A relaxed daily life spent farming and chatting with neighbors. ‘Farming Camp,’ a healing farm adventure currently in development by Rotterdam-based indie publisher SOEDESCO and developer Innerfire Studios, will begin its Steam playtest on July 17.

The playtest will run from July 17, 2026 at 9:00 AM (CEST) until August 2, and players who wish to participate can apply for access on the Steam page.

Picture book-like hand-drawn graphics and warm emotions

Farming Camp is a game featuring warm, hand-drawn-style 2D top-down graphics. Every corner of the camp, including trees, fences, and furrows, is depicted in detail, and combined with unique character designs, it creates an atmosphere akin to looking at a picture book.

The game focuses on a relaxed daily life rather than competition or time pressure. The core gameplay involves spending the day interacting with residents and enjoying small mini-games amidst scenery that changes with the seasons. Natural environmental sounds and gentle background music blend together to complete the comfortable atmosphere.

It’s not just a farming game… Characters and story are at the center.

Players experience the basics of farm life, such as planting seeds, watering, and harvesting crops. Additionally, various mini-games taking place throughout the camp add variety to the repetitive gameplay.

Above all, the biggest features of ‘Farming Camp’ are its story and characters. During approximately 15 to 20 hours of gameplay, you meet residents with diverse backstories and unique personalities, build relationships, and unravel the camp’s story step by step. Beyond simply running a farm, interaction with people has become the core flow of the game.

Expectations among healing game fans rising … Reactions and outlook

With the reveal of its hand-drawn graphics, relaxed atmosphere, and character-driven story, Farming Camp is garnering growing interest from fans of healing games. In particular, its picture-book-like visuals and story length of 15 to 20 hours are drawing attention as differentiating factors from existing farm simulations.

Attention is focused on how ‘Farming Camp,’ a game combining SOEDESCO’s publishing experience and Innerfire Studios’ development capabilities, will be evaluated during this playtest. Users who wish to participate in the playtest can apply for access on the Steam ‘Farming Camp’ page.
