Harvest Island is a slow-burn narrative-driven horror experience with an emphasis on exploration. Harness farming sim themes and mechanics to drive the plot deeper into a dark mystery clouding the remote island. Explore haunting locations and encounter ever-changing landscapes that evolve over the course of the game. Craft tools with the items gathered through explorations and earn precious Bless to expand your farm and appease the gods. As you progress through the story, the tension continuously festers, and you will uncover the unsettling answers to the game’s most pressing questions. Why are you on the island? What is the significance of the gods? What deep, dark secret is your father hiding?

Unravel a new narrative thread through the eyes of Becky, a young girl who previously lived through the horrors of Harvest Island. Becky’s fight for survival intertwines the fate of Will and Samantha through key items found in ambitious places. The Secrets of the Gods adds an extended ending as well, providing a definitive conclusion to Will and Samantha’s journey. 

Across all of the improvements, all-around balancing, and new implementations, Secrets of the Gods delivers a whole new experience for both new and returning players of Harvest Island. One key improvement is a more impactful horror experience. Harvest Island now features more scares, eerie events, and surprises as you attempt to escape the island.

Secrets of the Gods is now available as a free update for Harvest Island. New and returning players can sink into the dark journey on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and itch.io.

Key Features:

Explore a Diverse Island: Find a collection of incredible things on the island, including coconuts, seaweed, horseshoe crabs, beetles, and sharks. Use these items as offerings to the gods, ways to upgrade your farm, and more. Tides will fluctuate as time progresses, changing the island’s landscape, and can even open up new paths allowing you to explore the island further.

Catch Fish: There are tons of different types of fish that you can catch all over the island. Each fish has their own behavior and habitat. Depending on conditions, fishing during the day or night or in a far-off corner of the island will allow you to catch different types of fish. Cook your spoils and eat them to gain Bless and stamina.

Craft Tools: Craft various tools like a ladder, rope, and fishing rod from your workbench to help you further explore the island and collect much needed items and food, as well as answer the island’s mysteries.

Make Offerings: Gods play an important part in Harvest Island. Every day, the gods will ask you for items that are around the island. Receive blessings once you give the gods these items, and you will earn permanent stats like max bag capacity or increasing max stamina. You can also use Bless to upgrade your farm, build, craft, or even ask the gods to alter the weather or change the time!

Day/Night Cycle: The day/night cycle is perpetual, and you don’t even have to sleep if you want to pull an all-nighter or two. Caves glow, and the forest sings and sparkles with fireflies at night, while other changes are visible during the morning and afternoon time as well!

Endure the Weather: When it rains, animals and fish will hide, and crops will be watered, but everything will be back to normal by the time the sky becomes clear!

Befriend Animals: You can befriend animals on the island, pet them, or even feed them. Sometimes they will give you items they find in the wild or show you an undiscovered passage to explore.
