Inspired by Stardew Valley, my farming sim starts with someone else getting your dream farm

Hi everyone,

I wanted to thank the mods first and foremost for letting me post this here.

I’m very happy to share that my farming sim, Bitter Harvest, is out today!

It starts with the usual farming sim dream: arriving in a quiet village to claim your own patch of land. But in this game, someone else gets there first.

With no land or money, your only option is to become the town’s garbage collector.

From there, you slowly work your way back up. You pick up trash, get hired as a farming hand, fish, mine, craft, cook, take on quests, build friendships, and discover the villagers’ secrets and scandals.

You can try to rebuild your life honestly or use what you discover to get ahead.

I wanted to make something with the cozy routines I love in farming sims, but with a sharper story about ambition, resentment, and starting from the bottom.

The game is now out on Steam and I’d be happy to answer any questions 🙂
