History Farming SIM
Placeholder page. Final copy, screenshots, and system requirements land before the Sept 30, 2026 site launch.
A farming and visitor management game set in 1600s Virginia.
You inherit a stretch of Colonial farmland. Clear it, plant it, raise animals, hire hands, and trade with the boats that come up the river. A small settlement grows around you. Each season the work changes, and the choices you make about labor, land, and trade shape what the farm becomes.
The studio is taking the period seriously. The world is researched, the work is real, and the historical record is portrayed honestly.
Status
- Platform: PC, via Steam.
- Launch model: Steam Early Access.

Content notice
History Farming SIM portrays slavery, indentured servitude, and the displacement of Native peoples as part of life in Colonial Virginia. The labels in the game are not softened. The studio's position is that whitewashing the labor and suffering of enslaved people would be disrespectful. The game shows the historical record as it was.
The game opens with a warning screen covering this content. The screen requires an explicit acknowledgement before play begins.
Screenshots
Coming before Early Access. Placeholder layout below.
System requirements
