Watch On
In case yesterday’s spooky Stardew-like sport wasn’t sufficient for you, don’t fret, there’s one other one. Grave Seasons can be a cute farming sim the place you begin placing down roots within the countryside, courting round, and—wait, maintain on—discovering out that there is been a streak of murders on the town. You already know, like small city farmers do each Tuesday.
I used to be psyched by the idea of Grave Seasons once I first heard about it however on the time you principally needed to log on via the artistic director’s posts to be taught something about it. As of this week, Grave Seasons has a correct trailer and a shiny new Steam web page that has, nicely, slightly extra info on it at the very least.
“You escaped jail and managed to make it to Ashenridge, however at what value?” says developer Excellent Rubbish on the shop web page, which is a hell of a backstory in comparison with the standard inheriting property from a relative bit that farm sims do. “Construct your farm, fish and mine, and discover the unknowns of a wierd, historical city all whereas romancing the secretive native townsfolk. Simply be sure you cease the supernatural murders earlier than it’s too late in Grave Seasons, an all-new homicide thriller farming sim RPG!”
The trailer up above actually will get the horror vibes throughout with some type of shadowy supernatural assault by the sunshine of a streetlamp and a really bloody sufferer getting dragged deep into the woods. As a substitute of just a few regular human assassin it looks like Ashenridge is house to some type of werebeast killer. I joked final yr that it appeared just like the farm sim model of Werewolf to me and I could have been extra proper than anticipated.
Oh, and for an additional twist: you may by chance romance the killer earlier than you determine who it’s. Or perhaps you may do it on objective, only a thought.
In some now deleted posts, artistic director Son M had beforehand described some randomization in who the killer can be every time you start a sport. The brand new retailer web page does not reference that component although, so finest to attend and see if it is nonetheless on the desk.
Excellent Rubbish remains to be referring to Grave Seasons as in “early improvement” so there is no launch date but, however you may comply with and wishlist it on Steam to get updates as an alternative of trawling via clues on social media. If you happen to do wish to do some digging although, you’ll find the studio posting introduction movies to Grave Seasons’ characters on TikTok.
