Developer Sway State Games has recently announced an exciting new project titled Into a Hearth Yonder, a cozy creature-collecting MMO-lite designed for PC players. Scheduled for release next year, the game boasts a charmingly colorful art style that promises to draw players into its enchanting world.
In Into a Hearth Yonder, players can embark on adventures in the world of Viteria, either alone or with friends. They will be accompanied by adorable automata, small companions that not only add to the game's charm but also enhance various aspects of gameplay. These automata can boost activities such as 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, 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 lean fully into your favorite playstyle."

O'Kelly further emphasized the game's relaxed approach, 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 including Divinity: Original Sin, Dying Light 2, Harold Halibut, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain.
