There's a farming sim for just about every taste in this post-Stardew Valley world, but if you're looking for atmospheric agriculture, then you might want to check out Crop. Revealed during the Triple-I Initiative Showcase, Crop puts an eerie spin on the usual formula of digging holes, planting seeds, and nurturing crops, as that hard work is paired with the slow-burning dread of an investigative thriller.
Bound to a homestead that isn't as fertile as it used to be, players will have to work the land with dirt, blood, and pesticides to feed a village full of starving people. Investigation is as vital as irrigation, as you search for answers as to how you wound up here and found yourself contracted to high-stakes farming, and you'll need to organize your crops wisely if you want to survive.
That means digging trenches, installing pumps, and repairing crumbling equipment to slow down the rot that's creeping onto your land in this single-player game.
Described as a story-driven descent into mystery and psychological horror, players will eventually unravel a deeply unsettling narrative centered on self-destructive behavior. Published by 11 Bit Studios and developed by the three-person team of Carbonara Games, Crop will launch for PC.
This is just one of several big announcements from the Triple-I Initiative Showcase, as the show has already debuted trailers for several upcoming games. Prove You're Human looks like a timely experience in a world of rampant AI investments, Cairn is getting free DLC later this year, and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse will pit players against corrupted French legends.
