Featured during the Story-Rich Showcase 2026, the upcoming title from Perfect Garbage and Blumhouse Games titled Grave Seasons combines the familiar comforts of farming sims with a supernatural murder mystery that constantly keeps you on edge.

You arrive in the isolated mountain town of Ashenridge as an escaped convict hoping to leave your past behind. After settling into an abandoned farm, life seems peaceful enough until a string of supernatural killings begins terrorizing the community. Somewhere among the townsfolk is a serial killer, and every decision you make could determine who survives and who becomes the next victim.

The farming side remains a major part of the experience. You’ll grow crops, fish, mine, cook meals, and upgrade your property. But unlike most games in the genre, those activities directly feed into the investigation. Resources can be used to craft helpful items, uncover clues, and prepare for the dangers lurking around town.

Relationships are equally important. Every resident follows their own schedule, has personal stories to uncover, and can potentially become a close friend or romantic partner. The twist? One of them could be the killer. In fact, the game even allows players to romance the murderer, adding another layer of tension to every interaction.

It launches on August 14, 2026, for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
