About Home By The River
Home By The River is an RPG where you build and manage your riverside home while cleaning up pollution through resource gathering, farming, and strategic construction. Enlist AI pioneers to help with harvesting and earn income through crops, solar panels, game development, and business ventures while keeping yourself fed, rested, and hidden from drones—all playable solo or in LAN co-op.

CLEAN POLLUTION
- Cut down dead trees.
- Remove trash.
- Plant new trees.
- Place solar panels.
- Establish wind farms.
- When you're filthy rich, build your clean reactor.
CREATE YOUR HOME
As you level up you'll gain more tiles that can be unlocked and placed in the world.
- Right click acts like a colour picker and can also swap to the Axe tool for quick harvesting.
- Alpha numeric keys allow you to quickly select a mode; delete, build, interact, inventory, foreground, props.
- You can left click drag build and delete for fast construction and deletion.
- Holding down left shift while constructing will immediately build a solid wall which is great for building faster.
FARM, HARVEST & COOK
- Plant corn, wheat, sugar, and trees.
- Sell the harvested crop or you can process them further for use in cooking.
- Let some trees grow to help reduce pollution and harvest some to sell their lumber. Do sustainable forestry.
YOUR STATS
- Hunger - you can't do anything if you're hungry so eat food.
- Energy - you can't do anything if you're tired, so get rest.
- Spirit - you can't do anything if you're depressed, so meditate.
- Hidden - your world will be demolished if you get found out so do keep away from the drones and destroy them.
- Experience - gain XP, level up so you get more tile types to build and more neat stuff to do.
- Virtue - defines how people react to you and your end game experience.
EARN INCOME
- Sell harvested crops to rivermen, or better, through a trading terminal when you're higher level.
- Collect sky nodes and get money, XP, and spirit.
- Make computer games, if you make a legendary one you will make tons of cash.
- Establish ventures in the background and let the passive income roll in.
- Build solar panels. Yes, you'll get income from your solar farm.
- Bail out businesses that are close to default. They'll take you on as a shareholder and give you dividends!
AND MUCH MORE
- Establish your underground lab, gain research points, unlock research cards and create clean reactor components that you'll donate to the world.
- Enlist pioneers who will help you achieve your objectives. Harvester pioneers will remove trash, cut down dead trees and harvest mature crops for you.
- Feed your super cat, change its colours, or give it a hat.
- Play single player or over LAN. Harvested resources are duplicated across the network so everyone benefits. Also you can place a chest in the world to share items or just store it in that world!
- Upgrade your hoverboard and fly!
- And more for you to experience.
Thanks for coming by!

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Oh, this game? This here is a surprisingly charming little project. It's a pretty cozy game: a bit of a mix of 2D farming sim and base builder, and it rolls with the concept pretty well. The art-style is a bit amateur, but it has a bright palette, and the simplicity of the graphics fits the nature of this game (and the sprite-work is still better than anything I've drawn recently, lol). Honestly, the environmental "hope-punk" theme was what sold me; being able to transform a withered, polluted land into a thriving green paradise? [i]And[/i] I can purge a corrupt megacorp at the same time? Sign me right up! My overall rating? 80/100. This is clearly someone's passion project, and I wanna see it succeed!7 found this helpful
It's a nice game, that's not overpriced. If you are okay with it being roughly 5 hours long to finish, then I recommend it.6 found this helpful
Genuinely cute game! I felt a little overwhelmed during the tutorial but luckily the grace period of learning before challenge comes is long enough that I was able to search through the menus and have a good handle on controls before any real challenge came along! Highly recommend!5 found this helpful
ui is just weird, and I should have checked the video in full screen, graphics are very bad :-) I will try the game some other day. For an indie game with these graphics I do feel the price is too high3 found this helpful
Graphics aren't good. UI is terrible.2 found this helpful
It is an average game, I finished my first map in 4 hours. Seeing it's an independent developer I think it's good. The mechanics (though with its problems, see below) are interesting and the objectives guide the game pretty well. Music is beautiful. There are some problems, the mechanics don't level up with you, I had to keep doing the same trades even at the end of the game to get the money necessary to keep advancing. I would have hoped that there was some kind of automatisation for that. I'm never too focused on personalisation of graphics (color of clothes,etc.) so that part of game doesn't add anything for me.1 found this helpful
