At the pre-show for Gamescom Opening Night Live, a trailer for an “anti-comfortable” horror farming sim was dropped, coming from solo developer David Wehle, called “We Harvest Shadows”.
Inspired by “slow-burn PT-style psychological horror games and Edith Finch-style personal first-person titles,” this title really seems to want to put Animal Crossing in its place, giving you a lever action rifle and a lamb to sacrifice. .
We’ve got the trailer here for you to check out, and see all that… baby head in a closet action for yourself.
So which platforms will We Harvest Shadows release on? From now on, only steam is confirmed, but this may change depending on the approach to release.
However, in another shock for most reveals, We Harvest Shadows dropped its demo along with its reveal, that means you can get hooked and enjoy the experience for yourself right now.
We even get some details about the game from the Steam page, like how it takes place in the Appalachian mountains, known for not being over-haunted at all, and how you’ll be able to upgrade and maintain your farm, buy new gear and vehicles, and even buy player upgrades. This is a narrative and building focused title, however, so survival elements are lighter than you’d find in most survival games. You even get a nice little daily to-do list that notably doesn’t include ‘return to civilization’, so that’s a shame for someone with as weak a constitution as I am.
You will play as “Garrett” who has decided to never see another person again because he thinks the world is “better off without him”. Sounds like a really fun little excursion, doesn’t it?
