New Steam Game is Stardew Valley With a Unique Project Zomboid Twist

Given how iconic Stardew Valley has become, it’s no surprise that indie developers often look to it for inspiration. ConcernedApe’s farming sim is essentially the king of its genre, nailing its day-to-day activities just as much as it does everything else. Its charming pixel art visual style is easy to replicate, if hard to master, and the massive number of gamers with a fondness for the cozy genre gives any attempt at a cozy game like StardewValley a built-in audience. However, one upcoming Steam game that resembles Stardew Valley, Ashfield Hollow, has an interesting twist: deep survival mechanics due to a horde of zombies.
