Just starting to make a name for itself Hawthorn, is rising as a remarkable project in the gaming world. Behind it is Near Studios, which consists of experienced developers who have worked at studios such as Bethesda, BioWare and Naughty Dog, giants of the gaming industry. This RPG, which has already managed to attract the curiosity of players, continues to gather support on Kickstarter by bringing together unique mechanics such as "storytelling, craft and seasonal cycle".
Check Out Different Forest Animals From Mice to Owls
Hawthorn is designed as an open-world RPG that offers players an unconventional experience, allowing them to control a variety of forest animals, from mice to cute owls. Players will struggle to rebuild and bring life to a charming town called Windermere, either alone or with friends. The game's core mechanics include cultivating the land by farming, gathering various resources from the environment, and using these resources to produce different crafted goods. In this way, players will not only embark on an adventure, but will also enjoy building and developing their own communities.
A New Beginning in the Abandoned Windermere Valley
The Windermere Valley, where the game takes place, was once a vibrant settlement, but is now an abandoned and overrun region. However, for players, these forgotten lands represent a hope for rebirth from the ashes and a new life. Community building, participating in seasonal events, and tackling the challenges of nature together are core elements of Hawthorn’s gameplay. Each season in the game will present players with new challenges, but also new opportunities. This dynamic seasonal cycle will ensure that the game world is constantly changing, always offering players something new to discover.
Atmospheric Narration and Random Events
Hawthorn draws attention not only with its gameplay mechanics, but also with its atmospheric narrative and different perspective. Players will be constantly interacting with random events in the game world, changing weather conditions, and surprises brought by the seasonal cycle. This dynamic structure aims to provide players with a unique and fresh experience in each game session. In this respect, Hawthorn will offer dynamic gameplay that encourages exploration, while also allowing players to spend time in a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere.
Full Audio Good News from Doug Cockle
Another development that makes Hawthorn even more interesting is the involvement of famous voice actor Doug Cockle in the project. Cockle, who plays Geralt in The Witcher series, announced that if the Kickstarter campaign exceeds its $2 million goal, the game will have a full voice-over main story. Cockle will voice an important character in the world of Windermere, and will be joined by other familiar and talented voice actors. This feature will significantly increase the depth of the game's narrative and the atmosphere it will offer to the player. Hawthorn is preparing to bring a new breath to the RPG genre with its original gameplay, impressive story and famous voice cast created by old wolves, and is already taking its place among the highly anticipated productions.
