About The Stillness of the Wind

One by one, everyone left the once bustling village for the city. Everyone, except Talma. Now approaching the end of her days, she maintains a simple, solitary way of life, surviving, subsisting, tending to her homestead and her goats.

Develop your own personal routine as you care for your farm and your animals. Tend to your goats, make cheese with their milk, collect eggs and cook meals, grow vegetables and barter with the travelling merchant who brings increasingly disturbing letters from your family in the city.

A follow up to the critically acclaimed Where the Goats Are, The Stillness of the Wind is a quiet rumination on life and loss.

I’m entertained but confused

I really enjoyed this game, so much that I’ll probably play it a third and a fourth time. That said, I was left with a lot of questions by the end. What I liked: The farming and trading elements were a highlight for me. They’re intentionally slow-paced, which fits the story well. You can’t possibly get everything done in a single day, so you have to manage your energy and resources carefully. Talma’s family history adds to the increasingly gloomy/spooky atmosphere on the farm. Digging into her memories, letters, and artifacts was especially engaging as it felt like piecing together a mystery. What I didn’t like as much: I just wish I understood more of her story. How do the folks in her letters connect to her dreams or her associations with certain items? I want the full story! What’s up with the artifacts? And those special items from the merchant (“this is no ordinary rock”) - what do they mean? I felt like I was only beginning to unravel her unsolved spooky family trauma and was ready to confront some spirits… and then the game was suddenly over :(

Not your average farming sim

The other reviews entirely missed the point of this game. This is not a min-max millionaire farming sim, there is no winning, and you won’t be some capital tycoon lol. This is a game where you are an isolated, elderly woman who is struggling to keep her childhood homestead alive, despite being the last of “14 pairs of shoes by the front door.” This is primarily a story based game with some farming elements and very necessary inventory management- literally the reality for people in poverty. Yes, Talma moves slow, and yes, you can’t get a lot done in a day, especially when the days get shorter. That’s intentional. Every move she makes counts, because her time isn’t infinite, unlike most farm sims. This game is so beautiful and intentional and haunting, and yes it’s worth $5?? It’s worth far more than a cup of coffee. How insane to say that getting 3 hours of beautiful graphics and storyline is not worth $5
