Gentle, pastoral loops and seasonal ambient textures from a tiny farming game. Hippoboar Rancher is a 2020 Windows indie title, and the soundtrack is small, quiet, and completely charming.

"Forest (Winter)" strips things back to something colder and more sparse. The beta versions of BGM1 through BGM3 are included too, so you can hear where the sound started before it was finished. "かばいの牧場 ~効果音アンサンブル~" closes the album as a sound effect ensemble, literally the ranch ambiance turned into a composition.
Eleven tracks total, all breathing room. If you want the coziest possible farming game vibes without actually having to manage any livestock, press play.
