Cornucopia by developer Subconscious Games is a 2.5D pixel graphic farming sim with a lot of personality. You inherit tools and a farm, and are left to make it a thriving operation. What makes this game stand out from other farm sims, though? Well, quite a few things, actually. There is an in-depth soil and compost system and pets help you with interactions and you can enter them into races. There are different minigames to engage with, as well as over 200 recipes to cook. This delightful farm sim has taken a step beyond just simple farming, and now it’s added a great new update!
The Big Farm Expansion
Now your lovely farm has been beautifully revamped to feature a pond, bridge, and relocated the storage shed. Cornucopia has also expanded the farm’s area so you have more space to realize your farming dreams. There’s also a new quest for you and Rufus to explore that will double your soil areas to allow you more crop growing space! The update even lets you discover new shortcuts and layouts around your farm that helps streamline your farming experience.
Even the NPCs in Cornucopia get a fresh new interaction update! They now have overhead displays when you approach them that give you information on your relationship with them. This lets you better plan those special moments! Even better than that, though, is the added ability to remap keys on the keyboard or remap your controller binds. So, now you can play in the best way that suits you! And of course there has been polishing and bug fixing going on as well.
Release Date
You can get Cornucopia now on Steam, and the Big Farm Expansion Update went live a few days ago!

Your job in this laid-back nature sim is to collect and breed frogs in order to restore her children to her.
