About Judy

As WP's managing editor, I edit review and preview articles, attempt to keep up with the frantic pace of Rainier's news posts, and keep our reviewers on deadline, which is akin to herding cats. When I have a moment to myself and don't have my nose in a book, I like to play action/RPG, adventure and platforming games.

'Hoa' Gets Release Date Across All Platforms - Trailer

by Judy on June 12, 2021 @ 12:57 p.m. PDT

Hoa is a puzzle platforming game that features hand-painted art, lovely music, and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere.

Experience the magic of nature and imagination as you play as the main character, Hoa, on her journey through heartwarming environments back to where it all began for her.

The main character, Hoa, belongs to a tribe of fairies with the power of nurturing flora and fauna. The fairies create and maintain life and harmony on an island of magical plants and creatures. After a tragic event, Hoa was sent away as a baby, leaving her with no memories of who she is, or what happened.

The game begins when Hoa returns to her homeland for the first time after many fairy years of being away. As she presses on, her fairy power breathes life back into the land, and wakes its residents up from their long slumber. The further Hoa goes, the more friends she makes, and the more she finds out about herself and her homeland. The journey, however, remains mysterious in its purpose, until it ends at the Land of the Spirits – a dreamlike realm where the back-story is finally unveiled.

Hoa will launch on August 24, 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam). Digital versions are to launch at $14.99, and the physical editions will be available for $39.99 at select retailers, which also includes a voucher for the digital soundtrack.

Key Features:

  • Breathtaking hand-painted art: Step into a painting that lives - explore a vast world of meticulously crafted sceneries of stunning hand-painted art.
  • Outstanding original soundtrack: Captivatingly story-telling and emotionally-charged, Hoa's exceptional score, originally composed and live-recorded, brings its world to life with a touch of nostalgia.
  • Lovely creatures: Keep an eye out for delightful magical creatures along the way. Most of them want to be friends, some might even tell you a little story or two. Cuteness guaranteed.
  • Gentle yet compelling flow: Navigate with a keen eye and solve exploration-based puzzles. Relax to the organic rhythm of subtle storytelling while being intrigued by endless little wonders. Be a child - it's easier and harder than it may seem.

Hoa will launch on August 24, 2021 for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam). Digital versions are to launch at $14.99, and the physical editions will be available for $39.99 at select retailers, which also includes a voucher for the digital soundtrack.
