Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Find The Needle Together is a co-op game, and the best way to tune its digging, economy and automation pacing is with real players digging haystacks together. Early Access lets us balance progression with your feedback, fix issues that only show up in real co-op sessions and grow the content alongside the community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to stay in Early Access for roughly 6 months. This is our best estimate and may shift a little based on player feedback.”

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

“We plan to add:
- More hidden needle kinds and new Pincushion pages to collect
- New machines and production lines for the later harvest areas
- More interface languages beyond English and Turkish”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core game is playable from start to finish: first-person digging, 5 harvest areas, 24 hidden needle kinds for the Pincushion, production lines with 50 catalog items and 80 upgrades, farm orders, and online co-op for 1-4 players with proximity voice chat. The interface is available in English and Turkish.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we add new content and features during Early Access. The full release price will be higher than the Early Access price.”

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

“We read every review and Steam discussion thread. Player feedback will directly shape balancing, quality-of-life improvements and which new needles, machines and areas we build next.”

About This Game

Millions of straws. One needle. Find it together.

Dig by hand

Grab a pitchfork and start digging. Every swing pulls hay out of the stack, every load sells as hay, and every coin goes into better tools: shovels, rakes, baskets and wheelbarrows.

Find the hidden needles


Sewing needles are buried deep inside the haystacks. Dig one up and add it to your Pincushion. There are 24 kinds to find, and each one makes your farm a little stronger.

Better together


Play solo or invite up to 3 friends in online co-op. Talk over built-in proximity voice chat, split the work between digging and building, and celebrate together when someone finally finds one.

Build it, then automate it


Place Auto Forks that pull hay from the stack, run it along Conveyor Belts, press it into bales in a Baler and sell it at the Sales Counter. Power your lines with Solar Panels and keep expanding until the farm digs for you.

Grow your farm


Fill farm orders, unlock upgrades and move from the Little Stack to the Endless Haystack. Bigger stacks hide rarer needles.
