Mithwood Demo Out Now. The Storyteller And Mortality Revealed
Prepare for the immeasurable journey ahead and choose your own path in the upcoming medieval fantasy RPG Life-Sim Adventure Mirthwood. Taking part in the Steam Survival Crafting Fest, Bad Ridge Games today released the first ever public demo and you can play now!
The Storytellers
Mirthwood will feature AI Storytellers (Not that kind of AI) that generate in-game events as you play, from heatwaves in Summer to travelling merchants. The selected Storyteller directly influences the game's difficulty. Depending on your preference, you could opt for a dark survival experience or a laid-back adventure and farming simulation.
Similar to one of the core insirations behind the game Fable and Rimworld, The Storytellers will be a way of keeping each playthrough of the sandbox unique and interesting. One event may end up with a man from the town being infected by lycanthropy, do you choose to end the werewolf? or walk away? Should you walk away, you may return to find the town rather empty…
Mortality
Bad Ridge Games has released a new development blog detailing how Mirthwood Simulates a complete medieval fantasy world. NPCs are mortal and can die from famine, illness and severe wounds. These NPCs liove out their lives as real people and will have tangible goals like growing crops and earning money from trade, which impact the game's economy.
Mortality paves the way for organic stories; you can build relationships with characters that may die, offering opportunities to intervene. But not all lives can be saved. When NPCs die, new immigrants replace them, leading to fresh friendships.
Mirthwood instills a captivating sense of adventure while allowing you to choose your own path through its expansive world. Mirthwood is set to launch summer on PC. Eager travelers who wish to start their journey can wishlist Mirthwood on Steam today.
