Mirthwood 2D RPG Demo Out Now
Bad Ridge Games has shown that the creation of Mirthwood was inspired by titles like Fable, Stardew Valley, and Rimworld, inviting us to create a home, build a farm, and embark on all kinds of adventures while exploring its vast and beautifully hand-drawn medieval fantasy world.
At the start of the game, you will need to create a character, defining their physical appearance and background by choosing their origin, social class (royalty, nobility, peasant), and profession (herbalist, tinker, farmer, actor, criminal, fighter, rat catcher), with each of these traits providing advantages and a disadvantages.
Your character flees a war-torn continent, arriving in this new place where they must start from scratch, so the first thing you’ll need to do is create a home and farm to survive and attempt to thrive.
Mirthwood’s open world, featuring hand-drawn graphics and immersive sound effects, is divided into six regions and three towns. During your adventure, you’ll face storms and illnesses while interacting with the characters around you. Additionally, there is a Sims-style interaction system where you can even insult characters—there’s nothing like making enemies wherever you go.
Mirthwood is set to launch this summer on PC. Eager travelers who wish to start their journey can wishlist on Steam and can play the demo now.
