Developer Sway State Games unveiled Into a Hearth Yonder, an upcoming cozy creature-collecting MMO-lite featuring vibrant visuals, launching next year for PC.
Players will journey through Viteria accompanied by automata companions – adorable mechanical helpers that enhance gameplay through various boosts for combat, resource gathering, and crafting. Studio head Chris O'Kelly explains: "We envisioned player stats manifested as Tamagotchi-esque automata. Nurturing these charming companions rewards players with Viteria exploration boosts and quality-of-life improvements tailored to their preferred playstyle."
