- Harvest Hunt gets spooky free update, adding brutal new challenge mode - 23 October 2024
There's nothing quite like the sound of silence. In some ways, it's tranquil, but in others it's deafening. It's the one thing that the best survival horror games always get right - they force you to listen out for a rustle in the bushes, a twig snapping, an ominous rumbling. Harvest Hunt does all of that and more; the whisper of the corn, the splashing of water, the roar of The Devourer. One of my personal favorite indies of 2024, this under-loved gem just got a brand new update, and it's perfect for spooky season. Read the rest of the story...

- Harvest Hunt is now in French, German, Italian, Spanish, & Brazilian Portuguese! - 29 May 2024
Hello brave Wardens, Thank you so much to everybody who bought our game for release week! We've been busy working on our first updates and we're delighted to share a big one with you today. Harvest Hunt is now playable in French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese! We added a huge amount of lore to the game just before shipping and wanted to make sure that the translation quality was as good as possible before we launched - that is why it took longer than expected. Going forward, we're also working on Chinese and Japanese localisation and we'll have some more updates on that soon. As always, if you spot any bugs or any errors in the translations, please report them to us so we can address them quickly.

- You have been Chosen - 21 May 2024
Greetings Villains! As we count down the final hours until the release of Harvest Hunt, let's delve deeper into the artistic and musical roots that define the eerie essence of our dark folk survival horror game. ARTISTIC VISION Uriel Cordas the mastermind behind the game's visuals, drew heavily from the darkly enigmatic themes of European folk horror. His style merges the grotesque charm of folk traditions with innovative influences from modern film and gaming. Notably, the team were inspired by the animator Yuri Norstein for his distinctive lighting and texture, and the painter Ludwig Meidner for his bold ink use and distorted forms. Even modern games like Inscryption, with their striking colored lighting, have left their mark on our visual narrative.
