Square Enix revealed today a new game in development for Nintendo Switch and PC titled Harvestella – a new RPG that combines adventure and simulation elements such as crop tending, befriending townspeople and discovering the story of “Quietus” – a life-threatening calamity that comes with each passing season. It’s said that the length of Quietus is getting longer every year.

As with most RPGs, players will be out in the world exploring various cities and dungeons such as “Nemea Town,” where cherry blossoms bloom all year round, “Seaside Town Shatolla,” with a lively bar scene, “Lethe Village,” with its colors of the four seasons, and the snow-covered “Holy Capital Argene.” In order for players to reach the “Seaslight,” the four giant crystals that govern the seasons, they’re tasked to cross a rugged and beautiful path.

Daily life involves the growing of crops which can be sold for money or used as crafting materials. They can also be used for cooking, with food items used to recover HP or increase stats. While at home, players can take care of animals including a round bird called Cluffowl, a goat named Woolum and their pet Totokaku.

Along the way, you’ll encounter new friends – Shrika, a missionary in search of new faith, Heine, a handsome mechanic with a penchant for flirting, Asyl, a descendant of the Wind Readers and Aria, a mysterious girl who claims to be from the future.

Combat in Harvestella lets you switch through a variety of job classes such as Fighter (quick sword techniques), Shadow Walker (uses twin swords to deal lethal blows) and Mage (specializes in magic attacks). Each class uses specific weapons and can be used to target weak points by eliminating them with the powerful Double Break attack.

Harvestella will be available starting November 4 later this year.
