Needle In A Haystack is finally out! The demo was just the warm up. The full release is bigger, sillier and packed with stuff to find. There are now 47 needle types to collect, from the Needlefish to the Baguette needle to the legendary Toothpick of Destiny. The hay is full of ridiculous items too, but I won't spoil anything. Automation has been completely rebuilt, so you can run a whole hay factory with robot arms, drones, robot vacuums and conveyors. On top of that there's a full campaign, four haystack sizes, new game modes, and online co-op for up to 6 players. Thank you to everyone who played the demo and sent feedback. Grab some friends and go find that needle.

Hey everyone! We’re officially just 3 days away from release, so we’ve now closed the demo as we get everything ready for launch. The demo is quite a bit behind what the full game has become, and we’re really excited for you to finally see everything we’ve been working on. Needle in a Haystack launches Tuesday, September 29th. Thank you to everyone who played the demo, shared feedback, streamed it, or simply wishlisted the game. We seriously appreciate all the support. See you at launch! 🌾🔍

When we first launched the demo, we did not expect this many people to play it! You don't understand how much this means to us, and we are constantly working to improve the game and fix all the bugs so you can have a better experience when it releases. Make sure to join our Discord to report issues, share suggestions, or find people to play with. Also, If you would like to support us, simply wishlisting the game will help out a lot, as it will help steam show our game to more players. Thank you for making this possible!
