Gleaner Heights

About This Game

“Today is another typical day in Gleaner Heights. I got up, went to the general store, bought some seeds, planted them. Cooked some spaghetti bolognese, went out to chop wood. Milked my cows, fed them too. Got in my boat, went underwater with my diving suit. Found a cave entrance, fought a giant crab, grabbed some treasure. Got back up, went to the showroom for a drink. I think the hotel owner’s daughter is throwing funny glances at me. I shouldn’t have gifted her that boot I fished out the other day…”

“Once you’ve looked under the hood and see that the farm sim is only the surface of the game, you find a surprisingly addicting dark adventure title. If you’re a fan of farming sims but need something to spice it up, try the grim substance matter of Gleaner Heights out. You may find exactly what you’re looking for.”
