About the Game
You've been hired to work a farm in the isolated town of Besmirch. The land is failing, the people are frightened, and the Baron’s tithe grows heavier by the day. Whispers of an apocalypse drift between shuttered windows, and every night unholy monstrosities move beyond the fields. Your task is as simple as it is impossible: keep the town alive long enough to save it.
As the latest farmhand, you’ll coax crops from barren earth, cook what little you can, and fight tooth and nail to protect every sapling. Each seed struggles to grow, and each harvest is a hard-won victory. Keep a pittance for yourself and share what you can with a town desperate for relief, while still surrendering the Baron’s due. This cursed farm is your lifeline, your burden, and your battleground.
Besmirch’s outskirts are riddled with hidden places, buried secrets, forgotten sins. Brave the Baron's crumbling Mansion; scavenging what you can from its haunted depths. Explore while daylight lasts, for when night comes, demons awake. You must hurry home, seal the doors, and pray your faith does not fail you.
The people of Besmirch pass judgement by omens as much as deeds, and their blessings turn to curses when hunger rises. To stay in their good graces, you must walk carefully between superstition, devotion, and the secrets they refuse to share. With their perception poisoned by desperation, you must prove you are worth more alive than banished.

Patch NotesOfficial
0.7.2 Update: Co-op, enchantments and much more!
version 0.7.2 is out. Multiplayer is in!This took forever to get to a good place. I am sure there will be lots of crazy issues with co-op, but it's in! That's all that matters lol.I'll try my best to explain all that has changed. There was a lot behind the scenes that will go unmentioned here.Lots of bugs were fixed! But...I am sure even more bugs were added to the game.New features are kind of like that.New Changes:Steam Integrated Multiplayer!Character Create Page. Limited to color and name for now. (Outfits will be coming in the future).Item enchantments.Item blessings/curses.Random "Curio" interactables around the world.Random interactables in Caves (Loose weapon piles, torches from previous "farmers", etc).Alternate day/night themes in Fall.Fishmonger made more accessible.Fishmonger theme song.Insanity added, Hatman is here!Updated drop rates/pricing in many areas.Min/Max buttons when cooking so you don't have to spam click 1,000 times and get a ridiculously strong index finger. (As helpful as "strong index fingers" can be, probably not the greatest when messing with quantity inputs).Caves are locked until after Beet Festival now to avoid continuity issues with quests (Per request from users/reviews).Some dialogue additions/quirky little changes.Images in Popups.A cool little wobbly effect on statuses lol.I updated the "Crop management" code to allow for multiple farming rooms. This is ridiculously exciting. My dream is to eventually allow the player to just roam a big open world and plop a little house down with a farm wherever they like.Idk, a lot more... I forget everything after like 5 seconds.What I'm working on now (Content for V0.8 Update):New Monsters. (Mimics, Cryptids, Swamp creatures).New Fish (Swamp fish!)Alternate music for winter/spring/summer season.Swamp.More Festivals. (Halloween event, Christmas event, Easter Event, Summer festival, continual festivals year after year).More bosses.Story line progress.Let me know what you think!If there are any...Read full article on Community Announcements (gangru)AnnouncementsOfficial

For now it's just color, and a name choice that doesn't affect anything so far.New Changes (Only available in "unstable" branch):Multiplayer.Character Customization.Added more bugs so that I can continue my Sisyphus-style life.What I'm working on now:Bug fixing. I let all the issues accumulate too long.New Monsters.Finishing Multiplayer work.
