Developer Sway State Games has unveiled Into a Hearth Yonder, an enchanting new cozy creature-collecting MMO-lite set to launch on PC next year. This game promises a delightful experience with its vibrant, colorful art style that invites players into the charming world of Viteria.

In Into a Hearth Yonder, whether you're adventuring solo or with friends, you'll explore Viteria accompanied by your loyal automata—adorable companions that enhance your gameplay. These Tamagotchi-like creatures can boost your abilities 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 Sway State studio head Chris O'Kelly. "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."

"We aimed to lay out a cozy table of adventure, to explore at your own pace, with plenty of building, crafting, exploration, and magic," O'Kelly added. "It's '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 previously worked on acclaimed titles such as Divinity: Original Sin, Dying Light 2, Harold Halibut, and Horizon: Call of the Mountain.
