Moneyless Harvest Moon-type game? (beehaw.org)

I have such a love/hate relationship with Stardew Valley, slightly less so with My Time At Portia (the developers seem to have at least considered wrist strain in the button layout and mechanics). I long for a moneyless, classless game in this genre where the incentives are community thriving, trust, pleasure, and all the other aspects that make life worth worth living outside of capitalism. Does that game exist?

This is a tankie nightmare. I'm a border control agent? And if I fuck up my wages are reduced? Seems like you answered the opposite of my question

It's an extremely bizarre suggestion given your request. I do want to defend the game (though not the suggestion) a little though.

It initially presents as you say, but offers you opportunities to fight back in your capacity as border control. Letting in the right people can help the resistance and incite a coup, or enable you and your families escape from the country. It isn't just Be A Good Tankie Simulator 2013, though you can play it that way too.

I also love this game. It's just fun to play.

Great game, but what a wild recommendation for this specific request...
