Mechanics

Shepherd's Crossing tasks us with running a small farm. We must plant plants, harvest crops, raise animals and expand the farm by constructing new buildings or fences.

The player must do all of this manually. Unusually, there's no money within the game - to acquire certain resources, we must trade materials with villagers.

The game features changing seasons, each with new challenges and opportunities. Available activities include hunting vermin using dogs, producing meat and wool.
