Gleaner Heights

Gleaner Heights combines farming and town life with exploration, combat and a mystery about the town’s past. You can play as a male or female character, build up your farm, get to know the townsfolk and investigate the supernatural horror beneath the earth. The main plot has different endings, and your choices can help or destroy townsfolk as you uncover their double lives, plots and betrayals.

Farm and craft

Use tools to turn your farm into a productive field, with over 40 crops to discover and grow. Raise chickens and cows for their produce, keep animals in the barn or let them graze in fenced areas, and ride a horse. You can also grow mushrooms in a mysterious cave and breed silkworms.

Craft items ranging from fences to explosive arrows and cheese makers, cook from over 110 recipes, and upgrade your home and farm buildings. Skills, perks, tool upgrades and clothing with set bonuses provide further ways to develop your character and farm.

Life in town

More than 30 villagers have their own schedules, habits, likes and dislikes. Make friends, learn about their lives and Gleaner Heights’ history, and pursue romantic interests; when the time and person are right, you can choose to build a life together and marry. The game also features town upgrade projects, events and festivals, alongside a day-and-night cycle, seasons and changing weather.

Explore and fight

Explore the town’s surroundings, find secret places and dungeons, and mine for precious metals and stones. You can sail your own boat along the river and to the waterfall, then dive underwater in a diving suit. Fishing is available across the town’s waters and underground lakes, which are home to over 40 kinds of fish. The game contains over 300 items and more than 45 pieces of clothing and equipment.

Combat pits you against creatures guarding lost treasures and uses moves such as rolls, dashes and power attacks. You can charge tool attacks while moving and shoot arrows as you fight. Deeper in the mines, you can confront the supernatural horror tied to Gleaner Heights’ past and decide whether to break its cycle of destruction or inherit it.
