このゲームについて

Once upon a time, woodland creatures built a trading post in forgotten Windermere Valley, but now it is the haunt of varmints, fairy lights, and mysterious rumors about why this village was abandoned.

To you, however, this is a hope for a new life. Recruit villagers and grow a community. Defend against the elements and forest tricksters. Thrive and celebrate the seasons’ traditions. Rebuilding won’t be easy, but you and your newfound friends are up to the challenge.

Build a Community

Play solo or co-op with your friends alongside village NPCs. The most curious folk come through Windermere Valley. Most are good creatures looking for a fresh start, each with their own story to share—if you befriend them.

Explore an Ever-changing World

Local superstition won’t keep you from exploring the surrounding wilderness for resources and treasure! But things change in Windermere Valley. The four seasons—with their rains and snow—bring unique challenges. And the way the woodland shifts and the strange creatures that come and go might make you believe the old legends.

Build Your Village

Harvest, fish, and farm. Tasks you’d rather not do? Your NPC villagers can take them on instead! Rebuild and decorate the homes among the roots of great trees. Learn to craft different styles. Cater to your villagers’ preferences and they will follow you to the end.

Features:

• Small-scale co-op multiplayer (online/lan) or singleplayer

• Play as a small, woodland creature in an enchanting yet believable world.

• Forage, farm, fish, craft, and build a fairytale village.

• Befriend (or offend!) memorable NPCs, each with their own personality and story.

• Overcome the challenges of weather and celebrate each of the four seasons.

• Explore a large valley where resources and points of interest change over time.

• Experience random events that make each player’s sandbox story unique.

• Choose a peaceable solution to each conflict or choose the path of combat!

AI生成コンテンツの開示

開発者は、ゲームでのAI生成コンテンツの使用について次のように説明しています。

The game build of Hawthorn does not include generative AI content. Due to lack of resources and funding, early marketing materials are in use that were created with a mix of generative AI and human art. However, NEARstudios is actively working to replace those promotional materials. Hawthorn will not ship with generative AI content.
