Harvestella
Farming sim fans might want to put apocalyptic farming and role-playing game Harvestella, out on November 4 but now available for pre-purchase on Steam, on the anticipatory calendars in their hearts.
I never really want to get my hopes up for a game before I play it, but it’s hard not to get excited for what seems to be a story-heavy farming game with beautiful graphics and magical creatures. The game’s Steam description notes that its world is plagued by the Quietus (not to be confused with our world’s The Quietus, a very nice music site), a “season of death that visits with the changing of the seasons. Plants wither. People cannot even walk around outside, due to the dust of death that fills the air,” but the land is fertile enough to produce what Kotaku writer Ethan Gach identifies as “horny produce,” so it can’t be so bad.
