Harvestella is set in a vibrant and colorful world where four giant crystals call “Seaslight” create a stable change between the four seasons. The adventure begins as abnormalities in the Seaslight begin to appear, creating the “Quietus,” a season of death that takes place between the naturally occurring four seasons. During the Quietus the crops wither and people cannot venture outside, and troublingly, these seasons are mysteriously growing longer with each year.
In this life simulation RPG, players will grow and tend to crops, use ingredients to cook and craft items, and venture into the Overworld, which vibrantly changes based on the season, to visit different towns, and interact with townsfolk, go fishing, and more. Players can select from various jobs, such as Fighter, Shadow Walker, and Mage, and venture into the dungeon with their party to discover the origins of the world as well as the truth behind the calamity along the way.
