However, those who appreciate the low-stress town building and farming elements of New Horizons and Stardew Valley may find the survival and forage-heavy elements more demanding than other simulation titles. This could be good for players who find the lack of narrative direction in New Horizons dull and empty, making the complex story in Wytchwood more appealing. The combination of gaming and story elements in Wythwood allows it to reach outside the limitations of simple survival or simulation titles. Many of the NPCs in Wytchwood have a similar feel, with the player stumbling upon them while exploring new maps. While the gameplay of The Flame In The Flood is designed for hard-core survival gameplay, the spooky atmosphere and mystery-rich narrative offer a compelling reason to keep playing and make the efforts of crafting and survival more rewarding as the story develops. Using a raft and a slowly growing crafting menu, The Flame In The Flood follows the survival of a young woman and a rescued dog as they fight to find an evacuation point in a flooded, post-apocalyptic. During the journey, the player encounters numerous NPCs who help guide the story, as well as offer important advice on crafting and survival. Wytchwood also bears a striking resemblance to the unique 2D art style and survival gameplay of The Flame In The Flood. While the narrative of Wychwood gives players objectives to complete, it is easy to lose hours just exploring, crafting, and amassing goods in the colorful biomes of each location's map. Wytchwood is available now on PlayStation 5 (review platform), Playstation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One and PC. The process of foraging, crafting, and stack-crafting items encourages exploration to find new ingredients and unlock new recipes. This game could be seen as mundane and repetitive, with little combat or puzzle, however Wytchwood casts a spell on the player that will have you immersed into the art of enchantment for hours. Most potions and reagents are crafted using just a few items, with many recipes calling for other crafted items to increase the difficulty. As the old witch of the woods, explore a strange countryside. Wytchwood mimics this easy crafting system, and even takes it a step further, removing the need for crafting benches so players can create items anywhere they are exploring. Wytchwood is a crafting adventure game set in a land of gothic fables and fairytales. Just give me the game, a high-back winged chair, and a cozy spot by the fireplace, and I will be set for Day 15 of our Halloween Game Reviews. Of course, you had me with the cantankerous goat.
