***Harvestella*** (Japanese: ハーヴェステラ, *Hāvesutera***?**), stylized as ***HARVESTELLA***, is an upcoming lifestyle simulation role-playing video game developed by Live Wire and published by Square Enix. It is scheduled to be released on November 4, 2022, for the Nintendo Switch and Microsoft Windows, available through Steam.

The player controls the Protagonist as they explore an imaginative fantasy world through the changing seasons, tend to their crops, socialize and befriend the townsfolk, face enemies in dynamic combat, and unravel the mystery of Quietus, the season of Death.

## Plot

The player takes control of the Protagonist, a traveler who collapses in an isolated town known as Lethe Village during the height of a particular Quietus, a calamity that comes with each changing season and a threat to all life. During this seasonal calamity, the Protagonist collapsed outside the village of Lethe and encountered as mysterious woman who provided them with a cryptic purpose. The village doctor, Cres, saved their life and sheltered them from the deadly dust, though it left the Protagonist an amnesiac. Since then, the Protagonist lives in their own home at Bird's Eye Brae near the village. They tend to their crops, go fishing, raise livestock, socialize with the townsfolk, venture into dungeons, and explore the world and various neighboring towns.

They are introduced to Aria, a scientist who claims she's from the future, and Asyl, a member of the Argus Brigade. Aria begins living with the Protagonist as she searches for a way to return to her own time and delves into the mysteries of Quietus and the Seaslights. The two of them take the first step on a journey that will reveal the origins and the world and the truth behind the calamity along the way, encoutering Dianthus and the mysterious Omen. The Protagonist goes on to meet Emo and Heine and later receives a submarine, named the *Fiasola*, that was constructed by Heine. They later meet Shrika, a missionary for the Seaslight Order, Istina, a former assassin, and Brakka, a mercenary during their various investigations into the happenings at the Seaslights. They also run into the mysterious Omen Geist, who claims to have plans for the world and its future.
