Homestead Arcana

Homestead Arcana is a combination of an adventure game and a farming RPG. It was developed by Serenity Forge, an indie studio also responsible for Neversong and Land of Screens.

Plot

Homestead Arcana is set in a fantasy world - in a magical realm on the verge of collapse due to a dangerous force known as Miasma. The only survivors were forced to flee high up into the mountains. All is not yet lost, however, thanks to a young witch/farmer, Billie, setting out on a journey to save the land before it is too late. Along the way she's accompanied by her faithful cat Huckleberry.

Mechanics

Homestead Arcana makes use of the third-person perspective (TPP). Traversing the world overrun by Miasma is a dangerous task due to corrupted creatures roaming it. By doing so, however, we learn the world's secrets, acquire various plants, recipes and crafting materials.

Our main base of operations is our farm, where we nurture plants before harvesting them, using them to create spells and brew potions. Resources acquired during our expeditions can be crafted into useful tools. This gradually prepares us for our battle against the Miasma, letting us cleanse different areas of it.

Technical aspects

Homestead Arcana makes use of a colorful manga artstyle.
