About This Game

HELP: THE GAME Compilation

This title is one of many included in the HELP: THE GAME Compilation.


About the Game

The player is a young man running a farm after the loss of his parents in an implied attack. Using seeds and some basic tools, the player must clear the field, till it, plant and water, then harvest.

A single screen farming game, you play as an orphan who's survived recent attacks and is determined to bring life back to his family farm.

Every day sees you till more land, clear more obstacles, build more tools, plant more seeds and reap more produce. You can donate your produce to the local community who write you letters requesting various items, and in return you will receive seeds for new plants. The game's not about winning though - rather it's about trying to face the pressures of life, and finding pleasure in nurturing new life.

Every game is different as the field's layout is random, and be careful because there is no way to save

Key Features / How to play


  • Bring your family farm back to life with tools, seeds & your hard work.
  • Bring colour back! The more your land is cleared, planted and harvested, the more colour seeps back into the world
  • Work the land with your hoe, shovel, axe and more! Unlock & craft 6 specialised tools to help you farm more of your land!
  • Grow 12 types of seeds & plants, earned by helping the locals, and choose what you want to grow, where and how much!
  • Spend your time wisely each day. Get up at the crack of dawn and the make the most of daylight as each day brings new challenges.
  • Characters living nearby will send you letter - favour quests that bring you more plants to grow if you choose to help them out.
  • Endless play! Once the farm is back up to scratch, there’s no need to stop playing. Keep harvesting and revelling in doing good deeds!
  • Never the same game twice, with the field starting with a random layout of obstacles every time you play.

This game was on my recommended list. I wouldn't have paid the money for it, but it came in a package with like 6 other games or something. I thought maybe I would like at least one of them. I was disappointed after three of the games, Verdan Hue, octo-something and Rise. Each of these games, I think, is trying to make a 'message' about the environment which that's fine. I think whatever 'message' they were trying to make about the state of humanity/world issues/environment is horribly lost by the terrible gameplay and frustrating controls/bad UI. The games that I played had little game interface. There was no menu to save, to change the window size, to change the music volume. The game package said that some of the procedes go to help {insert something} and so I at least can pretend to feel like I have made a small impact instead of wasting money. But if I'm being honest still doesn't appease my frustration with this purchase. I'll focus on this game now Verdant Hue. There is no men...

The game is a bit buggy, and after a while the appeal wears off, but I can't rag on it too much because I've been playing for a pretty substantial amount of time and the game was made for a good cause. After a few in-game days, my shovel glitched out and now I can't use it because it is 'locked', so I can't clear the whole lot, but I was able to work around it. Like I said, though, the game is still pretty fun so I'd say if you are looking for a way to spend some spare time why not check this out?

https://youtu.be/m__enEPnklc The game is a very simple farm sim. That doesn't mean its bad and in fact it is quite good for passing time. For that main reason I am going to give it a thumbs up. I always worry when buying a compilation that most of the games will take 15 minutes to tire out. This is not one of those games for me. Is there much in the way of skill? No, but thats also not the point of the game. The game does have some oddities. The first thing I do not like is the walking movements. Pathing is not very good and you can't change direction mid movement. The day also passes faster than I would like. I also had a not so fun bug in which when I got a reward from a neighbor, the screen would not close. No matter what. The only way to fix this was to start a new game. Otherwise I would give it a 5/10 which for me is a small thumbs up.

I sincerely hate posting negative reviews, however this game lacks almost any positives. There's only three positives I can give this game: 1. Nice soundtrack. 2. Trigger free. 3. Good for all ages. So now here's the reason I have to give this an overall negative review: 1. Monotonous gameplay lacking any incentive to keep playing. 2. Only 3 minutes per day, meaning you don't have time to accomplish much. 3. Lack of interest. 4. Doesn't entertain or make you feel anything other than boredom. Overall, this isn't worth any price, except maybe £0.00
