If there's one surefire way to make my ears perk up and my wishlist grow, it's by telling me a game is 'like Stardew Valley but...' There's already Stardew Valley but in the Stone Age. Stardew Valley but this time it's also Sailor Moon. Stardew Valley but there's also a murder mystery. And that's exactly what happened with Emberville, a game that sits at a comfy midpoint between Stardew Valley and Diablo.
Emberville's been in development for a while now, but co-creative director and popular streamer Ben Cassell, AKA CohhCarnage, announced earlier this month that the pixel-art action-RPG would be heading to Steam Early Access sometime in summer 2026, via a gameplay walkthrough.
