No tutorial, have to figure things out. (I still don't know what the shovel is for)
I initially didn't like it after 40 minutes of game play. It's a silent game. After spending more time on it, it grew on me.
Reminded me of a watered down Stardew valley with a empty village.
Lots of right clicking on everything to see if it does anything.
ALT+F4 to exit.
Crops start to spoil the next day, need to be sold or used. Some give you energy back. Not all crops have to be replanted.
Crafting options.
Manual watering only.
Large map with a cave with skeletons in it.
It's totally free with no micro transactions.
Not the worst game nor the best game, more of a neutral rating.
But overall I liked it oddly.

I actually really liked this little demo, trying to figure it out without a tutorial did drive me a little insane. It took me a while to figure out how to equip and use tools and other things from the toolbar..........what you cant do with left click, right click will likely do it haha. I spent 10ish minutes before using the right click button to finally do the things I wanted to do. This was lovely and I enjoyed the art style, cute little game exactly what I like in a game, I also would like tasks or goals to do.

Farming Engine was pretty fun, spent about two and a half hours playing. I think it's pretty charming for what it is. As many other reviewers have said, there isn't a tutorial, and I still honestly don't know what the shovel is for, but everything else makes sense for the most part. I'm a huge fan of just, mindless farming in games, which, Farming Engine provides. Earning money is pretty easy to do, so you don't get stuck needing more crops or supplies. That, and there's also a few different places to explore.
It's very easy to tell that the game itself isn't done. The main town has only two npcs, in which one sells seeds, and the other sells livestock. There's some skeletons to fight, but the game doesn't tell you this at all. As for navigation to these towns, some signs point to where to go, but not all of them have text. There isn't any sound and the menu feels very incomplete, but over all, its easy to move past these disadvantages. Once you've gone places at least once and seen where things are, or simply just learn how to do things, they're simple enough to stick.
I'd say that, for a free game, even in its incomplete state, it's still very pleasant. It almost gives me the same feelings that super early versions of minecraft did: clearly a work in progress, but relaxing. It even works well on my laptop, which, doesn't always run very well. I'm pretty sure it could run on a potato.
I'd say its worth a play, even if not for long. You're really not going to lose anything by playing it, after all. It's a good game for those who don't want to pay for Stardew Valley, just as long as you only really intend to farm and not really talk to npcs.
Edit: Apparently this game is a demo of Indie Marc's Assets on the Unity Store. This explains the incompleteness, as it doesn't appear to be meant to be a stand alone game. Even so, everything I said before still stands. It's a pleasant way to spend your time, and perhaps even a good starting point for something else.

Lots of fun! There is no tutorial so you will have to try things out on your won to learn. Reminds me a bit of Don't Starve, in some of the mechanics. But Stardew is also an influence I think.
Fun free game, worth the play if your on a budget.

I played for a couple of hours and the game could use more content or quests. The length of how items expire is way to short.
Also, I'd like to request an option to change the controls.
