A downloadable Roguelike-tabletop for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

You and your friends are MECH farmers. farmers in MECH suits, who can tend to their crops, as well as they can tend to anyone wise enough to try and steal from you.

hired by MEGA CORP., you are being shipped out to a planet known as Teraeroponica, to farm Maize crops, and make a quick fortune. but Teraeroponica will not make it easy. Armed with this guidebook, your own MECH, and your fellow farmers,  do you all have what it takes to survive a month on this place?

this game still needs art and has yet to be fully tested. there are more then likely a lot of linguistic errors I still need to correct, and I intend to have a professional look over my formatting, to see if there's a better way to lay out the pages. 

TLDR, this game is not "complete". but it IS playable. as such, I will never ask for money for this game until it is complete. However, I would really appreciate any feedback that you'd be willing to give. I did my best to try and be as clear as possible for the instructions, so some things may seem repetitive, and redundant in parts and I apologize for that.  [ignore anything in brackets. they are placeholder reminders for future art for the game]

game modes suited for 1-3 players OR 4-6 players (see p.34)

Special thanks to  the podcast Peicemeal podcast (https://twitter.com/mealpiece) as well as the Games We Play In Dreams game jam (https://itch.io/jam/games-we-play-in-dreams) as this game would have never been made without their influence.

this game also takes major inspiration from the game system, Powered by the Apocalypse. more specifically the games Monster of the week (https://startplaying.games/play/monster-of-the-week), and Punch Idiots Save the World here on Itch. If you have fun with this game, please go and check these games out as well
