A needle in a haystack simulator has been released on Steam — it surpassed the original in wishlists

News

Translated with AI from the Russian original.

Players in Find The Needle will be able to use various tools to search for the needle.

Find The Needle was recently released on PC on Steam. This is yet another take on a needle in a haystack simulator. This time, it is a project from the studio “Needless Games”.

The game is single-player, and the developer of Find The Needle sets a simple objective: there is a protagonist, a shovel, and a large haystack containing roughly six million blades of grass with a needle hidden somewhere inside. At first, the search is conducted manually using a metal detector; however, over time, using earned funds, players will be able to launch conveyors, balers, scanners, and other tools that will help make the process easier.

Find The Needle was launched in Early Access format. The developer plans to add new mechanisms and equipment to the simulator, as well as work on balance.

The creator of the original simulator titled Needle In A Haystack Simulator has not yet managed to release their project. At the moment, it ranks 251st by number of Steam wishlists — while Find The Needle, shortly before its release, reached 117th place, between The Eternal Life of Goldman and Human Fall Flat 2.

The release of Needle In A Haystack Simulator is scheduled for Q4 2026 (there is no specific release date yet) — the page is available at the following link.
