The art style alone for Harvest Hunt does a great job of showing off how creepy the game will likely be. You have now donned the Warden’s mask. You must brave the desolate land of Luna Nova and the nearby farmlands. You are now in charge of protecting the villagers from the creatures that come to devour them. “Seal your fate each night by drawing cards, known as Whispers, to unlock otherworldly abilities and modifiers that may help or hinder you in your vigil, affecting both the environment and the Devourer stalking your every move.” All you have to do is survive five nights. While five nights doesn’t sound like much gameplay wise Harvest Hunt has a ‘Whispers’ system, which is tarot-inspired and endlessly varied. “Each cycle brings hundreds of gameplay permutations, ensuring no two journeys of the Warden are ever alike, each one a harrowing odyssey into the heart of fear.” Great, I’ll be able to jump-scare myself again and again.
If you can not wait to play Harvest Hunt, well, you’re in luck. A free demo is available on Steam right now. A full release will be out later in May.
