Podoba Interactive's 'Dread Fields' launched on Steam on May 29 and quickly earned a 'Very Positive' rating, with 98% of 148 reviews positive. The first-person folk horror game is set on a remote farm in rural Ukraine, where the protagonist buys a locally cursed property and begins a new life. Players milk cows, feed chickens, chop wood, and pick mushrooms, but the routine gradually reveals unsettling secrets about the previous owner. The retro mid-2000s visuals and lonely Ukrainian countryside atmosphere build the horror through quiet unease rather than jump scares. The game takes about 60 to 90 minutes to complete and offers multiple endings. A 15% launch discount brings the price to 849 yen until June 5.
