Inspired by Fable, Stardew Valley, Rimworld, and a sprinkle of The Sims, Mirthwood features a rich, fully realized open world with gorgeous hand-drawn graphics and an original musical score. 

Arriving in a land filled with opportunity and secrets, players create their own adventurer, a refugee having freshly fled from a war-torn continent. With a completely open world and non-linear progression, players can choose what kind of life they want to lead. Those with wanderlust may elect to navigate through treacherous forests, explore ancient ruins, and battle against formidable creatures to uncover the land's hidden treasures.

Some may long for the simple life of settling down. Players will come to own an upgradable homestead, building up their very own farm, complete with crops, orchards, and animal rearing. Take your produce to the local town, trading and interacting with various unique personalities and characters using a Sims-like relationship system. Building friendships and trust can lead to unique rewards, quests, and even budding romances.

Mirthwood offers players a deep and engaging experience, with a rich world and questing system filled with twists and turns. Along the way, players will contend with the unpredictable world around them, making choices that affect their character and others, allowing for multiple playthroughs and unique experiences. The game also features a robust crafting system, allowing players to create powerful weapons and items to aid them at home and in their travels.

Mirthwood is sure to captivate players with its detailed world, a cast of memorable characters, intricate storylines and dynamic combat, keeping players continually engaged and challenged throughout their journey.

Will you settle a new homestead to live a life of farming and trade, or pick up the sword and take up the adventurers' path?
