Gaming Grave Seasons adds murder mystery to cozy farming and friendship mechanics Occult murders and farming sims, together at last. By Mat Smith June 9, 2026 9:00 am EST Perfect Garbage While 20 minutes wasn't quite enough time to fully grasp Grave Seasons , I'm already intrigued. And I didn't expect to be. The repeatable loop of farming sims like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing and the rest never really hooked me. However, chasing down a mysterious killer? While harvesting carrots?
With a possible supernatural threat ? I'd sink time in that loop. The game starts with you taking ownership of a rundown farm (and homestead) where it's up to you to get the farm running again while befriending the neighboring residents. A few days into your farming 'journey' (clearing land, tilling soil, planting seeds, etc.), the mayor is gruesomely killed and your character decides to figure out who's responsible.
