Mow Valley

Mow Valley is a free HTML5 simulation game you can play instantly in your browser.

Simulation games let you run something: a farm, a restaurant, a city, a vehicle, a shop. The pleasure is in the systems. You make a decision, watch the consequences unfold, and adjust. Sessions tend to be long and oddly peaceful, with bursts of activity when orders pile up or a day ends. There is rarely a game over, just a slow accumulation of progress and the occasional messy afternoon.

• Mouse to aim, click to act
• Arrow keys or WASD to move; Space to jump or confirm

1. 1Follow the opening prompts to learn the basic loop: what to collect, serve, build or drive, and what it earns you.
2. 2Watch the meters and counters at the top of the screen. They tell you what is running low or waiting.
3. 3Spend your first earnings on whatever speeds up the core loop, such as a faster tool or an extra station.
4. 4Set a small goal for each session, like finishing a day or reaching an upgrade, and stop when you hit it.

Mow Valley is for people who enjoy watching a plan come together slowly. It runs free in the browser with no download or account, and on the same device it often remembers where you were. Sessions can be as long or short as you like, and nothing is lost by leaving.

Suits players who like building, managing and tinkering, from older children to adults. Fans of farm, cooking, city and driving sims will recognise the rhythm. It is less suited to players who want constant action.

Does Mow Valley save my progress?

Often, in your browser on the device you used, since there is no account. Returning in the same browser usually continues. A different device starts over.

Is there a way to lose?

Rarely. Most simulation games let you fall behind on orders or run low on resources, but they do not end the game. The challenge is in efficiency rather than survival.

How long is a session?

As long as you want. Many players settle in for twenty or thirty minutes, but the game can be left at any time and resumed on the same device.
