About This Game

Skyfarm is a cozy single-player 3D farming simulation set atop a post-apocalyptic urban rooftop, where you'll cultivate a garden using permaculture principles. As you nurture your rooftop oasis, you'll create self-regulating ecosystems that produce food and increase biodiversity, all while interacting with fellow rooftop gardeners to exchange materials and unlock new plants, zones, and garden elements.

It's been ten years since the great flood destroyed everything. The entire city is submerged, with water reaching up to the third floor, never receding. The famine that followed led to the rise of Skyfarms on the rooftops, producing just enough food for the city's survivors. You are unauthorized, tasked with working this garden using everything at your disposal. You receive food and necessities through various machines. Occasionally, a drone lands by the water tank, replacing the box with spare parts, new seeds, or seedlings. The analyzer guides you on how to tend the garden, while the converter tells you what to harvest. As you lean over the railing, you can hear the water far below in the fog and wonder what it will be like once you’ve earned your citizenship in the community below.

But you are not alone in this task. Together with a cute cat and a community of helpful Skyfarmers on other buildings, you can make the rooftop your home and create a cozy, beautiful garden.
