Developer Video Series
Creative director Louise Blain hosts an ongoing developer video series titled Everything You Need to Know About Grave Seasons. The first episode released on May 2, 2026 and covered the core concept, the town of Ashenridge, and the central murder-mystery system. A second episode, subtitled Farming and Foraging, followed in late June 2026, with new entries arriving on a roughly biweekly schedule.
Wishlist Milestone Art
Perfect Garbage has celebrated successive Steam wishlist milestones with bespoke character art, posted to the studio's social channels. Released milestones include 30K, 50K, 100K, 200K, 300K, and 400K wishlists, with the 400K image showcasing Tomás, the town priest.
Seasonal And Event Art
The studio has also released seasonal promo images, including a 2024 Halloween piece and a 2025 Happy Holidays card. A dedicated PAX East 2026 piece was used to promote the game's first public demo.
Beyond trailers, Grave Seasons has appeared in Nintendo's Indie World showcases, including a July 2025 spot that set the summer 2026 window and a March 2026 appearance alongside the release-date reveal.
In June 2026, during Summer Game Fest week, Grave Seasons returned to the summer showcase circuit. Narrative director and co-founder Emmett Nahil appeared at the Future Games Show Summer Showcase, broadcast as FGS Live From Los Angeles, to walk through the game's combined farming, romance, and investigation systems, and the game was also featured at the Story-Rich Games Showcase with a short featurette on its narrative design. Shortly after the showcase circuit, Perfect Garbage announced that the launch was moving to a Fall 2026 window and that the planned June 15 public demo had been cancelled so the team could focus on a simultaneous release across all platforms.
