills, and growth systems.
Real Farming Science
The developer spent 3 years homesteading off-grid, hatching chickens, breeding goats, and managing 13 bee colonies. That experience shaped Cornucopia's unique soil system with NPK values, soil types, and composting. Go deep into optimization or plant casually—it works both ways.

What Farmers Are Saying
Real reviews from real players — see why they can't stop playing
"Massively underrated. NPCs are way better written than Stardew, they feel like actual people. YOU CAN SAVE AT ANY TIME. This game took all the mechanics and made them better."
"The game really opens up when you realize coffee is a viable alternative to sleep."
"I just got this game today... how the heck did I never hear about it? What an absolute hidden gem! I played for 8 hours straight."
"This game has SO many revolutionary and creative things. The pet that follows you and helps fight monsters and cut trees—wow! And a dog that can play fetch!"
"Unlike other Stardew clones, you never need to sleep. The music is frickin rad. You can take your animals with you, where they help with chores. Green cows, purple horses. So much to collect."
"The dev makes the breast sizes larger every time someone complains. I laugh every time. Also has horse racing—you'd think that'd be obvious but plenty of games don't have it."

A Solo Dev's Labor of Love
Growing up, Harvest Moon 64 wasn't just a game—it was an escape and an inspiration. The music, the characters, the festivals, the charm—it planted the seed for my dream of creating a farming-life sim of my own.
In my 20s, I spent three years homesteading off-grid in rural Canada. I hatched chickens and ducks, bred goats and pigs, raised a Jersey cow named Lotka, and started 13 bee colonies. That experience directly inspired Cornucopia's in-depth soil and composting systems.
Characters like Roger the Lumberjack are inspired by real people—he's based on my dad, who used to put on a goofy hat and fake teeth to troll people. He passed away when I was 13, and I've dedicated this game to him.
My 12-year-old English Bulldog, Munger, is in the game as your talking farm companion. You can play fetch with him! (He also threatens to poop in your mailbox if you don't feed him. He's a character.)
Every purchase directly supports an independent creator's dream. When you play Cornucopia, you're not just playing a game—you're becoming part of a story 10 years in the making. Thank you for being here.
