Fuggedaboutit Farm: Crops, Crime & Cousins in Cement Shoes

TL;DR

Stardew Valley, but your soul is collateral and the mob wants receipts.


Fuggedaboutit Farm is a chaotic mafia-farming fever dream, charming, stressful, mildly criminal, and exactly stupid enough to enjoy.


🎮 Want more chaotic crime games? Check our Crime Games Hub or grab a deal on crime titles:


Pixel-art scene inside a dim barn where three characters face a stern man in sunglasses standing near a blood-splattered pig on the floor. Hay bales, crates, and tools clutter the room. A dialogue box reads: “He owes me a lot of money… and you are going to work for me to pay off his debt…”

Freedom of Crime — Hoe Down or Shake Down?

Fuggedaboutit Farm pretends to be a farming sim, but underneath the cute pixel art lies the grim reality of being your brother’s financial body double. You’re basically a rural money-laundering intern with a hoe.


Instead of peaceful open-world freedom, you get 30 days of “make cash or get composted.” It’s capitalism with a gun under the tractor seat. Charming.


If you're looking for a pastoral sandbox, go elsewhere. If you want to roleplay as a stressed-out farmer one bad harvest away from fertilizing the grapevines yourself? Welcome home.



Criminal Fantasy Fulfillment — How Naughty Is the Soil?

Growing illegal crops? Delicious. Feeding pigs contraband so they become premium, crime-infused pork? Exquisite. Disposing of “big black bags” for the Family? That’s the criminal spa treatment we came for.


The game never confirms what’s inside the bags, but the vibration of guilt radiating from your monitor is unmistakable. You’re basically cleaning up after quests that happened in a better crime game.


Still: it scratches the itch of “what if Stardew Valley let you be a mafia accomplice instead of a small-town doormat?”



Mission Design — Capers or Chores?

Let’s be honest: most of your “missions” involve shoveling dirt, mining rocks, and carrying mystery bags the authorities absolutely won’t like if they break open.


There’s no Ocean’s Eleven moment here. It’s more like Ocean’s Eleven but George Clooney forgot to plan anything and you’re stuck washing produce in the back.


The 30-day timer keeps things frantic, but not always in a thrilling way; sometimes it’s more “I forgot to water my weed plants and now I’m going to die.”



Money & Progression — Profit or Proctology?

Earning money feels surprisingly tight, especially early on. The loop is clear:

  1. Plant crops

  2. Mine metal

  3. Craft tools

  4. Raise pigs

  5. Hope the mob accepts cabbage as currency


And yes, you can make wine and beer, which finally feels like a farming sim understands your emotional needs.


Progression works but it’s never explosive. More like slowly turning into a capitalist termite with a gun to your head.



World & Sandbox — Cute but Sterile

The pixel art is cozy, but the world itself doesn’t do much reacting to your illegal pursuits. You could be growing tomatoes or cocaine, and the landscape just shrugs like, “Yeah sure, haven’t slept since 1999 anyway.”


The cave is nice, but every mining trip feels like being sent down there by the Family as punishment for questioning the price of pig feed.


💸 Looking for games where crime pays better than farming? Dig into our guides while you’re hiding from Mr. Lancaster:


Crew & NPCs — Smokey Is Not Your Guy

NPCs are functional, not memorable. Smokey sells seeds like he’s been awake for 3 days on cold brew and fear. The pigs have more personality than most humanoids, which might be intentional given the criminal theme.


There’s no crew banter, no henchmen, no eccentric mid-boss psycho. It’s just you, the pigs, and whatever is in those bags.



Police & Law Response — Suspiciously Missing

For a game about crime, law enforcement is… absent. Like they took one look at the farm, the pigs, the caves, the “don’t ask” bags, and collectively decided:

“Nope.”


This means crime lacks consequences. Fun, yes, but less thrilling. Still better than GTA cops with psychic GPS, though.



Style & Atmosphere — Hillbilly Noir

Tonally, it’s Stardew Valley after a night sniffing gasoline behind the barn. A strange blend of wholesome sprites and “dispose of the evidence, kid,” creating a unique hillbilly-noir vibe.


The music is fine, nothing iconic. The art sells the charm. The crime sells the ticket.



Replayability — One More Run or One More Therapy Bill?

Runs are short and pressure-cooked. You will feel compelled to try again to “beat the debt,” like an emotionally damaged gambler in pixel form.


But after two or three cycles, you’ve seen the full criminal pantry. Good for short bursts, not endless addiction.



Multiplayer — N/A

No multiplayer. Probably for the best. If two players had access to the same pigs and illegal crops, society would crumble.

About the Editor
Naamloos3.png

I'm Niels Gys, founder and editor of CRIMENET GAZETTE. I write about crime, heist, villain, and horror games because somebody has to separate genuine criminal masterpieces from games that couldn't organize a successful mugging.

​

​Outside the website, I'm the frontman of JETBLACK SMILE, a Belgian rock 'n' roll band that sounds like bad decisions played through loud guitars. Turns out writing about chaos, criminals, and morally questionable life choices isn't all that different from writing songs.

​

I started CRIMENET because too much gaming coverage feels afraid to have an opinion. Reviews become press releases, every game is "solid," and somehow everyone leaves happy except the reader.

​

Not here.

​

CRIMENET covers crime, heist, villain and horror games, with GTA Online as one of our main ongoing beats. Not the heroic kind. The kind where you rob banks, build empires, betray your crew, or become the monster everyone else is trying to survive.​

​

I don't do review scores. The internet already has enough people arguing whether a game deserves a 72 instead of a 71, like they're negotiating a hostage release over a single percentage point. I'd rather tell you what the game actually feels like to play and whether it's worth your time.

​

Every article is built on research, evidence, and an unhealthy intolerance for mediocre game design.

 

Strong opinions are welcome. Invented facts are not.

​

Think less "trusted reviewer."

​

More "your inside man in the digital underworld."

​

I'm not here to save the world.

​

I'm here to tell you which crimes are worth committing. 🤘
