Sun Haven is a farm sim video game where players can farm, fish, mine, combat and romance NPCs, similar to ''Stardew Valley'' and ''[[My Time at Sandrock]]''. Players start off with a cutscene with Lynn, and then move on to the train. A blackout then occurs on board the train with all the lights going out. Once the player arrives in the town of Sun Haven, they would then have the option of placing their house anywhere on their farm. Players even have the option to marry Lucia, the leader of Sun Haven. Unlike many other farm sims, this one doesn't have stamina. In addition to Sun Haven, this game features three other towns. |
