CLEAR SKIES

A Pygame, Stardew Valley-type Farming & Village simulator, where you can farm, interact with villagers, and survive disaster scenarios that constantly hit the village. The game is built for a study by the University of Zurich psychology department, to see how people react to simulated disasters hitting a village that they have grown attachment to.
