About this gameFull description from Steam
I'm the solo developer of Seeds of Calamity. I grew up playing Nintendo games and later fell in love with farming sims. I wanted to make the kind of game I'd love to play myself, blending cozy farming sim gameplay with dungeon crawling and turn-based combat. I hope it's something you'll enjoy! In a quiet wayside village you’d pass by in a classic JRPG – you and your fluffy Spellbook Companion tend your farm, help the community, and explore dungeons filled with challenge and treasure. Twenty years after the Great Calamity, the land is finally recovering. As a young adventurer, you’ll leave the bustling capital to settle in a quiet village on the frontier. Here, you’ll build a cozy farm, help your neighbors, and uncover the small joys of life in a world healing from its past. Tend crops, raise animals, and craft tools to grow your farm through the seasons! Help rebuild by sending resources to the capital and supporting your community. Celebrate the post-Calamity world with festivals, from harvest feasts to moonlit gatherings. Beyond the village, dungeons filled with enemies, bosses, and valuable resources become a key part of your journey. Turn-based combat feeds directly into your progression, unlocking new upgrades, systems, and ways to develop your farm. The Spellbook Companion is your constant ally, guiding you through your journey. This magical friend helps you uncover hidden treasures, catalog recipes and quests, and even casts spells in battle. It’s more than a companion – it’s an essential part of your adventure. Seeds of Calamity is designed with inclusivity in mind, featuring extensive accessibility options. Adjust controls, length of day, colors, difficulty, visuals, and more to ensure the game feels right for you. Step into a world rebuilding from its past, one crop, friendship, and adventure at a time!
