Spice Link’s Awakening up with a bit of Animal Crossing flair, and you may just end up with Littlelands. The whimsical indie gem headed by just two developers, Rafael Martín and Kyle Creamer, offers a magical world in which you can do a bit of everything - catch some creepy crawlies with your bug net, craft yummy dishes, explore for treasure, farm juicy berries, fish, forage, and more. In other words, Littlelands packs a powerful punch full of every cozy game essential alongside Zelda-esque combat and exploration.
Littlelands is also as lively as it is cute, boasting a populated world in which you converse with a diverse cast of characters, discover each one’s story, and help them with tasks along your adventures. You’ll probably want to avoid any goblins, though - they’re small but you shouldn’t underestimate their love of loot. Your own character, which devs aptly describe as “a big-headed little youngster,” is completely customizable, too, from their hair to the color of their clothes.
If it all sounds as intriguing to you as it does me, you can hop into the indie adventure and try it yourself soon. As shown during the Wholesome Direct today, the game’s demo will be available to play for free onSteam.

After spending years with her head in various fantastical realms' clouds, Anna studied English Literature and then Medieval History at the University of Edinburgh, going on to specialize in narrative design and video game journalism as a writer. She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
