Overview

Take on the role of William Shepherd, a young man whose new life at Morgan Farm is just beginning. Meet its residents, explore the farm, lend a hand with everyday tasks, build relationships, and experience new events as life on the farm unfolds. Make your choices and discover where they take you.

​Developer Notes:

Once Upon a Farm is our first game as Wild Kraken Studio, a two-person indie team.
All artwork is 100% hand-drawn, and no AI is used for the art or writing.
v0.1 is our first public release and just the beginning. We have plenty planned for the farm, its characters, and the different paths the story can take as development continues.
Thanks for giving our game a try, and feel free to share your feedback or report any bugs you run into!
