WOW, that Wholesome Direct! I wasn't able to watch it live, but I just watched the replay, and oh my goodness. So many wonderful games and exciting news has come forward from the Direct... truly unbelievable.

Paralives, one of the life sims set to rival the Sims, (review incoming) has a collab with Unpacking and released updates with it that fixed some bugs and include group eating and teen romance, which is absolutely fantastic! I can't wait to get into game and see how things shake out.

The news that excites me the most is, of course, Fields of Mistria 1.0 release on August 5th! (!!!!!!!!!!!!) So soon!!!! For my favorite farming sim to finally be fully released soon... I'm breathless with excitement!

I think my favorite upcoming games mentioned were Dressmaker, (marked with a release of September 2026) a game where you can create dresses to the specifications of your clients' wishes, and Fourleaf Fields, a farming sim where you're "smaller than a carrot"! God, Fourleaf Fields looks so cute! There's a beta but it isn't accepting more playtesters at the moment, and it broke my heart a little, haha!

I'm also a bit excited about Spirit Crossing, a life-sim MMO where you meet spirits and build -- going to give the beta for that one a try with one of my best friends! I'll be sure to write even a small review on how that is, if I do end up sinking some hours into it.

Humblets looked super cute; a game where you craft and play cards with spirits and make animal friends! It seems to have multiplayer as well? Cutieful!

I'm also looking to give the Pelican Post demo, where you deliver mail and help solve villager problems as a pelican mailman, and Papaya Plaza demo, where you're a cat mayor of your own tourist town, a try, and probably write little reviews when/if I do!

Of course, we also got another teaser from Moonlight Peaks, the gothic vampire farming sim that's set to unlock on July 7th, and I'm sufficiently excited for that! I'm still a little chastened by the release price, but if it means everyone gets paid fairly and adequately, then I'm happy!
