One Needle In A Haystack

One needle. A mountain of hay. How hard could it be? Take over a neglected hay-sorting depot in **One Needle In A Haystack**, a first-person game of searching, upgrading and factory automation. Every incoming consignment contains exactly one hidden needle—and it’s your job to find it. Start with a shovel and a tray, digging through the hay one load at a time. Sell the hay you remove, earn money and put your profits towards upgrades. What begins as a simple manual search gradually grows into a working operation, complete with conveyors, powered machinery and new processing equipment. Expand your depot, unlock research and organise your equipment to keep the hay moving. Get stuck into the search yourself or put your growing machinery to work as you hunt for that tiny piece of metal buried somewhere in the pile. Recover each consignment’s needle, add it to your archive and prepare for the next job. It’s a slightly absurd challenge where patience, clever organisation and a good shovel can go a long way. Dig. Sell. Upgrade. Automate. Find the needle.
