Wow, fantastic art! Makes me want to leave my job, pull a Stardew Valley, and move to the countryside right away. :)
Of course, the peaceful opening tone makes... the twist that much more radical and gripping.
I am ambivalent about the choice to speak about the player character in the third person. Most games would say "I" or "you." Saying "The Farmer" puts a little distance between the player and the player character.
well first, thanks for playing the game.
So, as i said in the credits, all the art in the game was generated from AI. art and music is about the one thing I have no idea how to do, and can't do myself. I did get some good results from the AI, though by making it all a single style (watercolor).
so, It was a conscious decision to not use first person when talking about the farmer. even though 'you' are controlling him, to some degree. The player knows more than the character, and the options you are given are most likely not what YOU the player would do in the situation. its more like watching a story unfold where you as the player don't really have that much sway on what happens. it was never meant to be a self-insert
