Barn Yarn vs Verdant Skies
Barn Yarn
Barn Yarn is a fun hidden object/building game set in a dilapidated farm. In this game, you'll need to help Farmer Joe earn money by searching his newly-acquired, but rather run-down barn for old and unwanted things and sell them at a garage sale! With some money under his belt, he can renovate his barn so that it is habitable enough for his visiting grandson, Tom, next week. As you progress, you’ll not only be renovating, but also adding beautiful décor and even setting up coops and enclosures for a range of adorable farm animals! Enjoy watching Tom and Joe talk about a variety of things in a rather humorous way as well!If this is the sort of hybrid game that you think you'd enjoy, be sure to check out our other similar games.

Verdant Skies
Verdant Skies is an indie farm simulation/RPG combined with a pretty unique art style and visual novel-like dialogue choices. In this game, you play as the latest pioneer who was sent from Earth to a habitable alien planet whose main job is to set up and manage the farms at the colony, but of course, you are often asked to help out other characters with their tasks. You can also interact with the characters to increase your relationship level and eventually unlock new options such as being able to date them and start a family.Verdant Skies also features a straightforward gathering and crafting where every almost every action you take in this game will cost you time and/or energy. There's no need to restore the time you lost, but energy can be easily restored by consuming food. As a game that's very similar to Harvest Moon in essence, the game's farming aspect can be impressively in-depth, allowing you to splice the genes of your crops and your livestock to produce much more superior versions.
Verdant Skies is definitely the sort of game you'd want to check out if you've loved playing games like Harvest Moon, Staxel and even My Time at Portia. The game isn't too expensive either, considering the hours you can get out of it.
