The game has no set release date or other platforms mentioned (besides PC) so far, so we'll have to stay tuned for updates in the coming months.
I loved Starbound, Stardew Valley, and I'm looking forward to Wargroove and Witchbrook. So far this game is giving me good vibes, so I'll likely be looking forward to this one as well.

Looks really good. Gives me some Earthbound vibes. Pixel art is nice and detailed.



This looks cute, although I'm beginning to fear that the "lone and troubled man with innocent child travelling the through apocalypse" scenario is becoming repetitive.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

The Earthbound vibes are strong, I almost feel like I should be wishing for Mother 4 to have this artstyle instead of a mix of Animal Crossing and Pokémon now



This looks really good!Im looking foward to it.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.
