Just Gobs of Cute Titles In The Works
The Wholesome Direct 2020 was today! If you’re looking for a little info on like, 50 different cute games, you can check out the video embedded below. The Great E3 Diffusion has begun in earnest, you guys. Of particular interest is Ooblets getting a ‘pretty soon’ release date, which is both frustrating and encouraging.
On a separate note: if you were hoping for a whole bunch of new Harvest Moon style farming sims, the next year is going to be amazing. Snacko Land and Ooblets both look like home runs. Meanwhile, Little Witch in the Woods, Book of Travels, Garden Story, and Calico all occupy different life sim niches. No matter what sort of chill, adorable vibes you’re looking for, they’re likely on display here.
The Wholesome Direct exemplifies a new divergence in games presentations and showcases. Rather than being divided by publisher or platform, this one encompasses a very specific vibe from top to bottom. While this is just the beginning, I think we’re likely going to see more examples of game shows broken up by narrow metrics going forward. Once again, definitely check out the Direct below if you’re looking for details on tons of cute games coming out sometime in the next year.
