Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles looks just like a game for fans of beautifully stylized worlds, and their more domestic activities.
Built by Prideful Sloth, a small team led by a former Activision producer and an artist and programmer from Rocksteady, Yonder sets your character on the fantastical island of Gemea. The island has been beset by an evil murk, which has filled its once-cheery residents with despair.

According to the Prideful Sloth team, the hero will help residents by contributing through talents like farming, crafting, cooking, fishing and brewing, which will help them build relationships and unlock rewards. There are also eight different environments to explore across Gemea, as the hero joins up with etheral Sprites, the only creatures who can dispel the encroaching darkness.
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles is due out next year for the PlayStation 4 and PC, and will be on display at PlayStation Experience in Anaheim, California this weekend.
