❤ Gameplay Overview

Players take on the role of a horse ranch owner, blending relaxing, cozy elements with a progression-focused gameplay structure. The core loop revolves around acquiring, training, and breeding horses, participating in cross-country competitions, and expanding one's ranch through farming and upgrades.

❤ Raising and Training Horses

Players can purchase horses at an auction house, starting with a single steed and growing their herd over time. Each horse has various stats like speed, endurance, and flexibility that players can improve through training. This training takes place on trails, in dedicated arenas, and through specific courses that target individual stats. As horses gain experience and build trust, new training options and bonuses become available.

❤ Breeding Horses

A key part of progression is the breeding system. Players have a "fertility paddock" where they can pair horses to produce foals with desirable traits and stats. Foals are born after a set gestation period and can then undergo training from a young age, allowing players to cultivate their ideal herd.

❤ Cross-Country Competitions

The primary competitive element is participating in cross-country races and obstacle courses. As players progress, they can enter increasingly challenging events that require stronger, more well-trained horses. Winning these competitions earns money and unlocks new options. The races themselves test the player's horse handling skills, as they must navigate through courses with jumps, turns, and other obstacles while carefully managing the horse's energy levels.

❤ Expanding the Ranch

Outside of horse-related activities, players can grow crops and orchards to feed their herd, build new stalls and training facilities, and upgrade the overall look and functionality of their property. Interacting with the friendly townsfolk also provides opportunities for ranch improvements.
