Survival adventure game Smalland announced for Switch

Merge Games is making its survival adventure title Smalland for Switch, the company has announced. It will release sometime in 2021.

Here’s an overview of Smalland, along with a trailer:

What a beautiful garden, the sunbeams dapple as they reflect off the pond, the grass sways gently, a few insects buzz gently around the bushes. Zoom in. No, zoom in more. Just a little more. Until the trees become skyscrapers and even blades of grass tower over you, flowers become explosions of colour and a pond becomes a sea. The sight alone, is breath-taking. And then there’s the noise, it’s full of noise down here, a squadron of wasps zoom overhead, their buzzing drowning out the swish of the wind and the sing-song chatter of the birds.

Suddenly, this place is no Eden. Danger lurks behind every corner, insects the size of double decker buses, venomous dragonfly and dinosaur sized rodents after a morsel of meat. And that’s before the weather takes its toll. Raindrops that smash into the ground around you like grenades, winds that can whip you into the air and deadly hailstones dropping like a meteor shower from a disaster movie.

Drop into this minute adventure and make the world your own. Ride a wasp through a field of wheat, climb a colossal tree to the top of the world, run from a pack of vicious rats intent on you becoming their latest prey. Experience an action adventure in your back yard. Welcome to Smalland.
