While this story might sound familiar to all you Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley fans out there, Fae Farm celebrates these hallmarks while also delving even deeper into elements such as combat and exploration, allowing players to don fairy wings and venture throughout the land of Azoria rather than solely stick around their homestead.Īhead of the Direct, I spoke with Katie De Sousa, the creative director of Fae Farm, as well as the game director, Isaac Epp, and asked them a few questions about Phoenix Labs' upcoming game.

Built with cooperative play in mind, the game allows up to four players to drop in and out of the game seamlessly as they team up to turn an old rundown farm into a proper home. The developers at Phoenix Labs recognized this mystical phenomenon-and the extraordinary healing powers these games possess-and thus began work on Fae Farm, an intimate-yet-grand farm sim that they call 'a love letter to farming and life sim games.'Īnnounced during September 13's Nintendo Direct, Fae Farm is a vibrant-looking Switch exclusive that combines dungeoneering, exploration, magic, combat, foraging, mining, farming, fishing, and curating a cute n' cozy home into an adorable-looking multiplayer experience.

Much like perfectly fluffed pillows, hot tea, and soft sweaters with too-long sleeves, there is something almost magical about cozy games.
