"Into a Hearth Yonder: PC Release Announced"

Sway State Games has unveiled their latest project, *Into a Hearth Yonder*, a delightful new cozy creature-collecting MMO-lite designed for PC, set to launch next year. This charming game boasts a vividly colorful art style that promises to captivate players as they dive into the enchanting world of Viteria.

In *Into a Hearth Yonder*, players can embark on adventures either solo or with friends, accompanied by a loyal band of automata. These adorable companions not only add to the game's charm but also enhance your experience by boosting various activities such as combat, farming, fishing, mining, and crafting. According to Sway State studio head Chris O'Kelly, "We thought it would be fun to embody player stats and skills as cute, Tamagotchi-like automata. 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 elaborated on the game's design philosophy, 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." This approach aims to create a serene yet engaging environment where players can relax and enjoy their journey without the typical survival game pressures.

The development team behind *Into a Hearth Yonder* is a talented group with experience from notable titles such as *Divinity: Original Sin*, *Dying Light 2*, *Harold Halibut*, and *Horizon: Call of the Mountain*. If this game piques your interest, you can add it to your wishlist on Steam and look forward to its release next year.
