Coming Soon (ish): We Harvest Shadows

Developer: David Wehle

Publisher: David Wehle / TBA

Platforms: PC (Steam)

Release Date: 2027

This agri-sim/chore horror’s demo caused much interest back in 2024, yet while development has continued, progress has been slow. A recent update from its developer confirmed it continues as they attempt to refine everything beyond the game’s original remit.

The player is Garrett, a man looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and settle down in an old dilapidated farm.

Drawing from games such as PT and Edith Finch, We Harvest Shadows fosters a remarkably tense atmosphere, the beautiful scenery not quite so attractive once the sun goes down. The sounds of the local wildlife (and worse) take on a more macabre tone in the moonlight, too.

Garrett performs set tasks each day, selling goods and purchasing tools, medication and more via a convenient order book. Fail to complete the tasks, and weird things start to happen, as forewarned by an odd picture in the hallway of the farmhouse.

We Harvest Shadows’ demo is available on Steam. Here’s hoping we get to chop more trees and gather more eggs sometime next year.
