What is We Harvest Shadows?
We Harvest Shadowsis a first-person farming narrative game with additional horrifying aspects.

The game uses well-displayed horror themes, drawing inspiration from slow P.T.-stylepsychological horror gamesand Edith Finch-style personal first-person titles.
Gradually, the game showcases a terrifying vision that Garrett must save himself from.
The general atmosphere and story will bring you unease.
Story
The story revolves around the character Garret, who has experienced traumatic events in his life.
However, these events remain unrevealed to the players.
The house he lives in is in terrible condition.
You wake up in a dirty bedroom with rubbish everywhere and only a few pieces of furniture.
The downstairs part of it is just as unsettling.
But as the sun sets come evening and the gentle piano accompaniment sours, uncertainty creeps in.
It gets so cold at night that Garret has to wake up and walk around to warm himself up.
He considers it but never lets himself go.
Gameplay
The players main goal is to build the farm.
Use what youve earned to improve your home tools and vehicles.
As you unlock more tools, you uncover new paths.
The players focus is entirely on building, exploring, and protecting themselves from any threats.
You basically work through the day, crossing off chores from your to-do list.
But when night comes, lock the door and wait until you could sleep it off again.
It is not clear whether Garrets house is haunted or whether he simply imagines things.
