A TPP adventure game with farming and life sim elements. Everdream Valley has us playing as a child helping their grandparents run a farm, living through various, often fantastical adventures.
Everdream Valley is an adventure game with farming and life sim elements. It was developed by an independent Polish studio Mooneaters, its publishers being Untold Tales and VARSAV Game Studios.
Plot
Everdream Valley is set in the titular beautiful valley, where life is peaceful, happy and comfortable. We play as a young boy or girl spending their holidays on their grandparents' farm. The protagonist can help them run the farm, have various kinds of fun and even... become an animal.
Mechanics
Everdream Valley makes use of the third-person perspective (TPP). The game is set in an open world, featuring many different activities, the most important one being helping our grandparents run their farm. We must cultivate the land and nurture the plants, harvesting the fruit (and vegetables) of our labor. We also need to acquire resources used to maintain and expand the farm. Other than that, we'll raise farm animals and get to know the valley's inhabitants and their peaceful lives. The player' accompanied by a canine friend - one of ten available dog breeds, who helps us herd and guard animals or search for treasure. Ambitious players can also try befriending a cat, which, if it takes a liking to us (and feels like it) can help us as well.
Our holidays don't involve only farming work. We can roam the world and learn its secrets, sleep in a tent, build treehouses, collect insects, fish and hunt for treasures. The real magic only happens at night, when our character is haunted by dreams, during which we play as various animals. This lets us wander around and participate in mini-games, earning special rewards.
Technical aspects
Everdream Valley features high-quality, colorful, cartoonish, appealing visuals.

Everdream Valley is not flawless. There are some bugs, as is usual in this large game, where every little detail counts. But developer Mooneater is showing their commitment to the project by picking up the reported bugs and remedying them. That’s not to say that the bugs (aside from the ones that belong in the game) are plentiful; the only major one I encountered is that on Switch, you can’t move structures (yet). What I love far outweighs these things; I’m enjoying my time on my farm immensely. Plenty of different crops, fruit, animals and things to explore. The addition of the night visions, when you inhabit an animal’s mind, may seem like a strange thing to add, but it works. It gives Everdream Valley just a little extra!
Pure Nintendo: 6 / 10 by Kaelyn Daugherty
Everdream Valley has the potential to become a good farming game, and there were times when I really enjoyed myself just working on the farm and training my animals. But the short story, underwhelming ending, and gameplay issues were a turnoff.
