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.

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.
