Harvestella demo now available on the Switch eShop

Harvestella, which was previously pegged for a November 4th, 2022 release on Switch, got some time in the spotlight during today’s Nintendo Direct. More gameplay was shown off, but more importantly, we got confirmation of a demo. That demo is now live on the Switch eShop. Best of all, the demo’s save data will transfer over to the full game.

In the vibrant and colorful world of Harvestella, players will tend their crops, befriend the townsfolk, overcome threats, discover the origins of the world and the truth behind the calamity along the way.

The story begins when the player wakes up in the middle of “Quietus,” a calamity that comes with each change of season and threatens all life. “Quietus” is a season of death that comes at the turn of each season. Crops wither and the dust of death prevents people from even walking outside. It is said that the duration of Quietus is getting longer each year.
