If you want a cozy building-slash-JRPGing game, Pixelshire might be for you. Heck, you can try out the game’s demo right now. 

Developer Kappa Bits and publisher Merge Games have released a brand new PC demo for Pixelshire, which lets you play the first 5 days. You’ll get to learn how to terraform land, build the village, farm, fish, and a lot more.

Terraforming allows players to unleash their creativity and design the environment that holds your town. From digging long and winding rivers that weave between your customised homes, creating multi-tiered farms on raised areas of land, and much more.

Each NPC is specialised in a different profession. By building your relationship with the town’s Archaeologist, you can improve your terraforming abilities and purchase equipment that will help you shape the geology within your idyllic home.

Here are more details about what makes this more than a Stardew Valley clone, plus some features list:
