The Hayseed Knight is a plot driven fantasy comedy Visual Novel created by Maxi Molina/SandraMJDev. It is available to buy on Steam or itch.io. Though initially released in Early Access on December 8, 2020, the story is currently complete, with the fifth and final chapter released February 29th, 2024.The game follows the tale Ader, a one-eyed deer who eventually goes on to become the legendary Knight of the Upperfield, a hero who unites the peoples of the world. Or, at least, that's what the official histories say. According a being known only as The Narrator, a lot of what people think about Ader is incomplete, inaccurate, or just completely made up. The Narrator would know — they were there to see his origins. To set the record straight, they enlist the help of Lin, an aspiring writer who claims to be Ader's descendant, to write his real story... or, at least, the one The Narrator remembers.

comment
Non-Heteronormative Society: Zig-zagged. Gender roles are fairly rigid in deer society, with a lot of emphasis on stags proving their worth and the size of their horns, alongside a social cost to being a horneater, a term which includes homosexuals. However, perhaps because of this, there's no stigma attached to being transgender, with deer society even having a ritual where trans does saw off their horns and give them to trans bucks to have themselves.

Accent Slip-Up: Miss Rashel starts speaking in a drawl resembling Ader's once she decides to drop all pretense with Sep at the climax of Chapter 4, showing her accent is yet another part of her highly-constructed persona.

comment
Feel No Pain: While transporting Sep's soul to the Temple of Hirub, Ader appears to be completely healed from the injuries he received in his fight with Teylid's golems. Once Sep's soul is in the Temple's forge, he looks down at his body and sees it still highly-wounded — Sep had merely turned off his perception of his wounds, but didn't heal them.

Poor Communication Kills
 The Hayseed Knight (Visual Novel) / int_1c445e86
comment
Poor Communication Kills: From Chapter 4 onwards, Eka assumes that Eina let Ader in on the plan to assassinate Isifikh and reform the government of Eyrlum. She hadn't, so Ader and company interpret everything Eka says though a much more sinister lens, assuming that the beasts are there to slaughter the deer population indiscriminately.

Glowing Eyes: Several characters feature this. Eida often flashes these when sneaking up on another character and it's heavily implied that she is one of the in universe abominations. Her family shows this too. Sep displays this occasionally since she is carrying a curse in her.

Hot Skitty-on-Wailord Action: During Ader's time, it's noted by both Sep and Elbar that deer and gazelles can't have children together. Far in the future, Lin, a gazelle, claims to be a descendent of Ader, implying that someone figured out a way around that in the interim.

Inconvenient Attraction: Sep actually isn't thrilled when she realizes her feelings for Ader are becoming romantic in nature. Many of her diary entries after that point are devoted to unpacking her insecurities about loving someone and allowing herself to be truly loved instead of just being an object of desire.

Insufferable Genius: Berbiz genuinely means well, but is extremely bad at reading the room and doesn't know when to shut his mouth, which earns him punches from both Ader and Sep. Even the very kind Djao suggests dropping him down a well within about a minute of meeting him.

Burn the Witch!: This seems to be the people of Eyrlum's go-to response if they suspect a magic-user in their midst. Since The Merchant is extremely open about his use of magic, this leads to him being burnt on a pyre about once a week, since he can't actually die.

I Am Not Weasel: Ader is very insistent that Eina is a perfectly normal albino doe, and she doesn't bother to try to correct him (not that she could, being mute). Almost everyone else assumes she's a golem deer. Exactly one person outside her family immediately notices that she's a wolf. (Granted, they're thought to be mythical, but there are still illustrations of them.)

Bedmate Reveal: During one flashback, Sep is horrified to find that she got a little too drunk and asked Ader to spend the night with her during a moment of emotional vulnerability. She isn't horrified because it's Ader, just that he actually spent the night at the Desert Rose, which could lead to a whole lot of trouble.

Immortal Ruler: Eyrlum is ruled over by King Isifikh, a former beast turned-deer who united the wandering deer tribes, and later put down the Barhan Rebellion. Turns out the whole "turned-deer" part is inaccurate, as he appears to be the same "model" of artificial beast as Eina is.

You Are the Translated Foreign Word: Sep is billed as "the Jasif", which characters usually translate as "queen" or "princess" but is also something like "God-Emperor". It initially seems like a gimmick to make her more exotic when she dances. In fact it's even more than the translation, to the point that she doesn't even think of herself as a real gazelle.

Sep also amusingly notes in her diary that Ader has nothing to worry about after she very directly propositions Elbar to have sex with her, only for him to uncharacteristically clam up and scamper out of the room the first opportunity he gets.

Claimed by the Supernatural: In an attempt to circumvent the curse of Oblivion and have her "favorite" remember her no matter how much time they spend apart, Sep brands palmprints into Ader's shoulders using her fire magic. Unfortunately, she didn't reveal her intentions before doing this in a spur-of-the-moment decision, causing Ader to freak out and run away and Sep to feel abandoned. They eventually reconcile, and those brands are what allows Ader to transport Sep's soul to the Temple of Hirub after she explodes during the climax of Chapter 4.

My Girl Is a Slut: While discussing Ader's status as Sep's "favorite", she warns him that relationships with her are never exclusive, so she will take other lovers as well. Ader states that he doesn't mind, and he views that as her "keeping their bed warm" in a flirtatious tone.

Fractured Fairy Tale: Sep allows Ader to "visit" her every night despite being unable to pay on the condition that he tell her a new funny story each time and be gone by morning. It's essentially a gender-flipped version of the Arabian Nights.

High-Class Call Girl: The Desert Rose is an establishment based around providing these to suitors. When we first meet Sep, she isn't one of of these, however — she's a dancer and performer, essentially walking advertising for the main business. This changes when Miss Rashel, who was always pressuring her to start bringing in more money by becoming courtesan, finds Elbar in her bedroom after he barged in and more-or-less forces her to accept such a rich, high-profile man as a patron.

Back from the Dead: The narrator posits that Ader was actually killed by Teylid at the end of chapter 4, and explicitly resurrected by Sep's power. Ader sporting Glowing Eyes Of Undeath and being able to effortlessly toss Teylid aside despite having just gotten a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from Teylid's Golems and subsequently stabbed in the chest lends some credence to this, though it turns out he's still heavily wounded from the assault.

Foreshadowing: Tons of it. A second playthrough is full of Rewatch Bonuses once the player has full context. A lot of what Ilegrab says in offhand comments and snarky asides makes a lot more sense when you know he's masterminding the assassination of King Isifikh the whole time, commanding the Beasts. It starts as early as Chapter 1. Ader enters a tavern with Eina, and the bartender has no reaction to her until Ader mentions her name, at which point the bartender is suddenly terrified. The curse of Oblivion prevents people from remembering the cursed ones unless a non-cursed person acknowledges them by name. In Sep's diary, she mentions being fed up with Ader's constant rambling, swearing that her next lover will be mute. Depending on the player's actions, Eina can join their relationship a chapter later.

Author Filibuster: Played for Laughs. At one point, Elbar is tricked into thinking that Ader is a pirate lord, "kidnapping" Sep away from him. This outrages him, because the only thing he hates more than peasantry is piracy, exclaiming "Pay for your things, Godsdamnit! Artists need money to eat!" This prompts Lin and The Narrator to agree loudly, saying that freelancer creatives deserve more pay, people who think passion is its own reward are idiots, and stealing from small creators is way worse than stealing from large corporations. They then stare directly at the player for a few seconds before declaring that it's always morally correct to steal from people like Elbar.

Through His Stomach: Sep "bribes" Ader with various luxury foods to entice him to return. Eina provides Ader his only regular source of food and goes to great lengths to find better food for him when Ader is out of sorts.

Uptown Girl: Sep lives in one of the richest districts in the city and she is noticeably plump in a medieval setting. Ader lives in the slums and is a few days away from starving.

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: During Ending 1, Ader is forced to flee the city with the Beasts after they assassinate Isifikh. Sep still ascends into Jasif, with Ader and crew seeing her distant, more-"monstrous" form flying in the sky above Erylum, but it isn't explained what happened or why.

Everyone Can See It: Ader and Eina very clearly have a thing for one another, even if neither of them are the type to admit it to one another out of fear of it affecting their friendship. Ilegrab sets them up on a date in Chapter 2, and in Chapter 4 it's possible for Sep to outright push their heads together so they finally just kiss already.

Urban Segregation: Eyrlum, the focal city of the game, features several separate districts. The Slander District is home to the poor and seedy residents of Eyrlum. The city also features districts for the nobility that are kept segregated at spearpoint. Additionally the Heartache District is separated exclusively for finding paid company.

Never Learned to Read: Ader is illiterate. While exploring Sep's diary, he can only "read" it because of his Psychic Link with her, since she knows what's on the pages. Eventually, Berbiz teaches him the basics of recognizing names, but it takes a while and their lessons are cut short by outside problems.

Bastard Bastard: Elbar is the son of a city lord and a maid, and completely callous and obsessed with appearances and schemes. Nearly every positive thing he does is to try to appease someone he wants to curry favor with. He's also a fratricide, though he insists it was unintentional. The encyclopedia calls him this trope explicitly.

 The Hayseed Knight (Visual Novel) / int_fb56b948
comment
My Sister Is Off-Limits: One of the reasons why Miss Rashel doesn't outright force Sep join the family business proper is that she knows that, if Sep was ever seen with a patron, her rich, powerful, and scarily "overprotective" brother Teylid would certainly arrange for that patron to be tortured and killed. Rashel is able to force Sep into taking Elbar as a client explicitly because Elbar is a noble who cannot be targeted without consequences.
