Harvestella is a 2022 farm life sim role-playing video game developed by Live Wire and published by Square Enix.

[2] It has been compared to Final Fantasy and Rune Factory, and revolves around farming crops while attempting to save the world from the sudden appearance of a deadly magical plague known as Quietus.

[2] Other gameplay aspects include life simulation elements, where players can explore their village and talk to its residents, farming, cooking, crafting and fishing.

Cres reveals that the protagonist was exposed to the dust of Quietus which typically causes terminal illness in all living things that breath in a sufficient quantity.

These members include Shrika, a missionary, Heine, a flirtatious and handsome mechanic, Emo, a siren princess and the last of her kind, Istina, a teacher who was once an assassin, Asyl, a spearman, and Brakka, a mercenary.

The protagonist manages to rescue Aria and defeat Geist, but he in turn leads them to the truth behind his actions before shutting down and rebooting, becoming an ally.

Aria's past is revealed, and it's shown that a red Seaslight fell on Earth long ago and triggered Quietus, leading to the planet becoming uninhabitable.

The protagonist is forced to fight her and bring her back to her senses by entering her consciousness and freeing her heart from her self doubts within, convincing her that murdering innocent people to save her kind isn't right.

However, the project to save either the Cains or the Abels goes haywire after the Proto, revealed to be sentient, reprograms it to destroy both species, but Aria and the protagonist manage to prevent this.

[4][5] Jonathan Bolding of PC Gamer called the game "Square Enix's answer to Rune Factory", saying that it had a "distinctive spin and visual style".
