11 Bit Studios Reveals Crop, a Gritty Farming Thriller With Twin Peaks Energy

The three-person Oslo team is in alpha with no PC release date.

Overview

  • Publisher 11 bit Studios and developer Carbonara Games unveiled Crop during Thursday’s Triple-I Showcase, with a planned launch on Steam for PC.
  • No release date is confirmed, and the studio told PC Gamer the game will not ship in 2026.
  • Wccftech reported the game is in alpha and relayed a tentative estimate of late 2026 or early 2027, though the team made no firm commitment.
  • Play centers on slow, hands-on farming where every task drains energy, with detailed jobs like digging plots, composting, trenching irrigation, running fuelled water pumps, fighting pests, and managing a tight inventory, and you can get sick without proper rain gear.
  • Beneath the work loop sits a paranormal mystery tracked by a Mind Roots map, with morally gray villagers, a blunt cop named Astrid, a conspiratorial local named Greta, and a rain-soaked, muted art style that flips the cozy farming formula into psychological horror.
