About Big Farm Story
In Big Farm Story you inherit a neglected farm left by your grandfather. The farm starts with crumbled buildings and overgrown fields, and you must restore it by planting crops, harvesting, and tending animals while looking for clues about your missing grandpa.
The game blends adventure, casual, RPG and simulation elements and offers single‑player, local co‑op, and online features such as Steam Achievements, Remote Play Together, and full controller support.
01 / THE GUIDE
Local Co‑op Mode
A local co‑op mode lets two players experience the whole story together on the same screen. One player controls the main character while the other controls a helping pet, and both share the same farm view.
The mode is listed as shared/split‑screen co‑op, meaning the two participants see the same world simultaneously and can cooperate without separate game instances.
- Discuss which tasks each player prefers before starting a session.
- Coordinate movement to avoid both players crowding the same spot.

Rebuilding the Farm
When you arrive the farm is described as abandoned with crumbled buildings and overgrown fields. Your goal is to restore structures, plant organic vegetables, and gather resources to meet neighbor requests.
You can personalize your farmhouse by collecting furniture and decorations, allowing you to shape the visual style of your home as you progress.
- Prioritize repairing essential buildings as you restore the farm.
- Collect decorations early if visual customization is important to you.

Animal Care
The game features chickens, cows, alpacas, and baby animals that can be bred for rare varieties. You can feed, pet, and nurture each creature as part of daily farm life.
A personal pet follows you around the farm, providing companionship while you work on other tasks.
- Observe each animal type to learn how best to care for it.
- Keep a simple record of parent pairs when breeding for rare breeds.

Villager Interaction
A nearby village is populated by characters with distinct personalities and storylines. Meeting them and completing their requests integrates you into the community.
Friendship with villagers grows by following their requests, which can lead to additional dialogue and new tasks as the story unfolds.
- Keep track of villager requests regularly to stay aware of new villager needs.
- Visit different villagers each day to experience a variety of dialogues.
05 / THE GUIDE
Skill Development
Progression is tied to stickers gathered during the storyline. These stickers let you choose which skills—such as crafting, farming, or cooking—to level up, matching your preferred activities.
Choosing a skill line influences how efficiently related tasks are performed, giving you flexibility to focus on areas like baking, resource gathering, or crop production.
- Select a skill line early to notice its impact on related tasks.
- Mix skill upgrades later if you enjoy a broader range of farm activities.
