I was curious if anyone else gained and interest in Roots of Pacha. I played the demo yesterday and found it really interesting. (Demo ends 6/20/22) It definitely has Stardew Valley vibes but the game is different.
You discover your food and then discover the seeds for you to plant and you get knowledge levels based on foraging and reaping and other things.
You contribute supplies you find to your clan and you clan members eventually come up with ideas they need your help executing such as a sundial to be able to tell the time or a stall to house livestock. Because of this very thing, I feel like the NPCs play a critical role in the game which is really neat and makes it feel more social. The Villagers have a friendship system to them, some are romance-able. Even animals have a friendship system because you have to tame them to recruit them.
There appears to be a cave system that has puzzle challenges in them. I don't know if combat is a thing, but I didn't see it in the demo.
I am not too crazy about the fishing mechanic but it is doable with time.
It seems you can pick different skills like Stardew did. The days feel longer than Stardew's so I didn't feel rushed and it does have a stamina system but it isn't harsh. Passing out at the end of the day isn't harsh either.
I thought it was a creative way to go about a farm sim and to me, it felt like it was well done. It has the launch date of 2022.
Now I was actually going to pick up Littlewood when my Steam Deck came in, but now I kinda wonder if I should go for this game instead pending it is deck compatible.
I asked about what platforms they are launching on through discord and they said:
