In a new horror game on Steam, you retreat to a lonely farm in the mountains. And if that isn’t horror enough: Well, at night, you are not truly alone.
Which game is being referred to? We are talking about We Harvest Shadows, the latest game from David Wehle. It is an unusual combination of farming simulation and psychological horror.
There is still no fixed release date for We Harvest Shadows. However, there is a demo on Steam. You can already try out the game – it only costs you time (and electricity).
A trailer for We Harvest Shadows can be seen here:
Alone on a farm in the mountains – or not?
What is the game about? You are Garrett, escaping the city to spend the rest of your days as a hermit. He believes the world would be better off without him. You find refuge in an abandoned farm in the wilderness of the Appalachians.
There, you spend your days doing classic work: you maintain your house, take care of your livestock, and grow your own food. In between, you explore the surrounding area. But if you thought you could just relax at night, you are mistaken.
At night, We Harvest Shadows transforms into a psychological horror game, inspired by P.T. and What Remains of Edith Finch. As it seems, you are not entirely alone on the farm, as something appears to be lurking in the shadows. And it is following you.
We Harvest Shadows is quite an unusual genre mix. However, it seems to be perfect for the YouTuber and Twitch streamer Gronkh – at least, that is what his fans think. They are already asking under a TikTok post introducing the game, “Has Gronkh played the demo yet?”
The answer to that, by the way, is yes, he has.

The game shows how even a so-called “walking simulator” can create a horror experience that captivates.
