Quick answer

Fields of Mistria is a single-player farming and life-sim RPG by NPC Studio that combines farming, town rebuilding, relationships, magic, mining, fishing, crafting, and ruins combat.

At a glance

Fields of Mistria is a nostalgic farming and life-sim RPG developed and published by NPC Studio. You receive a neglected farm near Mistria after an earthquake damages the town. Rebuilding that farm is only one part of the job: helping villagers, completing town projects, exploring mines, learning magic, collecting museum items, and building relationships all feed the same long-term progression.

The game entered Early Access on August 6, 2024 and reached version 1.0 on August 5, 2026. The immediate 1.0.1 release is a crash-and-bug hotfix rather than a separate content expansion.

What you do

Build a farm and daily routine

Plant and water crops, raise animals, process materials, cook food, and improve the farm over time. Seasons change crops, forage, events, and villager outfits, so a useful plan balances immediate income against materials and collection goals.

Help rebuild Mistria

Quests, shipping, museum donations, Town Renown, and repair projects connect daily activities to the town's recovery. Version 1.0 completes the Town Repair Questline and raises Town Renown to 100 with the Mistril Town Rank event.

Explore, fight, and use magic

The mines combine ores, artifacts, fishing, monsters, and ancient ruins. Magic supports both farming and adventuring. Preparation matters: leave inventory room, bring food, use elevator checkpoints, and turn back before a late return becomes a forced end to the day.

Meet the town

The official overview lists more than 30 villagers and 12 marriage candidates. Relationships can lead to heart events, dates, ten-heart proposal events, marriage, and an optional family path in version 1.0. Players can also choose platonic routes.

Platforms and Steam features

As observed on August 6, 2026, the Steam store metadata lists Windows and Linux builds, single-player, full controller support, Steam Cloud, Family Sharing, and 69 Steam achievements. Steam Deck was marked Verified in the same platform snapshot.

There is a source mismatch worth preserving: the official FAQ still describes the current release as Windows PC with Steam Deck compatibility, while current Steam metadata includes Linux. Treat Linux availability as a dated Steam-store observation and check the live store before buying for a specific system. A macOS depot marked unused is not evidence of macOS support.

Languages

The 1.0 release introduced beta localizations for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish. The official FAQ described them as roughly 75 percent complete at launch, so they should not be treated as finished translations. Steam's app-details language field lagged behind this announcement in the August 6 snapshot.
