My initial impressions on this one are actually really positive . This game count like some really fucking good playfulness , and considering the developer is solo , that ’s quite the feat indeed . The art direction looks gnarly too , with that weird … horse man wolf come out from the shadows pay me a spot more of a shock than I ’d normally like to admit .

What is We Harvest Shadows?

We Harvest Shadows is asurvival horrorfarming sim , which is … quite the combination indeed .

Inspired by " tedious - burn   P.T.-style psychological horror game and   Edith Finch - stylus personal first - mortal titles " , this title really seems to want to put Animal Crossing in its place by give you a lever tumbler natural action rifle and a lamb to sacrifice .

We even get a few detail about the secret plan from the Steam pageboy , like how it ’s set in the Appalachian mountains , notorious for being not super haunted at all , and how you ’ll be able-bodied to upgrade and sustain your farmstead , buy novel tools and vehicles , and even corrupt participant upgrade . This is a narrative and ramp up focused deed of conveyance , though , so survival of the fittest element are lighter than you ’d find in most survival of the fittest games . You even get a lovely piddling daily to - do list , which notably does not admit ' repay to civilization ' , so that ’s a shame for someone with as weak a composition as me .

You ’ll be playing as ' Garrett ' , who has decided to never see another somebody again , because he thinks the earth is ' better without him ' . vocalise like a really cheery trivial jaunt , no ?
