Oh, to be a sword-swinging grape taking potshots at a sickly, tree-dwelling caterpillar. Garden Story, a completely scrumptious neighborhood sim-slash-dungeon journey from builders Picogram, shared extra of its pastel pastoral vibes in a brand new trailer earlier right now – together with information that the city’s opening ceremony has been postponed into 2021.
Ah, effectively, even when it does take just a little longer to reach, Garden Story is wanting “berry” beautiful on this newest trailer.
Sorry. I’ll present myself out.
Garden Story is a private fave of my freelance information nemesis colleague Lauren Morton, who coated the game’s free demo launch during PAX East earlier within the yr. It’s one thing of a Stardew Valley-like, one with just a little extra concentrate on hacking and slashing as you defend the fruity little village of Autumn Town from The Rot.
We get just a little extra of that slashing this time ’spherical, as main grape Concord delves into deserted libraries. In a second, we glimpse a rotten caterpillar lurching out of an overgrown tree, the primary style of a boss combat. But that doesn’t imply there isn’t time to deal with the city, chat to villagers, or quiet down for a cushty spot of fishing in Garden Story’s lush pastel ponds.
Sadly, Lauren must wait just a little longer earlier than whacking caterpillars in a library. While Garden Story was beforehand eyeing up a launch this Spring, the devs have determined to postpone launch into 2021 to make the game “bigger and even more adorable”. That ought to at the very least imply it’ll arrive extra villagers in your neighborhood, extra assets to collect, and extra monsters and managers to beat down.
In the meantime, that free demo remains to be obtainable to select up over on Steam.
