Harakka Studio :
Hasselt, Belgium—July 26, 2024—Peasant, the upcoming action RPG from Harakka Studio, hit its Kickstarter funding target within 24 hours and is on track to reach over 450 percent of its goal. With only a week remaining in the campaign, players still have an opportunity to grab some awesome rewards and unlock additional stretch goals. In this single player medieval fantasy game, you start as a humble farmer exploring a deep open world rich with unique cultures, progress and unlock strengths and skills. Every decision you make will change the world around you. (And, by the way, you can pet everything, even that dragon.)
In Peasant you are not a hero, for heroes are corrupt and take what they please without having to worry about any consequences. No more. There is no prophecy. There is no ancient lineage. You have no destiny. You are just some guy trying to make your way through an epic and intense medieval fantasy world. Start out as a humble peasant who has grown tired of all the abuse from adventurers. Grow your strength and gather your allies in a fight against the heroes; it's time to make them pay for every wheel of cheese they ever took!
Every playthrough is unique. As you play and progress your way through the open world, interacting with a huge variety of creatures, races, and factions it inhabits, every choice you make will have an effect on your character and in the world around you. Each decision charts a value, adding points into one or more paths of progression; don't think you can do everything! There are a variety of conflicting actions which will lock you out from progressing in different paths: if you cut down too many trees, the druidic path will be forever locked from you. The player chooses whether to be a symbol of peace or bringer of death, or even anything between! The karma system of Peasant is not linear so every choice will make your path a little different from others.
The crowdfunding campaign for Peasant ends on August 2nd. For more information and to support the project, visit https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/harakkastudio/peasant
