Fields of Mistria is an upcoming farm life simulation role-playing video game developed and published by NPC Studio.

In the indie game, the player resides in the fictional town of Mistria, which is recovering from an earthquake and socializes with its villagers of diverse backgrounds.

Upon its early access release, the game received praise for its writing, characters, mechanics, art style, and music.

Fields of Mistria is a single-player farm life simulation and cozy video game with pixel art-styled graphics and anime-inspired character designs.

[5][6][7] At the beginning of the game, the player creates a character who spawns in the fictional town of Mistria, which is attempting to recover after a devastating earthquake.

[1] Fields of Mistria allows the player from the beginning to customize their character, including their name, birthday, and pronouns,[11] as well as the farm and house.

[15] The player can donate items to the town's museum, including various types of flora, insects, archaeological artifacts, and fish.

[1][17][20] Mana, unlocked later in the game, allows the player to cast healing and energy spells, as well as instantly grow crops or summon rain.

[1][22][27] Claire Belton and Andrew Duff, the game's co-directors and designers, had previously worked on the Pusheen cat character for their web comic Everyday Cute.

[28] Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, Story of Seasons, Animal Crossing, and Stardew Valley all served as inspiration for their video game.

[29] The developer unveiled the game's trailer in June 2023 at the Wholesome Direct, with Toby Fox being its guest composer.

[9] Brittany Alva of TechRaptor said that the game "stands out like a light at the end of a tunnel" in the farm life simulation genre.

[a] The feature that has all inhabitants socialize inside an inn every Friday, encouraging the player to join them, was commended by reviewers.

[24] Nolan felt that the game's farming, mining, combat, and fishing aspects were superior to those in Stardew Valley.

[45] Additionally, the developer of Critter Cove, an Animal Crossing-like simulation game, saw the similarities positively, saying that "you probably wouldn't have Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow without Dragon Quest V".
