To celebrate the 3rd anniversary of HARVESTELLA, Square Enix released a new illustration by main character designer Yasushi Hasegawa. Square Enix thanks fans for their support as HARVESTELLA celebrates its 3rd anniversary on November 4 (JST).
HARVESTELLA launched on November 4, 2022 for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam as a competitor to the popular Rune Factory series. In this title, players will cultivate their land and adapt to the four seasons as abnormalities create the Quietus, a season of death that arrives between the normal seasons.
Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, courtesy of Square Enix:
HARVESTELLA is set in a vibrant and colorful world where four giant crystals called “Seaslight” create a stable change between the four seasons. The adventure begins as abnormalities in the Seaslight begin to appear, creating the “Quietus,” a season of death that takes place between the naturally occurring four seasons. During the Quietus the crops wither and people cannot venture outside, and troublingly, these seasons are mysteriously growing longer with each year.
In this life simulation RPG, players will grow and tend to crops, use ingredients to cook and craft items, and venture into the overworld, which vibrantly changes based on the season, to visit different towns, interact with townsfolk, go fishing and more. Players can select from various Jobs, such as Fighter, Shadow Walker, and Mage, and venture into dungeons with their party to discover the origins of the world as well as the truth behind the calamity along the way.
