Harvest Island

Harvest Island is a horror RPG-farming sim hybrid that, while flawed, can be frightening and shows promise for the developer.

Harvest Island has a great story for you to get wrapped up in, but the gameplay doesn't quite cut it and it fails on both promised themes.

Harvest Island is too drawn out in its game mechanics to make for a relaxing farm sim, and with so many other options out there its better to scratch that itch elsewhere.

With a creepy atmosphere, lo-fi graphics and classic farming sim mechanics, Harvest Island is the perfect fall game for any cozy gamer.

Harvest Island is a horror farm sim that is light on horror, and it has a mode for players to minimize the farming… Harvest Island certainly isn’t what I was expecting! It plays almost more like a narrative adventure, but that’s not a bad thing. I had a lot of fun foraging for what I needed and making new discoveries so frequently. There are enough side quests and optional upgrades to focus on whenever you want a distraction. The characters feel surprisingly fleshed out without heavy exposition. Updates have been coming regularly to patch up any issues. The various ways to unlock new areas and the ways areas can change really keep the game fresh. As long as you’re prepared for a focus on exploration and quests, not expecting too much on the farming or horror side of things, it’s a delightful experience! I’ll be keeping an eye on Yobob Games now, for sure.
