No Place Like Home is a post-apocalyptic farm sim game that takes place on a trashed planet Earth. You play as Ellen Newland a young woman who lives on the Mars Colony. She’s visiting Earth to see her grandfather but finds him missing and his farm destroyed. You’ll need to clean up his farm, the surrounding areas and make the Earth a better place to bring your gradfather home safe!
Just like most farming sims, No Place Like Home has all the hallmarks of the games typical to the genre. Such as being able to plant crops, cook and tend to the animals. Once you’ve gained their trust and taken good care of them, you can be sure that they will return the favour.
Then for my favourite part, give your animals some hat and throw a party! There are 9 different types of animals you can tame and house on your farm. Each of them have particular housing requirements and needs. Here’s everything you need to know about the animals and their care in No Place Like Home.
