505 Games and developer Prideful Sloth have announced they will be released Growing: Song of the Evertree later this year on Xbox One, Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC. This world-making sandbox game provides players with life management and exploration elements as they explore the world of Alaria. A new announcement trailer can be seen below….
The world of Alaria was once a vibrant and colorful world, but over time has been abandoned and overrun by the mysterious Withering. The land of Alaria is a shadow of its former self, and the magnificent Evertree, whose many worlds were contained on its branches, is now but a sapling.
In the role of an Everheart Alchemist, players learn how to grow and develop new worlds that will live again in the branches of the Evertree. As these new and unique worlds grow, the old inhabitants return and players can meet these characters and learn their story.
There are unique places to find, interesting flora and fauna to discover and puzzles to solve as players explore this world. Players can also spend their time collecting minerals and flowers, fishing, catching insects or building various structures.
“With Grow, we wanted to create a game that gives the player the feeling of adding something to the world rather than taking something from it. This world is a giant garden, a place where you can nurture and nurture it, and guide it in the direction you want it to grow,” said Cheryl Vance, Game Designer at Prideful Sloth. “We give you the power to create and customize your gaming experience; to let you control the pace at which you do it. If you find a cave and stray from your current goal, that’s okay! If you want to befriend as many critters as you can, that’s fine too. You are encouraged to play the way you want without penalty or pressure.”
Grow: Song of the Evertree will come to PC and consoles later this year.
