Surprise! Snacko, a farming cat-venture, is OUT MEOW in Early Access on PC!

Snacko will also bring its charming farming, island curses, and fluffy cows to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 in 2024!

Edmonton, Canada — December 6, 2023 — Today, during the Wholesome Snack: The Game Awards Edition showcase, developer Bluecurse Studios and publisher Armor Games Studios announced that the highly anticipated farming cat-venture Snacko surprise launched today in Early Access on PC!

 

In Snacko, you play as Momo, a former big city kitty sick of the monotony of their 9-to-5 office job. In the search for something more fulfilling, Momo and their best friend, Mikan, trade the bustling metropolis for easy, breezy island life. However, not everything is as it seems, and with a mysterious curse, monsters, shrines, and even an ancient goddess lurking beyond the peaceful exterior, they’ll discover there’s more to this place than they could’ve ever imagined.
 
Join Momo and Mikan as they rejuvenate the ruinous island by raising crops, exploring distant lands, and building, decorating, and customizing homes and furniture as they please, all to grow a hopeful community of charming characters and make the island of Snacko their comfy new home.
 
Features:

• Did Someone Say Fluffy Cows? - Fill your farm with cuddly animals and delicious crops across each season, and explore the island beyond to find even more resources to cook and craft with, or give as gifts!


• Revitalize a Ruined Town - Using robust crafting and building mechanics, grow and decorate your budding community any way you please, and invite a cast of unique characters to live there.


• Play Your Way - Delve into the island’s farthest reaches to lift a curse... or don’t, and spend your days farming, fishing, exploring, and building using the game’s extensive decorating and design options!


• Explore a Beautiful World - Go beyond your farm to a mysterious forest, snowy plains, and more, all brought to life with an original soundtrack by composer Dale North.

Adorable New Trailer for Snacko

26 MAY 2020 - Publisher Armor Games Studios are delighted to announce they have partnered with developer Bluecurse to reveal the latest announcement trailer for Snacko - a cute Stardew Valley-like adventure sim in which you join adorable kitties, Momo and Mikan as they start out their new life on a seemingly deserted island.

Showcased via Wholesome Direct 2020, players will rebuild a community they can design and decorate as they please, and of course, farm, fish, and beyond, all at their own pace.

Step into the paws of Momo and her best friend Mikan as they arrive on a deserted island with a mysterious past to try to make a place they can call home. Even with some reluctant help from curmudgeonly caretaker Nobu, these kitties have their paws full trying to rebuild the island from scratch. As Momo, with Mikan’s help, you’ll grow crops, take care of animals, go fishing, and more, while choosing who to invite to help populate your budding village, and maybe discover the secrets of the island’s past along the way.

Snacko launches on Kickstarter Tuesday 26th May to help build a passionate community around the game who can provide valuable feedback throughout the development process. Drawing inspiration from, and building on, classics like Rune Factory, Story of Seasons and The Legend of Zelda series, Snakco hopes to take players on an unforgettable farming adventure.

Snacko is being created by Bluecurse Studios, a husband and wife game development team based in Canada. Artist and community manager Erisa said:

"We both had no idea that our fun little side project would grow into such a large and complex part of our lives.

"It's been an amazing experience to work on something that is 'just for us' that turned into a game that many are looking forward to. We can't wait to share more of the game with everyone!"

Snacko is live on Kickstarter now and available to wishlist on Steam.
