Building, Decorating, & Meeting the Neighbours as Sandbox Life & Farming Sim ‘Pixelshire’ Drops First PC Demo

Today Merge Games and developer Kappa Bits are excited to drop a brand new PC demo for sandbox RPG ‘Pixelshire’. Giving players their first taste of gameplay, the demo launches ahead of Steam Next Fest and allows players to experience the adorable pixel-art world of Arcadia.

Build your perfect town, meet new friends and invite them to stay a while. Gather resources, construct new homes and decorate your world inside and out to reflect your own personal style! 

The demo allows players to experience the first 5 days of Pixelshire, giving them a taste of terraforming, building, farming, fishing and much more.  

Cute farming? Check! Gorgeous pixel art? Check! Pixelshire might have a lot in common with cult hit Stardew Valley on the surface, but find out more about the many features and abilities that make this a unique town-building experience.  Narrated by Merge Games & Pixelshire Community Manager, Ben, discover terraforming and how you can overhaul your town from the ground up – literally!

Terraforming allows players to unleash their creativity and design the environment that holds your town. From digging long and winding rivers that weave between your customised homes, creating multi-tiered farms on raised areas of land, and much more.   Each NPC is specialised in a different profession. By building your relationship with the town’s Archaeologist, you can improve your terraforming abilities and purchase equipment that will help you shape the geology within your idyllic home.

A unique Sandbox Town-Building experience  Develop the perfect town and farm of your dreams with terraforming features that allow you to carve and craft the landscape  Build and decorate your own unique house.  Your town will grow with each citizen you encounter along the way.  Each villager has his own house that you must place and design.   Farm, master new hobbies, craft valuable goods and manage your own customized shop  Build your farm, plant, and grow crops and raise livestock.  Choose from a variety of trades. Farming, mining, woodcutting, fishing, cooking, brewing, and more are all waiting to be mastered!  Manage your shop and sell valuable items you find in your adventures, or goods that you produce.  Uncover the secrets of the continent of Arcadia  A whole continent ready to be explored, full of new adventures and hidden treasures.  Travel and fight your way through enchanted forests, mountain jungles, and many more.  Discover procedurally generated islands that shift each time you enter the magical mist.  Mine for ore as you descend into randomly generated dungeons.  Build Meaningful relationships  Become part of Arcadia’s community and make friends with the inhabitants, each with their own personality.
