The Headlands
A meditative farming strategy in the early 2000s: your home village and the machines you remember from childhood. Revive a run-down farm, trade on a living market, run production chains, take on your neighbours' contracts and grow your fleet — from small tractors to combines.

“Screenshots make it look like a low-poly farming simulator clone which it isn't - you don't get to walk around or drive the vehicles, instead the controls are more of a mobile game - you select a field, an action you want your tractor to do on it, and that's pretty much it.…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“The Headlands has completely hooked me with its old machinery, late-90s setting and surprisingly deep farming mechanics. It's still Early Access, but I've already had an absolute blast with it and can't wait to see where it goes.”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“I really enjoyed this game a lot, a real game to get lost in with easy mechanics and cozy graphics, the only thing I HATED was the use of Ai to generate images for the game, I don't support using ai for creative projects like games, but other than the ai, it was good.”
