Perfect Garbage and Blumhouse Games have officially revealed Grave Seasons, a genre-blending farming simulator and supernatural murder mystery game, launching in 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
Set in the quiet town of Ashenridge, players begin by tending crops, fishing, and building relationships—until they realize one of the villagers is a shape-shifting serial killer. With each new game, the killer changes, creating fresh investigation challenges every time.
This sinister twist transforms the traditional cozy farming sim into a thrilling narrative-driven experience. While managing your farm and social bonds, you must also gather clues, protect townspeople, and potentially romance the very person behind the murders. The integration of crafting as a defense mechanism deepens the gameplay loop.
This unexpected concept may appeal to fans of Stardew Valley who are looking for something darker, yet still heartfelt. The random killer mechanic and replayability suggest Grave Seasons could become a standout in the evolving life sim genre.
With Blumhouse Games involved, expectations are high for quality horror storytelling, and Grave Seasons looks set to cultivate a unique legacy.
