Developer Sway State Games has unveiled their latest project, Into a Hearth Yonder, a cozy creature-collecting MMO-lite set to launch on PC next year. The game boasts a delightfully vibrant art style that's sure to capture the hearts of players exploring the enchanting world of Viteria.
In Into a Hearth Yonder, whether you're adventuring solo or with friends, you'll be accompanied by a charming group of automata. These adorable companions not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also boost various aspects of gameplay, such as combat, farming, fishing, mining, and crafting. "We thought it would be fun to embody player stats and skills as cute, Tamagotchi-like automata," explained Chris O'Kelly, studio head at Sway State Games. "You take joy in collecting and caring for them, and in return, they enhance your exploration of Viteria, improve your quality of life, and empower you to lean fully into your favorite playstyle."
