We’ve seen a great deal of Ghibli-like indie video games this year, however this may be the most loyal one yet.
Vivarium, which just recently debuted throughout the Wholesome Snack displayis a retro anime-inspired experience video game that I can’t stop considering. As quickly as I saw the trailer for this one, I instantly thought about Studio Ghibli’s Kiki Delivery Service or My Neighbor Totoro – primarily due to the video game’s small-town feel and character styles.
We do not understand much about this upcoming indie yet, as this is its very first trailer and it does not rather have a Steam page. What we do understand, however, is that a New York-based television animator is dealing with it and will concentrate on life within a strange terrarium, which can be discovered in a shabby home in rural America.
In regards to gameplay, it appears like Vivarium will play like all the best experience video games and will have gamers exploring their environments and contributing to a journal. It’s difficult to understand what the remainder of the video game will require at this early phase however we can see the playable lead character’s journal includes the tabs: ‘Status,’ ‘Inventory,’ ‘Map,’ ‘Log,’ and ‘System Menu’ – which may offer you more of a concept of what we’ll get up to.
In one scene in the trailer, we can see a watch tracking the time and what appears like a shovel geared up to the character. There’s likewise a store that appears to offer tools, total with a friendly store owner, and some expedition – which provides Vivarium a practically Stardew Valley or Animal Crossing: New Horizons kind of ambiance. There’s a great deal of secret surrounding this video game and I can’t wait to see more of it as advancement advances.
