"Into a Hearth Yonder: PC Release Announced"

Developer Sway State Games has unveiled Into a Hearth Yonder, a captivating new cozy creature-collecting MMO-lite game designed for PC, set to launch next year. This charmingly colorful title invites players to immerse themselves in the enchanting world of Viteria, where they can explore either solo or with friends.

In Into a Hearth Yonder, players will journey alongside a loyal entourage of automata—adorable companions that not only enhance the visual appeal but also significantly augment gameplay. These Tamagotchi-like creatures can boost various activities such as combat, farming, fishing, mining, and crafting, allowing players to customize their experience according to their preferred playstyle. "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."

O'Kelly further elaborated on the game's design philosophy, stating, "We aimed to lay out a cozy table of adventure, to explore at your own pace, with plenty of building, crafting, exploration, magic. 'Survival' but with less struggle - just a worry-free deceleration, really."

The development team behind Into a Hearth Yonder brings a wealth of experience from notable titles such as Divinity: Original Sin, Dying Light 2, Harold Halibut, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain. If you're intrigued by this delightful new venture, you can add Into a Hearth Yonder to your Steam wishlist to stay updated on its progress.
