Press release:
San Francisco, California – July 16, 2026 – Indie Studio Dead Possum Games and Publisher Level Up Gaming are excited to announce that Petunia’s Purgatory is now available on Steam.

Petunia’s Purgatory is a haunting idle farming experience that nests at the bottom of your screen. Cultivate strange crops, perform blood rituals to unlock twisted rewards, and command unique helpers to manage your cursed farm – all while desperately trying to keep Petunia’s sanity intact. But there’s a darker purpose: feed the ancient Elder God lurking in your barn, or face the consequences. Push Petunia’s mind too far, and the game breaks free from its window, corrupting your very desktop.

Tend the farm. Feed the Elder God. Keep your sanity – if you can.
