Seattle, Washington—April 29, 2024—Indie developers Unwound Games and publisher Freedom Games are thrilled to announce that Echoes of the Plum Grove—a cozy farming simulator with a unique generational twist—is now available on PC via Steam. Launching during Steam's Farming Fest, this charming game invites players to build their farming legacy in a vibrant world.
Embark on an adventure to Honeywood, a town where new beginnings can lead to surprising outcomes! While Echoes of the Plum Grove embraces the cozy traditions of farming simulators, it adds a playful twist where every action has unique consequences. Beyond the familiar tasks of tending crops and raising livestock, players become part of a vibrant community where their choices shape the town's story and their own legacy.
Every interaction in Honeywood brings a chance for laughter, camaraderie, or even a little mischief. From attending festivals to playful banter with neighbors, you can extend a friendly hand or add your own cheeky twist to the town's dynamics.
With its whimsical charm and playful spirit, Echoes of the Plum Grove reinvents the farming genre, offering a delightful escape into a world where every seed planted promises a new adventure.
Highlights:
Generational Farming and Legacy: Cultivate your land from a humble plot into a thriving farm that not only sustains your family but evolves with them. Watch as your choices shape the future of Honeywood, influencing not just the community but the very lineage of your descendants, as they grow, age, and eventually pass on, leaving behind a legacy that echoes through time. While Echoes of the Plum Grove introduces innovative features, it retains classic farming sim elements like cooking, crafting, and farming.
Dynamic Social Tapestry: Interact with a constantly changing cast of NPCs who grow, change, and pass away, reflecting the natural cycle of life and death. Meet dynamic NPC's with unique personalities, jobs, and hobbies. Watch them converse, work, dance, catch bugs, and engage in community events. Forge deep relationships or playful rivalries. Your interactions with the community and the choices you make have lasting consequences, shaping how your descendants are treated and how the community evolves. Whether you choose to be kind, cheeky, or even feed them a "Death Cake," the world adapts to your choices. Honeywood is a living, breathing community where every decision has a ripple effect, making each playthrough uniquely engaging.
Survive, Thrive, and Beware of Diseases: Brace yourself not only for the challenges of shifting seasons but also for the impact of diseases that can threaten your community's survival. Managing these risks requires more than just seasonal preparation; it demands resilience and resourcefulness in overcoming health challenges that affect every aspect of life in Honeywood.
Customizable Experience and Accessibility: Echoes of the Plum Grove lets players tailor the game to suit their unique playstyle. Players can toggle features like diseases, hunger, sleep, aging, taxes, and more, allowing you to determine how "cozy" or "cheeky" you want your experience to be. While we recommend embracing all the elements, you can choose how you want to approach the game—the choice is entirely yours.
Experience the enchanting world of Echoes of the Plum Grove, where every decision impacts not just your farm but the entire community of Honeywood. Are you ready to build a legacy that lasts generations? Join us in Honeywood and start your journey today! ‘Echoes of the Plum Grove’ is now available on Steam USD on April 29th.
