Greetings Villains

We’re bringing our unique brand of darkness to the Steam Summer Sale. From today until July 11th, 10 AM PDT, get 20% off and lose yourself in a world woven with ancient European folklore and suffocating curses.

THOSE SUMMER NIGHTS

"Harvest Hunt is packed with old European folklore, the kind people used to tell their kids to keep them from running off alone into the woods" - PCGamesN

Navigate the oppressive atmosphere of Luna Nova, reap the harrowing harvest, and evade the relentless Devourer. With haunting soundscapes, graphic novel-esque visuals, and inventive Whisper card mechanics, this roguelite is a must-play for fans of folk survival horror and strategic, asymmetrical gameplay.

“It's a world that makes you feel unwelcome and disoriented, adding a compelling creepiness to a game with a relatively simple gameplay loop.” - GameSpot

Hello brave Wardens,

Thank you so much to everybody who bought our game for release week! We've been busy working on our first updates and we're delighted to share a big one with you today.

[h3]Harvest Hunt is now playable in French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese![/h3]

We added a huge amount of lore to the game just before shipping and wanted to make sure that the translation quality was as good as possible before we launched - that is why it took longer than expected.

Going forward, we're also working on Chinese and Japanese localisation and we'll have some more updates on that soon.

As always, if you spot any bugs or any errors in the translations, please report them to us so we can address them quickly.

[h2]UPDATES v1.2.1[/h2]
[h3]Gameplay[/h3]

• When dashing the footstep sound the player makes will now be a walking and not a running footstep, therefore not alerting Sound Fiends on dash
  
• Increased the sight distance values of the Devourer when the player is hiding in the cornfields
  

[h3]Assets[/h3]

• Adjusted water reflection colors to not look green and be confused with the poisoned water (which is green)
  
• Added missing effects to Proxy Poppet when it's not available to use
  

[h3]Misc[/h3]

• Updated credits
  

[h2]BUG FIXES[/h2]
[h3]Monster[/h3]

• Fixed cases where the Devourer would get stuck for a few seconds or not move at all
  
• Fixed cases where the Devourer wouldn't receive damage when attacked with Tools
  
• Fixed the Devourer not playing their emerge animation if the player were shining the lantern on them
  

[h3]Gameplay[/h3]

• Spare Mask Whisper would sometimes not work due to initialization issues which are now fixed

Hello Wardens,

Harvest Hunt launched yesterday and it’s been such a thrill to see people facing off against the Devourer. We hope the Whispers have been kind to you so far.

Now the game is launched, this mighty team of 3 is focused on quality of life improvements and our first major update. We’re excited to share our initial roadmap with you. These are by no means the only upadtes we are planning, but certainly the most imminent.

[h3]ROADMAP[/h3]


Localisation
We’re currently finalising QA on the inclusion of German, French, Spanish, Italian and Brazilian Portuguese - expect that to roll out on Wednesday 29th - next week. There's a lot of lore to translate!

We are also working on a couple more languages including Japanese and Chinese, but they need more QA time and we hope to have a timeframe for you on that soon.

Achievements
The eagle-eyed amongst you will have spotted the achievement images in our game code. We’ve encountered a bug that we are working on, but achievements are coming soon.

Bug Fixes
We’d love to hear more about what you’re hoping to see from us and of course please report any issues or bugs to us so we can address them swiftly.

[h3]PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW[/h3]

Reviews are so important here on Steam. They feed the mysterious algorithm, and the feedback helps us plan future fixes, changes and new features. Please consider leaving one and thank you to everyone who has already left their thoughts, we really appreciate the time you took to play and share them with us.
