Watch out, it's a horror game!  We're on Steam!

Arrow keys to move! F to plant carrots, E to open your inventory, Hold Space to water, Shift to sprint.

Use G for the upgrade menu!
R will select the next available crop in your inventory.
T inspects your currently equipped crop (while inventory is open).
Enter activates the chat. 
Escape will show the pause menu, where all the controls are laid out there too.

Watch out for the snatcher spotted about your farm! They hunger for carrots and blood. 

Also, watch out for the mothman who appears at night! He'll attack quite suddenly, so make sure you're able to sprint away! Strawberry seeds can be gotten at night too. If you see the mothman during the day… you’d better run!

Finally beware of the scarecrow, do not get too close them or they'll suddenly give chase! They'll stalk you from just out of your vision range and take small movements whilst visible.

This game has online multiplayer functionality! (The game is currently designed to connect to the EU, US or SA photon server so you may experience troubles if you're connecting from further away)

Hosting information:  The first person to join the farm is the host. If the host tabs out then the game will run very slowly. If you're the host, remember to keep the browser window in focus for everyone! If you notice the server running oddly slowly or laggy movement then it is likely that the server host has tabbed out and I would recommend making a new server.

Server Browser: A much requested server browser has been added! Now you can join any of the public servers or create your own servers. When trying to join a private server, have the host tell you the room name and enter it into the private server connect menu. You can now kick people and ban people in private servers (banning is only basic so please simply "close" the server if people are reconnecting, disallowing any new players from joining).

Please keep the chat friendly! If someone is not being friendly, you can use the mute option or hide the chat/speech bubbles entirely.

Anniversary update!: I started making Cryptid Farm in 2019, and it's been a whole year since I uploaded Cryptid Farm in 2020, thanks for playing! This update adds lots of useful quality of life features, like bonus animations, a dynamically moving camera, a short tutorial, and some moderation settings in the Player List.

Pre-steam update!: Taking this game up to par with my current build, enjoy this total experience upgrade whilst I continue to work on the Steam page. You can wishlist the game on Steam now here!

SINGLE PLAYER WITH SAVES ALSO A MODE WITHOUT MOSTERS

(+1)

found this.

secret party v2 :)

(+1)

very cool game
the first day I played this when Iwas sleeping I had a nightmare about tornadoes
the second day I played this I slept and had a nightmare about doppelgangers and demons
would recommend to friends who don't play this

(1 edit) (+1)

oh and I hallucinated the second day before I slept, it was a good sleep tho
edit : prolly because i got like 9 hours of sleep and stayed up longer then I usually do.

how fast does the snatcher go in the terms of player speed upgrades?

Interesting question, it's closer than I thought! A player with a sprint speed upgrade of 2.1 will move at the same speed as the snatcher (until they run out of breath 😱).

(+1)

is this a easter egg or did you forget to remove this

secret party :)

(+1)

also can u make like a single player mode that you can save? I want to grind lol

Would love to add save features at some point 😄

(+1)

this game is awesome

Thanks! 😄

(+1)

imagine if we got a mobile version of this XD

I could see the appeal of that 😄

(+1)

I can't wait for the fabled Goku update in 2049

(+1)

It's what the fans want

(+1)

A way to drop seeds or items would be great, the Christmas seeds in the update take over the inventory pretty quickly.

(+1)

Ooh I can take a look at that, thanks for the suggestion!

I notice a bug.

Hey there! If you could let me know a bit more about the bug you encountered then I can take a look at it :) 

(+1)

If u upgrade Sprint Speed to 5.0/5.1 and run near border u can get through it and stuck there. It's possible to get out but its hard. 

Ah thanks for letting me know!

(+1)

hi! love the game and been playing for a while. do you have any idea when itll be out on steam or atleast when youll be able to save progress?

much love!

(+1)

Ah thank you! :D I'm looking to release some point next year, hopefully earlier on, and hopefully with a working save feature x) I'm still working on the steam page these days and am excited to show everyone once it comes out!

(+1)

Hmm the mechanic is very similar to Pumpkin Panic, are you devs friends by any chance? 

Found this game by the Pumpkin Panic dev recommending this game on his/her twitter.

(11 edits)

Thanks for checking the game out! This game was up and in development for a while before Pumpkin Panic released. We spoke and they said they had enjoyed Cryptid Farm before, so we gave each other a shoutout on twitter so our audiences can enjoy both games :)

I love this game, its one me and my friends come back to every once in a while and it keeps getting better! But I wanna say how much I love the snatcher, its harmonica is genius design that fills you with the dread of knowing your crops are in extreme danger and the fear of the cryptid getting you. The heartracing feel the harmonica gives you as it grows closer is great. The snatcher is def my favorite out of the bunch.  (and hes the reason I had a side effect of getting startled every time I heard a harmonica in real life for a bit after playing)

Ahaha I'm glad you like it :D That harmonica sound is one of my favourites too, always puts the panic on!

(+1)

ive been playing this game for a while and GOD I LOVE THIS GAME  >:)

(+1)

Ah thank you :D

(+1)

I have a question , is it possible to save the game. starting from the beginning every time is quite a hussle

No save implemented yet, but it's definitely on the to-do list. It does suck to lose tons of progress when the game can last so long ahah.

(+1)

I play this Game daily , cant wait for further updates :D

Ah good to hear you're having a good time :D

(+1)

I love this game, played it since 2022

Ah thanks! 😄

(+1)

Loved your game. I had a good time playing with my friend! When is the game going to release on Steam?

Glad you had fun :D Looking to release on steam next year some time (hopefully)!

(+1)

Pretty good game.

Thanks!

Help

(+1)

(+1)

This game is really good, thanks for making classes go by easier lol

(+1)

I love this game!! i cant wait for more updates

(+3)

I have a new found fear of harmonicas and scarecrows, well done

(+1)

Decided to play this just to see what was up, ended up pulling an all-nighter with friends yesterday AND the day before that. This game rocks. Can't wait to see any further development and super stoked for the steam release. Fantastic job guys!!

(+1)

Just played this for an hour+ after saying "hey lets just try this out!"

BRAVO.  BRAVO.  

(+1)

I have now developed a fear of harmonicas

I love this game, its fun to play with friends, but could you make it so that there is more than one chracter to play as? Just wondering. This was a character design that I came up with, you can use it if you want

Thanks for the character design, I like the hair shape! Character customization is a solid idea and one I might add some day after the game is finished :)

... the snatcher managed to steal plants that were IN my house

edit: granted, this happened a few months ago

(+1)

i cried 

(+1)

It is very fun to play with friends!

Bug: When traveling very fast, sometimes I go through the collider and enter the black fog. 

Also my stamina is consumed when I press shift even if I'm not moving

(+1)

I absolutely love it!

(+1)

as a fan of cryptids and the harmonica I really enjoyed this game!
