Andy's Apple Farm 4.0

A retro-styled game about beta-testing a farm game

Andy's Apple Farm is a horror game in which the player takes on the role of a beta tester who is testing a retro-styled game about farming. The player's job is to look for bugs in the game, though things soon start to take a sinister turn. The game's pixel art visuals are accompanied by an old CRT screen effect.

This game combines some gameplay elements that have become quite popular in horror genres. These include a retro style used by games similar to Mr. Hopp’s Playhous 2, as well as meta elements, like the player using a computer to control a character using a computer, as seen in Eyes - The Horror Game.

Become a beta tester for a retro game

The premise of Andy's Apple Farm sees the player become a beta tester for a game about farming. The game is styled after games from the 1980s, typical of those found on the Atari 2600, and is even wrapped in a CRT screen filter to give the impression that it is being played on a TV from that time period.

Play the game, uncover the secrets

As the player beta tests the game, they uncover many glitches, and the true nature of the story behind the game starts to unravel. The player must continue to uncover the glitches to find all the secrets, with multiple playthroughs required to find everything.

An interesting but not that scary horror game

Andy's Apple Farm has received a mostly positive reception from players, largely for its concept and immersive gameplay. One criticism it has faced is that it is not that scary for a horror game.
