Ashwood Valley, farming game with a magical twist, announced for Nintendo Switch

Today, RedDeerGames announced Ashwood Valley as another upcoming project for Nintendo Switch. The title launches later in 2025.

Ashwood Valley is a pixel art farming game with a magical twist. Throughout the adventure, you’ll play as a kid trying to save their sibling from being permanently transformed into a fluffy feline.

RedDeerGames provided the following details:

Draco and Luna were practising magical spells when a single misstep caused a surge of energy, tearing open a shimmering portal right before their eyes. As they cross the threshold to another world they find themselves in a ruined house, and a bit different. Here’s the moment for you to choose which sibling you’d like to play and the other… unfortunately, will end up as a cat!

Now, it’s up to you to explore Ashwood Valley, uncover its mysteries, and find a way to break the spell.

But first things first – let’s get this little house back in shape again and find lost tools. Thankfully, the spiderwebs are easy to clean, the holes in the floor are fixable, and the mice are friendlier than most!

After gathering tools and getting everything in order, you will be face-to-face with the pink spring of Ashwood Valley. The roads here are old and plains full of nature, but more folks will appear in the sibling’s way soon enough.

You will be able to meet the interesting inhabitants of the tiny houses all around the map. The chocolate-loving mayor Emma or Mr Olaf the fisherman with many exciting stories to tell included! Each of them will have their own questlines and important tasks for a resourceful farmer.

Wild animals that can be seen running around in groups can be petted and fed. Feeding them is key to seeing their unique forms – like mushroom chickens or strawberry cows!

The foods will come from your own garden, which you can nurture throughout the year. In the winter season, no planting can take up space, which means that you will be able to fully lean into foraging for goodies!

To truly befriend the animals, you will need to find the heart of the forest. It’s a magical place, one that might let you find out how to turn your sibling back to normal…
