Moneyless Harvest Moon-type game? (self.gaming)

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?

I think Sim Ant technically meets these conditions.

Amazing, I'll check it out

Edit: Oh wow 1991! Won some awards back then, too 🐜

You can download it here: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/250/SimAnt+-+The+Electronic+Ant+Colony.html You'll need DosBox or some other emulator to run it
