Forget Stardew Valley’s cozy vibes. New farming sim Crop keeps you “on edge,” and I can’t get enough of it

The cozy vibes of Stardew Valley can make farming feel like a breeze, even in the tougher seasons. As someone who looks after their own garden and grows the odd tomato plant, I know that isn’t always the reality. Tending to your land sometimes means being out there in the freezing damp and the fog, but it’s all part of the experience. Nothing I have to deal with is a patch on what you’ll face in Crop, however. This new farming game traps you in a nightmarish trudge, weaving the uneasy rural vibes of Twin Peaks and the eldritch curiosities of Dredge into an oppressive twist on the format that’s got me completely hooked.
