Zelda meets Stardew Valley in gorgeous free Steam download

With the weather getting colder, it is the perfect time to cosy up with a brand-new game and luckily, this fantasy exploration game is the perfect choice.

Set to release fully later this year, Night Stones is an upcoming fantasy RPG with nods to some other cosy titles such as The Legend of Zelda and Stardew Valley.

Fans of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom will love Nine Stones!

Developed by Advance Nine, players will find themselves awaking on the cosy island of Mythica where stones turn it from day to night.

Armed with your trusty glider and sailboat, you will have to venture into the wilds to discover all they have to offer and also find a way home.

To do this, you will have to befriend townsfolk, uncover hidden treasures, master magic and battle monsters in puzzle-based combat.

“Immerse yourself in a handcrafted island teeming with unique quests, quirky characters, and an emotional story. Glide from mountain peaks, sail through storms, and uncover hidden treasures in the Underworld,” reads the official synopsis.

Night Stones will allow players to customise their characters and level them up over the course of the game. Starting with just a stick, they will soon become a force to be reckoned with which is lucky as townsfolk will need their help.

Completing quests for NPCs will make them trust you a little bit more and their knowledge is invaluable when it comes to getting home.

Although you may get stronger physically, you will also need to outsmart your enemies in a series of challenging puzzles and combat. Use the environment and your inventory to your advantage and gain the upper hand.

Night Stones is available to try out right now courtesy of a free trial over on Steam.

This will give you the perfect opportunity to dive into the fantasy RPG ahead of its full launch later this year.
