Islands, villagers, and jellies – oh my! Alchemic Cutie wraps them all into one cute package. Developers Vakio and Viridian Software along with slime-loving publisher CIRCLE Entertainment are behind this new wholesome adventure RPG and it is now coming to Nintendo Switch.
About Alchemic Cutie
The game is set on Wimba Island, a bright pixel world that reminds me a little bit of Littlewood or even Stardew Valley’s Pelican Town. The game features an open world to explore with beautiful areas such as beaches, forests, the main village, and a Jelly Shrine!
In Achelmy Cutie you will be taming slime-like creatures called “jellies.” There are over 4,000 visual styles for jellies and each jelly will have unique traits and statistics.
They also have needs like hunger, energy, and happiness. You can show off your jellies by entering them into different competitions, how adorable is that?
Befriend the many villagers of Aimba!
You can even meet Wimba’s villagers to form new friendships or rivalries, whatever your preference is. The town is filled with unique characters to meet and engaged with.
The World is yours to explore!
One exciting and unique feature is the world map to help you navigate, the map expands as new locations are discovered. What makes this feature unique to similar games is that, once a place has been visited, you can use the map to fast travel there.
No more running back and worth and loosing valuable time to get your daily tasks done!
Alchemic Cutie coming to Nintendo Switch and other Platforms!
Alchemic Cutie is coming to Steam and itch.io sometime this year as well as PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One! In celebration of PAX East a brand new trailer has been revealed. Check out the adorable game trailer below!

ConcernedApe or some may know him as Eric is the sole developer behind Stardew Valley. In a recent statement it was made known that he is currently working on two more games.
Eric was the sole developer on Stardew Valley since the game gained so much in popularity he has formed a very small team behind the game so that he could focus on adding new features to our beloved farming sim.
The latest 1.4 update touched nearly every aspect of the game and even added a new end-game mystery. The entire update was made available for free to everyone owning the game already.
A Game set in the Stardew Valley Universe
Eric is currently working on two more games, it is honestly hard to believe that he is still able to grab some snoozes at night. One of the two games is set in the Stardew Valley Universe, though not a farming game at heart.
Yes, I’m actually working on a couple of new projects. One takes place in the world of Stardew Valley, but is not a farming game. The other, I’m not 100% sure about the world yet, but it will tie into Stardew Valley in some way
Twitter @ConcernedApeHe also mentioned on Twitter that he tries to avoid revealing a lot of details about the games at this point, as he wants to make sure the core gameplay is set before revealing the game.
As humble as he is, he explains that:
I’m not setting out to make the next indie smash hit, I just want to make another game that I enjoy and am happy with. And to share some of my art & ideas with the world. If it becomes popular, I will be happy, but it’s not my focus
Twitter @ConcernedApeStardew Valley Support Continious
Even though Eric is hard at work making two more games he will continue supporting Stardew Valley with updates and bug fixes in the future. I am beyond excited to see what the two new games entail!
Witchbrook and Little With in the Woods
Witchbrook is considered the Stardew Valley of magic published by Chucklefish but not developed by Eric is slated for a release sometime this year.
Little Witch in the Woods is another adorable indie game where you play as a cute Witch!

Japan has become the status symbol for everything cute and adorable ( at least in the Animal Crossing World ) and this title made by a small indie development team known for Food Truck Pup is now making a life simulation game about Japanese Rural Life!
Game Start LLC is a small development team that recently caught my attention for their adorable mobile game Food Truck Pup, where you play as a pup and run a food truck in a village filled with other puppies, its adorable and tons of fun. You can read more about it here.
Japanese Rural Life
The small team has not revealed a lot of information as of yet. They did however tease us with a first screenshot that not only features an adorable art style but also gives us a first look at what the game may entail!
Game about Japanese Rural Life by GAME START LLC Farming, lots of farming!
The first screenshot of the game does feature what appears to be a garden and could hint at an extensive gardening focus in the game. You can already see that the little guy in the image is hard at work growing, carrots, turnips and more!
Fishy, fishy, fishy…
The little garden plot in front of the cabin also includes a tiny pond with a fish in it. Since this game is a life simulation game with a focus on farming I would think that this little pond is used to raise fish and farm fish!
Japanese Rural Life Release Date!
This article was updated with the most recent information on June 6th, 2021.
The developer recently lifted the curtain on the Japanese Rural Life Release Date and revealed some adorable details about a mountain candy shop, take a peak right here.

Sole developer behind Peaceful Days shared a little update with his fans this morning. The farming and life sim game coming to Steam needs a little bit more time before we can start playing it.
Peaceful Days is an adorable life and farming simulation game where you call the tiny village your home. Talk to the villagers, care for your farm and make yourself a vital part of the village. Peaceful Days is definitely a game to keep an eye on if you enjoy gems like Stardew Valley and Story of Seasons.
Peaceful Days slightly delayed
Nhat shared a tweet earlier this morning stating that he was “Sorry for the delay” as he is waiting on the translation team to finish proof reading the games story. Nhat further explains ” I hope I could release it sooner but it’s Lunar New Year here, it has been really busy for me and the translation team. I just added new contents while waiting for them to finish their proofreading.”
So even though the game will be a few days late, it is exciting to see that he took the time to implement a few more features into the game!

Here are a few of the best Stardew Valley like games available now for Nintendo Switch.
Having poured many hours into Stardew Valley myself, I can certainly say that I am always stoked to find a new game that follows the same theme. There is just something so peaceful and rewarding about running your own digital farm; tending crops, feeding and loving the animals, tilling and paving for fine tuning.
While Stardew Valley has certainly the standard when it comes to simple, cute and addictive; there are many games out there that bear some resemblence and certainly deserve their time in the light. So hold on to your straw hat, cuz these are some cute farming games that just might blow you away!

If you enjoy games like Story of Seasons, Stardew Valley and of course Harvest Moon you are sure to find a new home in Peaceful Days. The game is developed by Nhat Nguyen and is now finally ready to enter early access on Steam.
I have talked about Peaceful Days quite a few times as Nhat kept adding new features to the game, such as the milk delivery job where players will have to pickup milk and deliver the bottles to NPC houses around the town.
Peaceful Days has been carefuly crafted with a lot of attention to detail with multiple unique characters to meet, a lovely town to explore and plenty of things to do throughout the day.
It is everything you come to expect from a life and farming simulation game! Who doesn’t love to live in a wholesome village where all you have to do is garden, talk to people and explore all day long.
Peaceful Days Early Access
Nhat announced on twitter that after a long period of hard work the game is finally ready for Early Access. You can already wishlist Peaceful Days on Steam today, however the games Early Access version is not quite read yet and will become available in the very near future, ones a little bit more proofreading has been done Nhat says.
