Sway State Games has exciting news for cozy gaming fans: they're developing Into a Hearth Yonder, a charmingly colorful MMO-lite set for release on PC next year. This new title invites players to immerse themselves in the delightful world of Viteria, where you can explore at your own pace, either solo or with friends.
In Into a Hearth Yonder, you'll be accompanied by adorable automata companions that not only enhance your journey but also boost various aspects of gameplay. These cute, Tamagotchi-like creatures can improve your combat skills, farming efficiency, fishing success, mining capabilities, and crafting prowess. "We wanted to make player stats and skills embodied by these charming automata," explained Chris O'Kelly, head of Sway State. "They bring joy through collection and care, while simultaneously enriching your exploration of Viteria, enhancing your quality of life, and allowing you to fully embrace your preferred playstyle."

O'Kelly further described the game's ethos: "We aimed to lay out a cozy table of adventure, where you can explore at your own pace, with plenty of opportunities for building, crafting, exploration, and magic. It's 'survival' but with less struggle - more of a worry-free deceleration."
The development team behind Into a Hearth Yonder boasts impressive credentials, having worked on notable titles such as Divinity: Original Sin, Dying Light 2, Harold Halibut, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain.
