A cozy farming simulator, ‘Crop’, pops up from Carbonara Games, which has a sinister side to it
“The only way out is through the harvest.”
Carbonara Games was founded by 3 video game developers (and friends): Adrian Tingstad Husby, Frits Olsen, and Torstein Vien. They founded the company in 2023 and began development on their first-ever game.
Crop is a gritty farming thriller where your safety depends on the yield. Bound to a dying farm, you must dig, plant, irrigate, and cut your way through the decay. Uncover buried secrets, both in the soil and quietly brewing within the village.

The player is thrown helplessly into a dreamlike place. They end up in a small village, that is completely isolated from the outside world by a terrible storm. The locals coerce you into running a farm to avoid starvation while waiting for help to arrive. Feeding the ever hungrier inhabitants is hard work, but in the process you get to know the place and the people there, while trying to figure out who brought you here and what is going on.
