Press release:
London, UK – 20th February, 2024.
The Glasgow-based (Scotland) indie games publisher Neonhive Games and London-based (the UK) indie games developer Villainous Games Studio, today announced with great happiness and excitement that their folk horror roguelite “Harvest Hunt“, is coming to PC via Steam this May (2024).

Furthermore, Villainous Games Studio and Neonhive Games has also just announced that they released a brand-new trailer for”Harvest Hunt” at the 2024 edition of the IGN Fan Fest (you can watch the said trailer further down the page).

The eerie trailer reveals the plight of your forsaken village, as told by Samantha Béart (Baldur’s Gate 3, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, Cabernet). In the desolate lands of Luna Nova, death awaits the village every Harvest season. You have been chosen as the next Warden, to protect the villagers from the creatures that threaten to devour them – and to ensure their survival by gathering the precious resources they need to survive.

Don the Warden’s mask and brave the Farmlands around the village of Luna Nova. Seal your fate each night by drawing cards, known as Whispers, to unlock otherworldly abilities and modifiers that may help or hinder you in your vigil, affecting both the environment and the Devourer stalking your every move.

Brave grim surroundings, horrifying monsters and buried secrets to piece together the story of Luna Nova.

“As a small team, we are over the moon that the trailer for Harvest Hunt will be appearing at IGN Fan Fest. We have worked hard to have a fun, spooky and replayable game for players the world over,” said Mark Drew, Creative Director of Villainous Games Studio.

“Having the astounding Samantha Béart bring the chills to our trailer was a natural choice. We can’t wait for everyone to see it and get to play the game in May.”

Will you survive your vigil? Or succumb to the monsters lurking in the dark?

Harvest Hunt will be the first published title by new indie games publisher Neonhive Games, which launched this morning. The game will be available in May 2024 and a demo is currently available to download on Steam.
