Harvest Island is a story driven farming simulator where you farm stuff for the gods. You can discover lots of hidden places like a cave behind a waterfall or befriending wild animals that hides in the forest or finding a randomly placed vending machine in a dark underground hidden room along the beach.
- Throughout the island, you'll collect items like coconuts, seaweed, horseshoe crabs, and other peculiar stuff: Nine-armed starfish, beetle, and a shark. You'll offer these common and strange items to the gods and in return, the gods will reward you by giving you bless. This bless helps you craft, upgrade your farm, and progress the story.
- There are tons of different types of fish that you can catch all over the island. Each fish has their own behavior and habitat. Depending on the conditions, fishing during the day or night, or far off into the corner of the island will catch you different types of fish as long as you use the correct bait during those times. You can then cook the fish and eat it to gain bless and stamina when you perform activities like farming.
- You can craft various tools from your workbench to help you further explore the island like a ladder, rope, and a fishing pole. These tools will help you further progress the story and will help you farm.
- Gods play an important part in Harvest Island. Everyday, the gods will ask you for items that's around the island. You receive bless from the gods once you give the items to them. You use the bless to upgrade your farm or use bless to build and or craft stuff.
- As time progresses, the forest, caves, and seashores changes. When it becomes night, the caves glow, the forest sings and sparkles with fireflies, and the shore recedes creating a low tide. You can see the sunset and sunrise while the landscape changes. The day/night cycle is perpetual and you don't even have to sleep if you want to pull an all nighter or two.
- When it rains, animals will hide, fish will hide, and crops will be watered. Sometimes you'll get a sprinkle, and other times it'll pour down hard. But when it's sunny, everything is back to normal.
- There are many wild animals on the island. You can befriend them, pet them, or even feed them. Sometimes they will give you items they find in the wild or show an undiscovered passage for you to explore.
- Tides fluctuate as time progresses, changing the island's landscape. You can pick up sea critters during low tide and offer them to the gods. And tides can open up new paths. It'll allow you to explore the island further.

I can't get past the first quest with the chest.
There's a hardlock in the demo... I went to the island and when I came back (no energy) I went to the left rather than home and it loaded what appears to be the top most part of the farm screen and I couldn't move or do anything - when I used the movement keys there were no walking sounds and pressig those keys for while didn't seem to change anything, maybe my character was stuck in the trees? Either way I couldn't leave and so didn't get past the first day.
when this game is done will it cost money?
When I launch it, it says that it failed to the load the Harvest Island png.
Oh shoot, I'll fix that. There's a new version on Steam. You can quickly play that while I fix this
Witaj. Czy autor tej gry jest Polakiem? Tak sądzę, jak zobaczyłem na Steamie że będzie język polski :D Powodzenia w robieniu gry! Ps. Która to wersja RPG Makera?
The author isn't polish. It's made in RPG Maker MV
I see. Thanks for the reply.
Will the full version be available if purchased from bundle?
There is no way I can do that physically. Or with the tools that I have. I added this demo in support of the Palestinian aid. It's the only thing I can do with what I currently have =/
Ok np, was just curious :)
is this made with RPGmaker? really liking how you customized stuff
great game definitely willing to buy it on steam
it is made from RPG maker. Thank you for your support!
Hello! I recently completed a review of your game for my Youtube series “The First 15”! I’ve placed a link to the video down below, please check it out and TAKE MY MONEY!!! <3
Thanks haha. I watched it. When you pet the animals, you're expending bless. Pet more, get more yield. The pets only work once a day. You can see it with the heart. Items respond, so there's no glich. It just responded quicker and I need to balance that. I really recommend finishing the demo. The ending will surprise you... because it's not a typical farming game. The story you're expecting, it's more than what you can imagine.
This game looks precious. I'm loving the art style
I would recommend making him more likable, it is not necessary to change too much, just enough to make him not be a monster, for example, have him change his mind when he sees that the raccoon is a mother, showing that there is a line that one must not cross. Or maybe change the quest, instead of having to hunt the sacrifice have him fish (and show us that mechanic while you are at it) You know, I imagine that a god in the middle of an island would like fish more as a sacrificial offer.
Well, that are my thoughts, I was The Lost Chevalier, signing out! :)
A really lovely game. I really enjoyed it, thank you.
your welcom
will you give this for free when its fully out
No, I won't
El Juego me gusto ya espero la versión Completa
the game looks so good!
Thank you!
Hey, I've made a video about the game, hopefuly it's useful for the developing ;D. Also I wanted to share some quick feedback :)
-Visual style is quite good :)-For it's current state of development it's quite polished in terms of bugs and glitches.
-The story and the game mechanics that I've seen while recording are quite interesting :)
-In general, playing the demo you released has been a good experience, and right now one thing that could be improved are the mechanic of getting crabs....CAUSE DUDE THEY ALWAYS RUN AWAY FROM ME hahahahhaha.
Good luck developing the game :)
Regards
Hahahaha. I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
