A Farm About Digging A Tunnel To Escape Totalitarianism

By day, we're a family of farmers. At night, we dig our way to freedom.

A first-person co-op farming sim in a dictatorship you design yourselves. By day, your family grows the Party's weekly quota under the guards' watch. By night, you dig a secret tunnel under the border wall. Play solo or online with up to four players.

Resettlement order

Household No. 114 is registered at the plot. The house and the yard are yours.

From tomorrow the household is on planned labour.

Glory to .

Issued

You fill in the blank

Before day one, your family invents the regime, and then has to live under it. Grow its wheat. Hang its Leader on your wall. Smile at its patrols. And when nobody is looking, dig.

Features

Some jobs take two

Play alone or as a family of up to four: father, mother, son and daughter. The saw has a handle at each end, the stove is always hungry, and someone has to keep the beds watered while someone else is underground. The household shares one wallet, one Social Rating and all of the blame.

“A member of your family doused a patrolman with water.”

The Party needs wheat

The plan comes by post every Monday and is due on Sunday. It is always achievable, and always a little bigger than last week's. Grow what the Party demands, keep a little back for your own table, and don't come up short: the Party does not like to be disappointed.

Fulfil the plan, and the state may even trust you with the key to the cellar.

A lantern-lit tunnel with timber supports and a pickaxe in hand.

The other way out

“Leaving the settlement is by pass only. Your name is not on the list.”

So you take a lantern down to the cellar. Behind its wall there is earth, then stone, then earth again, and somewhere beyond the border wall, the other side. The regime never comes down here. Every metre takes you further from HOME and closer to FREEDOM.

Create the regime you want to escape from

Paint the flag together. Pick the colours, write the mottos, draw the Leader. Whatever you scribble in two minutes will be watching you for weeks: from a billboard the size of a house and, if you know what's good for you, from your own living-room wall.

Then dress the guards in the uniform you painted and watch them patrol your street.

Questions

When does the game come out?

In 2027. Wishlist it on Steam and Steam will tell you the day it launches.

Can I play alone?

Yes, the whole game works solo. Some jobs are just slower: the two-man saw has a handle at each end for a reason.

How many people can play together?

Up to four, online. Each player is one member of the family: father, mother, son or daughter. Invite friends through Steam or connect by IP.

Which platforms will it be on?

PC (Windows), on Steam.

Is the regime based on a real country?

No. Before day one, you and your friends invent it: the name, the flag, the colours, the mottos, the Leader and the guards' uniform. Then you live under it.
