What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“After years of development, Harrowlands has established a solid foundation of colony building, character simulation, exploration, and survival. Early Access is the next step in refining these systems, expanding the world, and making the experience even better. I want players to enjoy what's already here while helping shape the game's future through their feedback.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I currently expect Early Access to last around one to two years, although this may change depending on development progress and community feedback. My priority is to deliver a polished, well-rounded experience rather than rush toward a fixed release date.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“I plan to build upon the existing foundation with richer character interactions, more dynamic world events, expanded quests, deeper faction systems, and improved diplomacy. Future additions may also include seasonal festivals, challenging bosses, magical catastrophes, and more locations to discover. My goal is to make Harrowlands a richer, more immersive world filled with meaningful choices and unexpected stories.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core colony simulation systems are already in place, including settlement building, character behaviors, needs management, exploration, world events, and combat. There's plenty to experience, although certain systems still need additional balancing, content, and polish. Expect ongoing improvements and occasional rough edges as development continues, alongside further expansion of modding support.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“I expect to gradually increase the price as major updates introduce new content, features, and improvements. Any adjustments will reflect the game's growing scope and will be communicated in advance. The exact timing and amount of future increases have not yet been determined.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community feedback will play an important role in shaping Harrowlands throughout Early Access. I'll be sharing development updates, roadmaps, and patch notes through Steam and Discord, while gathering feedback on gameplay, balancing, and future features. I want to build a community where players can share their experiences, suggest improvements, and help make Harrowlands the best it can be.”

About This Game

Harrowlands is a medieval fantasy colony sim where you build your settlement and guide the Fateborn who call it home. Each has a unique past, traits, and relationships that shape their everyday lives. Explore a mysterious world, overcome its dangers, and forge your own story.

Choose Your Story

Begin as fugitives who narrowly escaped a reaver's keep, or as survivors forever changed by a forbidden sacrificial rite. Every settlement has its origins, but what happens next is up to you.

Core Features


  • Three Distinct Races
    Humans, Sylrions, and Azuurans each have their own traits, temperaments, and cultures. Watch friendships form, rivalries emerge, and unexpected relationships unfold as they live together in your settlement.

  • Fateborn with Unique Stories
    Every Fateborn has a backstory, distinct traits, special affinities, and abilities that influence how they work, fight, and interact with others.

  • A Vast Procedurally Generated World
    Explore diverse mystical biomes, uncover hidden locations, and adapt to an ever-changing landscape. Each new world brings fresh opportunities and challenges.

  • Kingdom Politics & Recurring Threats
    Defend against reaver raids, navigate imperial demands during the Sovereign Reign, and decide how to deal with court mages, inquisitors, and powerful factions.

  • Trade & Diplomacy
    Trade with traveling merchants, neighboring villages, imperial outposts, and secretive societies like the Venom Vault. Build alliances, negotiate deals, or pursue your own interests.

  • Crafting & Customization

  • Specialized Buildings
    Expand your settlement with structures that improve comfort, encourage social bonds, enhance magical training, and unlock new production opportunities.

  • Quests & Consequences
    Rescue prisoners, confront dangerous creatures, and embark on heroic quests, or choose a darker path through raiding, forbidden alliances, and imperial service.

  • Ancient Temples & Legendary Loot
    Venture into forgotten ruins, face formidable creatures, and uncover powerful artifacts hidden within.

  • Modding Support
    Customize and expand your experience through a dedicated modding framework, giving players the freedom to shape Harrowlands beyond its original design.

Shape Your Legacy

Build a peaceful refuge, forge alliances with powerful factions, or carve your own path through conquest. From the friendships and rivalries of your Fateborn to the choices that shape your settlement's future, every decision adds another chapter to your story.
