Developer Sway State Games has unveiled Into a Hearth Yonder, a delightful new cozy creature-collecting MMO-lite that boasts a vibrantly colorful art style. Set to launch on PC next year, this game promises a unique gaming experience filled with charm and exploration.
In Into a Hearth Yonder, players can embark on solo adventures or team up with friends to traverse the enchanting world of Viteria. Accompanying players on their journey are loyal automata—adorable companions that enhance various aspects of gameplay. These little helpers can boost your performance in 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, the studio head at Sway State. "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 fully embrace your favorite playstyle."

O'Kelly further emphasized the game's focus on a relaxed, enjoyable experience: "We aimed to lay out a cozy table of adventure, to explore at your own pace, with plenty of building, crafting, exploration, and 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, having contributed to titles such as Divinity: Original Sin, Dying Light 2, Harold Halibut, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain. If this game piques your interest, be sure to add it to your wishlist on Steam.
