About Grave Seasons
Grave Seasons is a supernatural farming simulator set in a small town where murder and mystery lurk beneath pastoral life. Perfect Garbage and Blumhouse Games crafted this 2026 release as a role-playing indie title for PC and consoles. You play a new farmer in Ashenridge, tending crops, fishing, and mining while navigating relationships and uncovering a string of killings. The game blends seasonal farming cycles with a dark narrative. Expect a mix of cozy sim mechanics and eerie investigation. It’s a single-player story-driven experience that asks you to balance survival with solving crimes.
Gameplay
Each day cycles between farm management and murder-solving. You rotate crops, repair tools, and trade goods while tracking clues like bloodied tools or cryptic notes. Interactions with townsfolk via dialogue trees reveal motives and red herrings. Fishing and mining yield resources for both crafting and evidence. The calendar advances weekly, forcing you to harvest before seasons shift. Combat is minimal but tense, most encounters involve stealth or interrogation. Side quests include restoring buildings to expand the town, which unlocks new clues. Controls are responsive but feel dated in VR mode. Sessions often end with you piecing together a suspect’s alibi before the next moonrise.
What Players Think
Grave Seasons holds a 82% average rating with 65% completion rate among PlayPile users. 45 hours is typical, though 30% finish in under 30. Community moods: 40% curious, 35% nostalgic, 25% anxious. Reviews praise the "charming world with a haunting twist" but note "repetitive quests." The game has 75 achievements, 38% of which require full story completion. 60% of players skip non-essential farming tasks to focus on the murder plot. Price at $39.99 makes it a mid-tier buy. Some call it a "cult classic in the making," while others say the pacing "lags in summer months."
PlayPile's Take
Grave Seasons works best for fans of slow-burn mysteries and simulation hybrids. The $40 price tag is fair for the 40+ hour runtime, but the lack of multiplayer and occasional bugginess may deter casual players. Achievements add replayability, though 68% of players grind only for the 100% completion title. It’s a solid but uneven blend of genres, ideal for those who enjoy figuring out dark stories while managing a farm. Skip if you prefer fast-paced action or don’t care for dialogue-heavy plots.
