Fantasy life sim Fields of Mistria is getting a Steam Next Fest demo tomorrow, allowing us to try our hands at exploring, farming, fishing, magic, and more early.
With hundreds of hours in Stardew Valley and a love for all things magical girl-related, I've had my eye on Fields of Mistria since its debut during last year's Wholesome Direct. The whimsical indie gem blends all of the core cozy game mechanics familiar to veterans of the genre with a magical witchy world - you can craft, farm, fish, mine, raise animals, and romance one of 12 quirky marriage candidates, all while practicing magic. Developer NPC Studio calls the upcoming sim a "spiritual successor" to games like Harvest Moon from the 90s, and it's not hard to see why.
