Wholesome Direct 2024 is here as part of the Summer Game Fest, and it has provided us with a brand-new glimpse of the adorable upcoming adventure game Littlelands.
Spice Link's Awakening up with a bit of Animal Crossing flair, and you may just end up with Littlelands. The whimsical indie gem headed by just two developers, Rafael Martín and Kyle Creamer, offers a magical world in which you can do a bit of everything - catch some creepy crawlies with your bug net, craft yummy dishes, explore for treasure, farm juicy berries, fish, forage, and more. In other words, Littlelands packs a powerful punch full of every cozy game essential alongside Zelda-esque combat and exploration.
Littlelands is also as lively as it is cute, boasting a populated world in which you converse with a diverse cast of characters, discover each one's story, and help them with tasks along your adventures. You'll probably want to avoid any goblins, though - they're small but you shouldn't underestimate their love of loot. Your own character, which devs aptly describe as "a big-headed little youngster," is completely customizable, too, from their hair to the color of their clothes.
- The Stardew Valley stan in me is more excited than ever to play this cozy farming sim for real next month, after its Steam Next Fest demo blew me away
- I got tricked into trying this roguelike dungeon crawler after its Steam Next Fest demo used cozy farm sim features as bait to draw me in, but now I'm converted
If it all sounds as intriguing to you as it does me, you can hop into the indie adventure and try it yourself soon. As shown during the Wholesome Direct today, the game's demo will be available to play for free on Steam.
