Developer Sway State Games has recently unveiled their latest project, *Into a Hearth Yonder*, an enchanting cozy creature-collecting MMO-lite set to grace PC screens next year. This game boasts a vibrant and charming art style that promises to captivate players as they delve into the world of Viteria.
In *Into a Hearth Yonder*, players can embark on adventures either solo or with friends, accompanied by their faithful automata companions. These adorable, Tamagotchi-like creatures not only add a layer of charm to the game but also enhance various aspects of gameplay. From boosting combat effectiveness to aiding in farming, fishing, mining, and crafting, these automata augment your abilities and enrich your journey through Viteria. "We thought it would be fun to embody player stats and skills as cute, Tamagotchi-like automata," explained Chris O'Kelly, the head of Sway State studio. "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."
