Untold Tales and VARSAV Game Studios have confirmed a release date for Everdream Valley, which is out on Nintendo Switch next week.
From developer Mooneaters, this is pitched as “a vast farming adventure with a touch of magic.” In an experience that has looked to recapture “the days of childhood adventure and endless imagination,” you play as a young child who spends the summer on your grandparent’s farm.
By day, you must restore your special corner of the valley – raising crops, caring for animals and rebuilding the farm – whereas at night, magic dreams will let you embody farmland creatures to overcome special challenges.
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
Bring Life and Charm Back to the Farm: This little homestead needs a lot of attention. A sprawling variety of fruits and veggies to grow and a vast collection of animals to raise. Protect your crops, keep your animals happy and gather the resources to repair and expand your farm.
Create an Animal Paradise: Everdream Valley has very few people disturbing the peace so animals thrive here. Pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, goats, alpacas… the list goes on. Each creature (wild and domesticated) comes with some unique influence on your farm. Everdream Valley is all about caring for animals, so rest assured you’ll never be turning favourite cow Bessie into a burger patty.
The Best of Fluffy Sidekicks At your side will always be your trusty doggie companion. Choose from 13 different breeds and train your best bud to help with things like herding, tracking, finding treasure and more. There’s a cat too. Win him over and maybe he’ll do something for you in return too. Maybe
The Magic Comes Out at Night: At night the magic of the valley comes out and your dreams let you become one of many animals on the farm through unique mini games. Each has its own special reward or impact on your farm the next day.
A Relaxed Sandbox of Adventures: Your summer days in the valley aren’t just about looking after the farm. There’s so much more to do! Spend the nights camping, build a treehouse, catch and collect bugs, go fishing, get new clothes, cook, take photos, build furniture, go treasure hunting. Each adventure gives you something back to help you grow your farm even more.
Everdream Valley will release digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide on 23 June 2023.
