A Unique Blend of Horror, Stealth, Survival, and Strategy Awaits Players in Horror Stories: Harvest Hunt
The much-anticipated single-player stealth survival horror game, Horror Stories: Harvest Hunt, developed by Villainous Games Studio, is set to launch into Steam Early Access on July 26th. Offering a fresh take on the horror genre, players will embark on a thrilling journey as Luna Nova’s Warden, facing the shadows that plague a cursed village. The question remains: Will they emerge as the community’s savior, or succumb to the relentless hunt?
A Terrifying Twist on Horror and Survival
Horror Stories: Harvest Hunt introduces a unique blend of elements, combining the replayability of roguelites with the intense tension characteristic of the horror genre. As a chosen Warden, players will navigate a sinister and nonlinear environment, collecting precious ambrosia in their quest for salvation. However, they are not alone in their pursuit. The malevolent Devourer prowls the fields, forever on the prowl for its next victim. To survive until dawn, Wardens must steady their hearts and remain vigilant.
Adaptability and Strategic Decision-Making Are Key
In the ever-changing hunt, strategic decision-making and adaptability play a crucial role in facing the Devourer. Each night, before the harvest, Wardens must weigh the sacrifice of their health against the potential advantages gained from the various tools scattered across Luna Nova’s Farmlands. Drawing cards will determine the fate of the Wardens, as they acquire unique abilities, strokes of luck, and modifiers that impact both the environment and the Devourer itself.
Embrace the Macabre Atmosphere
Horror Stories: Harvest Hunt envelops players in a macabre atmosphere, immersing them in unsettling soundscapes and grim surroundings. The game features dense, hand-drawn environments that conceal lurking horrors, all complemented by a chilling score composed by Jeff Broadbent (known for his work on Resident Evil and Assassin’s Creed).
