- Players inherit a farm while escaping prison in a town with secrets.
- The game features randomized killers and occult elements.
Grave Seasons, an upcoming supernatural farm simulation game from Blumhouse Games, introduces a unique 'unhomely' concept, blending cozy farming mechanics with a paranormal murder mystery. The game, demoed during Summer Game Fest, centers on a player character who inherits a farm after escaping prison, arriving in the town of Ashenridge.
Upon arrival, players discover occult paraphernalia in their inherited farmhouse, hinting at dark secrets within the town. Gameplay involves familiar farming activities like planting crops, but also includes harvesting less benevolent wild plants and uncovering the mystery surrounding a strange machine in the basement. The game aims to create a sense of unease despite its cheerful aesthetics.
Grave Seasons subverts the typical cozy game 'home' trope by presenting an outsider's perspective, where residents have hidden secrets. The narrative and gameplay combine elements of familiarity with a dark undertone, creating a compelling experience. The game is scheduled to launch on August 14 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S.
