Two-person indie studio Bad Ridge Games announced that medieval life sim RPG Mirthwood is launching September 11th for PC. A demo is currently available over on Steam as a part of Steam Sim Fest if you’re interested. Bad Ridge says Mirthwood has several key inspirations, including Fable, Stardew Valley, Rimworld, and The Sims – a veritable “who’s who” in RPGs and simulations.
Mirthwood is focused on player agency and allowing players to lead the medieval life of their choosing. The world is a full simulation, with NPCs going about their own routines, reacting to your actions and choices accordingly, while a morality system makes both good and evil paths (or a mix) possible. The game will launch with a full main storyline, lots of side quests, and random events, with Bad Ridge planning years of future support.
