I have met quite a few people who confided to me that they really want to give up their city jobs and return home to live a life in the countryside. Surely, people feel quite tired when they have to go through many ups and downs in city life, so they want to return to the countryside to live a leisurely life. Grasping this mentality, the developers deliberately created this game so that players can live their desires. Family Farming: My Island Life is said to be a farming game set in a slightly unusual setting where players will take on the role of a family drifting to a deserted island rather than a life in the countryside.
FARMING AND CRAFTING SYSTEM
Still carrying the characteristics of previous farm games, this game still provides players with more farm-related features such as planting and gathering. The player’s goal is still to develop their deserted island farm to become more developed. However, there are still a few differences in this game: players will be allowed to craft items based on resources on the island to help build their farm.
- Satisfying farming loop: Still, a feature that helps attract many gamers who are passionate about farm life, the game will allow players to plant the seeds they have and plan for the harvest afterward.
- Useful crafting: To make farming in the game easier, the game is specially designed for players to add the ability to create items for them to use.
- Farm customization: Although this gameplay is nothing too special, it still brings a certain addictive feeling when the player will always be in the mood of waiting for the plants to be harvested and then replanting the plants again.
EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE
What makes this game more attractive and also gives it more ability to retain players is the discovery feature that is available from the moment the player starts this game. With this feature, every time the player completes all the project work, they will be allowed to plan their expedition to help expand the player’s operating area wider.
- Island exploration: Perhaps from the beginning, the game was designed with the context of the character being lost on a deserted island because the game makers aimed to create a feature to help players discover hidden secrets in the game.
- Exciting quests: The discoveries in the game are not random at all because only when the player receives an exploration request from the game are they allowed and also given hints for where the treasure is hidden.
- Puzzle solving: To increase the fun of the game, the developers have also added many other puzzles along the way that make players have to use their brains more to decode them.
COOKING SYSTEM
To increase the relaxation in this game, players will also be able to use the cooking features in the game. This feature is highly appreciated by many gamers because, thanks to it, they can have condensed moments every time they cook a dish. The game also emphasizes family when the character will not be able to automatically enjoy a meal if all family members are not present.
- Recipe experimentation: Ingredients used for meals will be able to be harvested from the farm and also gathered on the island. Collecting materials on the island will sometimes give players more surprises because some rare materials that the game has added have a fairly low appearance rate.
- Ingredient combinations: In this game, players absolutely do not have a fixed recipe because the more creative they are with ingredients, the more new recipes they can create.
ENGAGING STORY AND CHARACTERS
The game is set in the main story of a family drifting on an uninhabited island. The lucky thing here is that this family did not encounter any danger because there were no wild animals here. Some of the animals that players can find are just normal farm animals, such as cows, chickens, and pigs. All of these factors help players easily survive in the new phase of building a place to live on the island.
- Family survival: The main goal of the player in this game is not to build an island full of their buildings but to try to have the opportunity to return to their hometown.
- Character bonding: The spirit that is most praised in this game is probably the spirit of family support. The activities in the game will almost always involve the whole family, not just one person.
- Immersive storytelling: Through this game, many gamers will feel more appreciative of their family after they have gone through so much hardship on the island.
