Now, your harvest sprites will automatically plant that type of seed.

- Dev Diary: Concept vs. Pixel Art - 26 June 2026
We wanted to give you a peek inside the development process of how we created the characters in Petunia's Purgatory. For each character, we shared our ideas with our concept artist Emmy, and she took our ideas and turned them into a digital sketch of each character. Then, our pixel artist Alex took each sketch and used it to create a pixel art version of the character and animated each character. Here is what each of the characters looked like as a concept and the final pixel art! Petunia: Water Sprite: Harvest Sprite: Flower Sprite: Crafting Sprite: Blood Harvester: Do you have a favorite?

- Meet the Sprites - 19 June 2026
Howdy! Dead Possum Games here to introduce you to the supporting cast of Petunia's Purgatory: The Sprites!The Elder One's hunger is never-ending and Petunia will need help fulfilling all of his orders. Luckily, you'll be able to summon some helpers to assist her.The Water SpriteA gentle, translucent being made of pure spring water, the Water Sprite is the perfect assistant to keep your crops well hydrated. You may wonder how she can water plants without a watering can... but it's probably better if you don't think about it too hard.The Harvest SpriteAt first glance, you might assume that this little critter is just a squirrel, but looking closer you may have doubts. Maybe it's the odd horns on its head or its unsettling red eyes. Regardless, the Harvest Sprite is great at picking up crops and carrying them around, not unlike the rodent it resembles.The Blood SpriteSome of the crops that…

- Meet Petunia! - 12 June 2026
Hello, this is Dead Possum Games. We'd like to introduce you to the main character of Petunia's Purgatory, and tell you a little bit about how she ended up living on this strange farm. Petunia Buttonwillow was tired of taking orders. While working at the Forde Brothers ad agency, she had to take orders from everyone: her clients, her boss, her boss' boss, and on and on. One day, after coming home from a stressful day in the office, she spotted a bankruptcy auction for a quaint little farm in nearby Dunwich. She'd always been good with plants, and it felt like the universe was giving her a sign that it was time to take control of her life. Petunia arrived at the courthouse for the auction and found that, besides some scattered locals, she was the only one there. The locals eyed her curiously when she was the only one to bid on the farm, and she got it for next to nothing. The auctioneer…
- Twitch Integration Added - 28 May 2026
Happy May from the Petunia's Purgatory team! We're hard at work developing the final features for Petunia's Purgatory. We recently added a Twitch integration that will be available in the full game at launch. The Twitch integration will allow streamers to let their viewers join in the game as a helper with their Twitch username above their head. The helper will either water plants, harvest crops, tend flowers, sacrifice animals, or manage crafting machines. If you stream on Twitch and would like to help beta test the integration, please send us an email at [email protected] Stay tuned for more updates coming soon!
- Content Complete + New Steam Page Artwork! - 15 April 2026
We're excited to announce that our team has reached the Content Complete milestone. You might be wondering what it means for a game to be content complete? It means that everything we've been planning to be in the game can actually be played. This is huge step towards releasing the game! What's left for us to do: final testing and bug fixing, writing the rest of the text, and then getting the text translated and testing the translated versions. The finish line is in sight! We also recently updated the artwork on our Steam page with wonderful new illustrations by our talented artist Brenda. Got any feedback? Join our Discord! We'd love to chat.
