On a small farm at the edge of the old woods, the crops keep vanishing and the farmer can't figure out why. He's not a bad farmer. He's just asleep when the trouble comes - and the trouble knows it.

But someone else has been watching. One night a Tomte, a whiskered little gnome out of Scandinavian folklore, crept down from the treeline and worked his magic on the farmer's scarecrow. That's you. The farmer still handles the planting, the watering, the harvest - he has no idea you can move. Everything that creeps out of the woods to eat his crops is your business now.

It won't be easy. The pests come in waves from first light to the dead of night, and the deeper the woods get stirred up, the stranger the things that wander out of them. But with a shed full of garden tools, a little folk magic, and maybe a friend or three, this old farm might have a future after all.

Features

Four shifts, no breaks. Deer and bunnies nibble at dawn, bears lumber in by afternoon, and after dark the woods send their strange ones - ghouls, mushroom goblins, and worse. The waves roll around the clock and grow with every day the farm survives.

Fight like a scarecrow. Send pests running with a wave of dread, or take a garden tool to them - trowel, hoe, rake, shovel, or a pitchfork that flings them clear across the field.

Build while they're coming. Dig trenches, set lures, plant stinging nettles, and raise spook stones right in the middle of the wave. The pests won't wait for you to get ready.

Leave notes for the farmer. Sign them "Ol' Jo," a helpful neighbor. He'll buy whatever seeds and tools the note suggests on his next market trip - as long as the harvest earned enough to cover it.

Sell crops or spend them. Whatever stays in the field, the farmer sells to keep the farm afloat. Whatever you quietly harvest yourself becomes crafting material. The farm's whole fate sits inside that choice.

Dig at your own risk. Five relics out of old folklore lie buried beneath the fields - a dwarf's ring, a pair of dancing shoes, and other things the stories warned about. Each one is powerful. Each one has a price, and you'll learn it the hard way.

Lose the farm, keep the lessons. When the farm is overrun, the fields reset - but the scarecrow remembers. Spend your hard-earned advancement points on permanent upgrades and get a little further each run.

Solo or 2-4 player online co-op. More scarecrows, more chaos - waves scale to the size of your crew.
