Developer Sway State Games has unveiled an exciting new project, *Into a Hearth Yonder*, a cozy creature-collecting MMO-lite designed for PC, set to launch next year. This game introduces players to the vibrant and enchanting world of Viteria, where they can embark on adventures either solo or with friends.
In *Into a Hearth Yonder*, players will be accompanied by adorable automata—small companions that not only enhance the game experience but also assist in various activities such as 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."

Chris O'Kelly further elaborated on the game's philosophy, stating, "We aimed to lay out a cozy table of adventure, to explore at your own pace, with plenty of building, crafting, exploration, and magic. 'Survival' but with less struggle - just a worry-free deceleration, really."
The development team behind *Into a Hearth Yonder* boasts an impressive roster, including talent from projects like *Divinity: Original Sin*, *Dying Light 2*, *Harold Halibut*, and *Horizon: Call of the Mountain*. If you're eager to dive into this charming world, be sure to wishlist *Into a Hearth Yonder* on Steam.
