About Harvest Hunt
Harvest Hunt is a single player, first-person survival horror game with a blend of rogue-lite elements, where every run is asking you to adapt in different ways in order to survive. Experience a dark folk-horror tale of a cursed village set in a suffocating atmosphere filled with dread, within the beautifully painterly rendered village of Luna Nova.
Ambrosia, the precious resource scattered around the cornfields, grows in strange ways and the hunger for it is strong. During the night, enter the cursed land of Luna Nova and harvest Ambrosia to keep your village alive. But beware, the Devourer is prowling the fields and is tainting it. In a race against the clock, turn off your lantern to sneak and hide, or fight and banish the Devourer for a bigger reward.
Tentacle creatures, poisoned waters and other dangerous calamities plague Luna Nova. But there is still hope. During the day, experience the enigmatic Whispers, a tarot-inspired system providing endless permutations of calamities but also blessings. Play multiple tense 10-15 minute runs over the course of 5 challenging harvest seasons where your abilities reset with each season and the Devourer evolves and grows stronger.
A pricey voodoo doll made of wood or a free rusty pitchfork? An ability to build hideouts in the fields or to heal you while crouched? Unlock a myriad of otherworldly weapons and abilities for your Warden and village and build your own deck to suit your needs. Will you sacrifice your own health to equip them? Choose your playstyle and survive.
An aristocrat far removed from wealth and ease, a priest left armed with his sacred verses; what led them here, and why do these ethereal Whispers haunt their every step? Embody a colorful cast of characters and explore the lives of these seemingly ordinary villagers through the eyes of a modern day Investigator plagued with the same curse and running out of time…

Overall my feelings for this game are positive, but repeating the same [spoiler] boss and the same over and over again for every season [/spoiler] got quite tedious after a while when I learned the [spoiler] boss's playstyle [/spoiler]. If they added more variety to the [spoiler] Devourer [/spoiler], maybe adding new versions or new creatures that would hunt every harvest season, I would absolutely give this a 10/10. As it is? Fun until you figure out the mechanics, then just kinda tedious. 7/10?1 found this helpful
Beautiful graphics and a wonderful story! It was scary at first but I found myself being able to overcome that fear pretty quick. The gameplay loop is taking on a person every night and collecting Ambrosia. For me, it became repetitive, but I can see the appeal if someone enjoyed that rogue like aspect more!1 found this helpful
Solid 6-8 hour game experience. Wish there was another map, more variations, etc. but I'm guessing the game undersold and the developers couldn't do more. Buy on sale and play for a weekend. Cheaper than a movie.1 found this helpful
10/10 The characters' premise fits my needs of perspective. This might not mean anything, and I apologize if this isn't misleading. I don't leave bad reviews, all efforts are a perfect score.1 found this helpful
Good
If you want a VERY short, Singleplayer Dead By Daylight experience with some amount of roguelike modifiers, then its a fun little experience. It is a little too easy once you get used to the mechanics of the game. Other than that. The game features this "Rite" system where every entire Real Life Week it gives you new objectives to try out for in exchange for some coins to use for "Hexxed" items... I dont know what they do and I find it weird that a short, small game like this with as little modifiers that it has even entertains the idea of replaying through some kind of Fear of Losing out mechanic. I almost dont want to recommend the game because of how short it is. But, if you know. Then It should be okay for you to decide what to do with it.
