Solo developer Immersiv Games reached out to me back in June to check out its non-linear adventure game, Arcadian Days, during Steam Next Fest, and it ended up being one of my favorite demos from the event. Now, Immersiv Games has revealed Arcadian Days hits Steam Early Access on September 16, and if you’re looking for something relaxing and unique to check out, I’d recommend giving it a shot.
During the Steam Next Fest demo, I was impressed by its minimalist, free-flowing exploration and sun-kissed visuals – throughout the demo, a gorgeous sunset created a painterly backdrop to my leisurely tasks, which included collecting plants for a crop or wood in a shed. The tasks I experienced weren’t too challenging, and completing them took little effort, but Immersiv Games’ self-proclaimed “non-linear” and “relaxing” makes me think this is by design. Though I love me some fast-paced, high-intensity action games, Arcadian Days’ demo reminded me that it’s equally as rewarding to check out a game that asks you to slow down and breathe.
I look forward to seeing how the Arcadian Days evolves during its Early Access period. Arcadian Days launches on PC via Steam Early Access on September 16.
