"World-crafting" sandbox game 'Grow: Song of the Evertree' announced for PC, PS4, Xbox One & Switch
Australian developer Prideful Sloth, who worked on Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles, announced their new title Grow: Song of the Evertree today. It is described as a "world-crafting sandbox" game that mixes life management and exploration. As the last of the Everheart Alchemists, you will have to bring the Evertree back to life and change the world of Alaria for the better.
Grow: Song of the Evertree is a breathtaking world-crafting sandbox with life management and exploration elements. Players are introduced to the once vibrant and colorful world of Alaria, abandoned and overrun by the mysterious Withering. Over time, Alaria has faded and the magnificent Evertree - whose many worlds once resided on its countless branches - is now nothing more than a sapling with its splendor long erased from memory.
As Everheart Alchemists, players will learn how to nurture, care for, and grow new and unique worlds within the branches of the Evertree. As the old inhabitants return and life begins to blossom, players will be able to meet them, learn their stories, and create a dream town to nurture a blooming community.
Key features of the game are as follows:
Discover a Vibrant Unique World… at Your Own Pace
