Rokaplay and Silver Lining Interactive just came out with a launch trailer for Sugardew Island, which is inspired by Harvest Moon DS. The farming game comes to Nintendo Switch today.

All of the important details can be found in the following overview:

Inspired by the timeless magic of the Harvest Moon DS game, Sugardew Island – Your Cozy Farm Shop whisks you away on a cozy adventure where you can unwind, relax and enjoy hours of delightful gameplay running your own farm shop on a quiet and peaceful island. Gather resources, care for your animals and grow a selection of seasonal crops all while restoring harmony to the island’s Forest Folk through heartwarming quests!
Sugardew Island is an intentionally uncomplicated, cozy farm shop sim, crafted by a tiny indie dev team. We developed Sugardew Island so you can unwind, relax, and enjoy your beloved genre.
In a bygone era, humans, animals, and the Forest Folk lived in perfect harmony on Sugardew Island. A seed, nurtured by all islanders, grew into a magnificent tree. However, driven by greed, humans sought to fell the Harmony Tree, disrupting the balance. The sudden change in their nature forced animals and Forest Folk to flee, leaving the island in ruins. Now, a lone being awaits someone to restore lost harmony.
After a surprising storm and a shipwreck, your journey begins as you awaken on a deserted island. To continue your adventure, you must collect Harmony by selling goods to the forest folk, healing the island and overcoming the thorns.
Take care of your animals and your farm, sell your goods to the cute Forest Folk, upgrade your farm and fulfil small orders from the Harmony Tree to fill the tiny island with life again.
