Good work on the jam! I like the concept of a Punjabi father being motivated by his own nostalgia for the now-lost animals he grew up hearing to turn his farm into an oasis, and the bit I was able to play set this up very well. The book of species is a nice touch to guide the player's farm while linking it to real life information and practices. Unfortunately, I couldn't progress past the introduction as I couldn't get any of the farming mechanics working, but I would be interested in seeing more and I think you may be wrong about it only being enjoyable in the setting of the jam—farming sims like Stardew Valley are incredibly popular, and you've chosen a more unique setting than most.
Sorry to hear the development was a bit of a nightmare and came at an inopportune time for you personally; I do think you should be proud of what you've managed to submit despite that. Hopefully despite the stress you found it creatively fulfilling!
