Harvest Hollow

What is this game?

Harvest Hollow is a cozy 2D farming game about improving a small homestead across changing days. Work the soil, plant and water radishes, carrots and pumpkins, sell the harvest and clear natural debris for building materials. There is no town, combat or deadline, leaving the player free to expand the farm at a comfortable pace.

Rules & objectives

1. Crops grow after watered nights: radishes need two, carrots three and pumpkins four. Dry crops wait safely.
2. Rain waters the whole farm every fourth day; the first three radishes begin watered and ripen after one sleep.
3. Buy seeds, ship harvests for gold, chop trees for wood, break rocks for stone and clear weeds for bonus seeds.
4. A sprinkler costs 20 wood, 8 stone and 90 gold; a pond deck costs 18 wood and 5 stone.
5. The pond refills the watering can; sleeping restores energy. Automatic saves and a manual checkpoint preserve the farm.
