Dear Villagers and Studio Plane Toast are closer tonailing down a release datefor their post-apocalyptic adventure,Caravan SandWitch. It will be out in September for PC, PS5, and Switch. The exact day hasn’t been announced.
Based on the name, if you asked me whatCaravan SandWitchwas, I would have guessed that it was a whimsical food truck game. Not so, as it’s actually a sci-fi, post-apocalyptic exploration game set on the planet Cigalo. It’s post-apocalyptic in the sense that humans ruined the environment, as we’re wont to do. There wasn’t an actual apocalypse there in the cosmic or religious sense.
Caravan SandWitchis billed as a “semi-open” world. It’s a journey, and along the way, you meet folks and help them with their problems. You drive across a “Provence-like” world in a van. There is no combat, no death, no timer. The art style and aesthetic execution look top-notch based on the trailers.
It’s been in development for a while, starting off as a small indie project that was described asan anti-Mad Max. There was also a demo released a while back. From what I hear, it did a good job highlighting the graphics and movement system, but ended abruptly before you got to any real meat. Hopefully, the meat is good.
We’ll find out next month whenCaravan SandWitchlaunches on PC, PS5, and Switch.
