Experience Ark of Charon during Steam Next Fest through an unrestricted demo before it blossoms into Early Access

Sunsoft :

Kōnan, Aichi, Japan - Prepare to cultivate your courage and embark on a journey to bring balance to the world in Sunsoft’s Ark of Charon, debuting at Steam’s upcoming Next Fest before it branches onto Steam Early Access on July 9th! This distinct blend of colony simulation and tower-defending arrives at Next Fest on June 10th with a demo that offers players the chance to experience the beginning of this dangerous journey ahead of release.  

Set in a harsh world where the life-bringing World Tree is lost, take on the role of a caretaker and nurture the tree’s colossal sapling. Alongside your quest to guide the sapling to its nursery, you can grow a settlement on the creature's back, constructing a sprawling network of buildings as you carefully manage the limited space along with the forces of gravity that can bring your housing hopes crashing back down.

Helpful familiars will inhabit your sapling-based settlement and fulfil an array of roles, from harvesting crops, foraging food, and mining for resources, all of which can be invested into new buildings as you expand your small enclave into a bustling fortress on the move. Relics of the past can also be harnessed to strengthen the colony and discover new ways of surviving the night.

This verdant voyage is no walk in the park, however. Along the way, you will encounter ferocious foes eager to nip the sapling's progress in the bud as they are drawn to the life forces it exudes. Build formidable defenses to shield your sapling from harm, and strategically deploy an assortment of towers and traps to weed out those who threaten your quest.

The Tree-ture List:

Ark of Charon arrives in Steam Early Access on July 9th, and keen caretakers will be able to get a taste of what’s to come with its upcoming Steam Next Fest demo and experience this bespoke blend of colony simulation and tower defense firsthand. Stay tuned to SUNSOFT’s official X (fka Twitter) and wishlist on Steam for more details on Ark of Charon ahead of release.
