As part of its latest Treehouse: Live showcase, Nintendo has shared a lengthy look at Square Enix’s upcoming fantasy farming sim Harvestella, showing off its story, its world exploration and combat, its farming, fishing, and more.
Harvestella – a sort of blend of Final Fantasy, Harvest Moon, and Rune Factory – begins with players waking up with a bad case of amnesia in a world where the seasons are governed by four giant crystals known as Seaslight. Unfortunately for the locals, something has gone awry and a deadly dust known as the Quietus has started seeping from the crystals, trapping people indoors and causing crops to wither and die.
And that’s not the end of their problems; as players settle into a vacant house on the outskirts of Lethe Village, a huge comet falls to the earth nearby, bringing with it the armoured body of an Omen, thought to be the cause of the calamity. We see some of this in Nintendo’s showcase, but the bulk of the play-through is focused around Harvestella’s second chapter as players start to explore the dungeon-like Higan Canyon, with help from new pal Dianthus.
