"Into a Hearth Yonder: PC Release Announced"

Developer Sway State Games has exciting news for gamers, announcing their latest project, "Into a Hearth Yonder," a cozy creature-collecting MMO-lite game with a delightfully vibrant art style, set to launch on PC next year. In this enchanting world of Viteria, players can embark on adventures either solo or with friends, accompanied by adorable automata companions. These little creatures not only add charm but also enhance your gameplay by boosting activities like combat, farming, fishing, mining, and crafting. "We thought it would be fun to embody player stats and skills as cute, Tamagotchi-like automata," explained Sway State studio head Chris O'Kelly. "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."

"We aimed to lay out a cozy table of adventure, to explore at your own pace, with plenty of building, crafting, exploration, and magic," O'Kelly further elaborated. "It's 'survival' but with less struggle - just a worry-free deceleration, really." This approach promises a relaxed and enjoyable gaming experience, focusing on exploration and creativity without the usual pressures of survival games.

The development team behind Into a Hearth Yonder brings a wealth of experience, having previously worked on acclaimed titles such as Divinity: Original Sin, Dying Light 2, Harold Halibut, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain.
