Reviewed by David Whyld
Amusing little adult interactive fiction game with the
emphasis more on the puzzle-solving and less on the sexual aspects that more
than often bog down this genre. A limited parser and some guess the verb issues
aside, this was well worth playing although the subject matter is unlikely to
appeal to everyone.

The farmer's daughter is the eternal complement to the
travelling salesman in American folklore and humour, practically Jungian
archetypes licking their lips and circling each other warily while trying to
figure out how to avoid the shotgun wedding neither party wants their
hot-blooded fling to result in.
Your car broken down near a farm in the middle of nowhere, now you are thrust
into the joke and things are a lot less funny when it's your ass on the line.
Not only do you have to navigate around the ornery farmer and his itchy
broomstick finger, but your travails are complicated by elements hitherto
untapped in the shaggiest dog telling of the joke -- two inbred hick brothers
straight out of Deliverance and a mean farm dog with an appetite for sausage.
All that plus you're working against the clock, the minutes ticking away until
the garage comes to tow your vehicle and remove you from this den of the
dangerous temptation you can't quite permit yourself to forego.
Fortunately, the farm is full of nooks and crannies, well-stocked with all the
objects you will need to use to distract or disable your obstructing
antagonists... unfortunately, coordinating their movements will prove such a
labyrinthine process that the game player is guaranteed to die a dozen deaths
before eventually determining the convoluted route to this joke's eternal punch
line.
