The Ranchers Demo

About this game

The Ranchers is a cozy country-life sim set in an open world sandbox. In this demo, you’ll venture out on your own, meet the locals, and learn the first steps toward building your very own ranch. It’s a perfect bite-sized glimpse of life in the countryside — for now solo, but soon you’ll be able to share the adventure with up to three friends.

CREATE YOUR RANCH

After years of living in the metropolis' stressful and hectic life, you finally decide to leave everything behind to buy your first lot of land in the country and start a new life, in the quiet, close to nature. However, your skills as a farmer and manager will be put to the test to make your Ranch a prosperous business and earn the villagers' respect and esteem. And who knows, maybe find love and start a family.

Raise animals, grow crops, reclaim resources, buy new lots of land, and much more. You'll have plenty of space to create the Ranch of your dreams.

DEVELOP YOUR RANCH

Craft objects, machines, and transform your basic resources into elaborate products to attract villagers, fill daily orders, or sell them in different markets for maximum profit.

MANAGE YOUR RANCH

Optimize your Ranch's resource consumption, sign water, electricity contracts, or build your water wells, wind turbines, and solar panels and sell your surplus to the village.

A GIGANTIC OPEN WORLD

On foot, horseback, scooter, pickup, or yacht, explore a gigantic open world where mines, wild islands, shipwrecks, and dangerous monsters abound. Use your skills to recover ultra-rare minerals, gems, etc., to make and improve your tools, donate them to the village museum, or sell them at the auction market to other players.

BUILD THE HOUSE OF YOUR DREAMS

By the seaside, in the middle of the prairie, or on top of a hill, choose your decor and place your furniture to create a house that reflects your image and that your friends will love.

JOIN THE COMMUNITY

Meet many colorful characters and discover their atypical personalities, everyday life, and fascinating stories. They go to work, go to the park, go to the restaurant, play sports, and interact with each other in many different ways. Take the time to get to know them, make friendships, and who knows, maybe love will be there, and you can move in together, have children and start a family?
