It's been a crazy few weeks! My new game I revealed to the world at gamescom is called We Harvest Shadows, a first-person farming horror allegory. Here's the trailer:

I released a demo along with the big announcement, and the reaction has been absolutely wonderful. People love it! I really had no idea if people would like it or not, especially from all the lukewarm reactions I got when showing the game to publishers and playtesters. Countless content creators and streamers have said this is now their most anticipated indie game of the year, and might be the most interesting horror game of the last few years. I can't tell you the relief I'm feeling.
If you would like to play a beautiful (but scary) story-driven anti-cozy game like this, then please wishlist We Harvest Shadows on Steam. The support would be amazing. Thank you for everything!
Sincerely,
David
From the creator of Home is Where One Starts… comes The First Tree, a third-person exploration game centered around two parallel stories: a fox trying to find her missing family, and a son reconnecting with his father in Alaska. Players take control of the fox on a poignant and beautiful journey that crescendos at the source of life, and perhaps result in an understanding of death. Along the way, players can uncover artifacts and stories from the son's life as he becomes intertwined in the fox’s journey towards The First Tree.
Key Features:
For fans of Journey, Firewatch, and Shelter.
Not a "fox simulator," but an emotional, intimate story by a one-man team with an ending you won't soon forget.
Featuring a gorgeous soundtrack by acclaimed artists like Message to Bears, Lowercase Noises, and Josh Kramer.
A short game (about an hour and a half) focused on story with some light puzzle solving and platforming.
