UFO Farm

If Aliens Existed, How Would They Perceive Earth’s “Agriculture”?

​

In this game, you play as an alien who admires Earth’s farmers. You’ll collect the planet’s plants and animals, fuse them into hybrid creatures—“Chimeras”—and build a Chimera farm on your home planet. The game features a custom UFO-shaped controller.

​

This project was made from a game jam collaboration between USC and Tokyo University of the Arts, where we experienced each other’s institutions as “foreigners.” This unique exchange gave us fresh perspectives, showing how small differences in understanding—like Aliens—can lead to unexpected discoveries. Exhibited at Geidai Games Expo in Tokyo.
