🌾 From Digital Sagas
This newsletter is brought to you by Digital Sagas LLC, a small indie studio with a big love for storytelling. Our motto — Join the Saga — is an open invitation to step into strange, immersive worlds where every choice matters.
Our current project is No One Leaves the Field, a first-person folk horror game set in a cursed wheat field. Each time you enter, the field shifts — haunted by whispers of a grieving mother and stalked by a scarecrow golem bound to the land. Your only hope is to search the farm, piece together its secrets, and try to escape the curse.
We’ll be sharing more about the game as it approaches its demo release this fall. In the meantime, you can help support the project by adding it to your wishlist:
No One Leaves the Field on SteamÂą
A first-person folk horror game set on a cursed farm where the wheat shifts each time you enter. Search for your car keys, uncover the family’s dark ritual, and beware—something ancient walks between the stalks.
