Watch On
In case yesterday’s spooky Stardew-like recreation 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 understand, like small city farmers do each Tuesday.
I used to be psyched by the idea of Grave Seasons after I first heard about it however on the time you mainly needed to log on by means of 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 data on it not less than.
“You escaped jail and managed to make it to Ashenridge, however at what price?” says developer Good Rubbish on the shop web page, which is a hell of a backstory in comparison with the same old inheriting property from a relative bit that farm sims do. “Construct your farm, fish and mine, and discover the unknowns of a wierd, historic city all whereas romancing the secretive native townsfolk. Simply ensure 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 form 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 residence to some form 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 one more twist: you may unintentionally romance the killer earlier than you determine who it’s. Or possibly you may do it on function, only a thought.
In some now deleted posts, artistic director Son M had beforehand described some randomization in who the killer could be every time you start a recreation. The brand new retailer web page does not reference that factor although, so greatest to attend and see if it is nonetheless on the desk.
Good Rubbish remains to be referring to Grave Seasons as in “early improvement” so there isn’t any launch date but, however you possibly can observe and wishlist it on Steam to get updates as an alternative of trawling by means of clues on social media. In case you do need to perform a little digging although, you’ll find the studio posting introduction movies to Grave Seasons’ characters on TikTok.
