The cozy vibes of Stardew Valley can make farming feel like a breeze, even in the tougher seasons. As someone who looks after their own garden and grows the odd tomato plant, I know that isn’t always the reality. Tending to your land sometimes means being out there in the freezing damp and the fog, but it’s all part of the experience. Nothing I have to deal with is a patch on what you’ll face in Crop, however. This new farming game traps you in a nightmarish trudge, weaving the uneasy rural vibes of Twin Peaks and the eldritch curiosities of Dredge into an oppressive twist on the format that’s got me completely hooked.

 The antithesis of Stardew Valley, indie farming game Crop traps you in an insular society amid pummeling rain and Lovecraftian undertones.  PCGamesN
