Bad Ridge Games and V Publishing have released a demo on Steam for its upcoming medieval fantasy RPG life-simulation adventure, Mirthwood.
Mirthwood isn’t just about its striking visuals and atmosphere. It features a storyteller mechanic influenced by games such as Fable and Rimworld, where in-game events are generated by selected storytellers, affecting the game’s difficulty.
For example, one event generated by the storytellers might result in a townsperson being infected with lycanthropy. You must decide whether to confront and end the werewolf or walk away. If you choose to walk away, you may return later to find the town eerily empty.
Here’s an overview provided by V Publishing:
Inspired by Fable, Stardew Valley, Rimworld, and The Sims. Mirthwood is an enchanting open-world RPG Life Sim that blends genres to create something truly special. Fleeing a continent swept with war, your arrival in a new land provides a fresh start. Experience an immersive medieval fantasy world sandbox that allows you to choose who you want to be.
And here’s a full list of features:
- Cultivate Your Homestead: Build a farm, plant and harvest crops, rear animals, and upgrade your facilities to craft items and gear.
- Explore the Freelands: This open world comprises six diverse regions and three distinct towns, with much to discover. Travel on foot or by mount through mystical forests to boggy swamps.
- Brawl and Skirmish: Take up a sword or prepare your bow in real-time combat. Mirthwood pits you against various enemies. Find and equip various loot and hunt down rare, powerful items.
- Be Who You Want To Be: Your skills improve through your actions. By performing these actions, you’ll gain access to skill cards that you can equip and unlock powerful modifiers. Will you choose to be a lovable rogue or a sword-swinging master farmer?
- A Fully Simulated Realm: Mirthwood is a fully simulated world and economy where NPCs go about their daily lives. Your choices impact the world and shape events.
- Embrace Your Sense of Adventure: Embark on quests, encounter dynamic events, and investigate mysteries across the world.
- Mix and Mingle: Meet and befriend (or insult) any NPC, and unlock new social interactions as your relationships and reputation grow. You can also recruit companions and pets to take with you on your journey.
You can try out the demo now and learn more about it on Steam. See if you enjoy its mix of Rimworld and Stardew Valley, combined with the role-playing scenarios and outcomes reminiscent of Skyrim.
