"Into a Hearth Yonder" Launches on PC

Developer Sway State Games has unveiled Into a Hearth Yonder, a charming creature-collecting MMO-lite with a vibrant art style, currently in development for PC and slated for release next year.

In Into a Hearth Yonder, players can journey solo or with friends through the world of Viteria, accompanied by loyal automata companions. These little helpers enhance various gameplay aspects, such as combat, farming, fishing, mining, and crafting. "We wanted to represent player stats and skills as adorable, Tamagotchi-like automata," explained Chris O'Kelly, studio head at Sway State. "You'll enjoy collecting and nurturing them, and they'll reward you by enriching your Viteria explorations, streamlining daily tasks, and empowering your preferred playstyle."

"Our goal was to create a welcoming adventure where you can explore at your own pace, with ample opportunities for building, crafting, exploration, and magic," O'Kelly added. "It's 'survival' with less stress—a truly worry-free, relaxed experience."

The development team behind Into a Hearth Yonder includes veterans who contributed to titles like Divinity: Original Sin, Dying Light 2, Harold Halibut, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain. You can wishlist Into a Hearth Yonder on Steam to stay updated.
