Normally in these games, you plop down a seed, pour some water over it and wait till you can harvest. One of Homestead Arcana's more interesting twists is the way you grow veggies and fruits. You're farming with a purpose and selling everything you don't need still feeds into progression in a meaningful way for the most part. This creates a satisfying gameplay loop where long phases of preparation transition into tense exploration segments. And in the mist, you discover more items and equipment to that add to that circle. To go and explore the mist, you have to prepare equipment and resources. Instead, you get to venture into that mist to figure out what is going on. Then ask them to grow produce until the miasma swallows their newly established homestead.īut if you think this is the setup for a timed farming sim where you have to constantly fear everything you love will be swallowed by poisonous mist, you're mistaken. So the solution people came up with is quite simple, train witches in magic, alchemy, and botany. Most of the world has been covered by a dangerous miasma and only the mountaintops and some selected areas are still inhabitable by humans.

You play a witch who just recently graduated from the academy and now has the glorious task of growing produce out in the wild.

The setup of Homestead Arcana is simple but intriguing from the start. 6 7.5/10 Nothing Special but Charming in its Own Way.
