While yesterday’s Game Awards featured some amazing reveals of the biggest gaming brands' sequels and spin-offs, Producer Geoff Keighley and his crew also managed to introduce the audience to some smaller, almost indie titles that sometimes looked better than their big-budget brothers. FJRD Interactive's
Among Trees was one of those rare video games that went big during the Thursday show.
FJRD Interactive doesn't pretend that their
Among Trees is not a small title, but is has more to it than meets the eye - a vibrant wilderness world teeming with life. The game was officially announced at TGA with a short, but absolutely gorgeous teaser trailer, as the survival adventure will launch in early access on Steam sometime next year. The studio hasn't revealed
Among Trees' console ports just yet.
Among Trees' Steam page reveals that players will settle in a cabin, craft tools, grow crops and cook food, as the exportable world includes “
dense forests and dark caves.” Deadly beasts and formidable weather will oppose those who get lost among the trees, so it may sound similar to
The Long Dark, but it's set in a much more colorful, enjoyable to look at environments. Be sure to check it out below:
This is your little wood cabin. Located in the heart of a lush forest, the cabin is expandable: build new rooms and unlock additional game mechanics, including food cooking, plant growing, and tool crafting. Explore a colorful, breathing world that is filled to the brim with life. From dense forests to dark caves. Stay safe as you explore. Do what you need to do: scavenging for food, catching fish, and chopping down trees. Stay stealthy so that you can avoid the wild, deadly beasts that roam the forest. Stay warm during ice cold blizzards – and who knows what other dangers the night brings.
Among Trees is heading to Steam Early Access in 2019.
