Indie developer Plane Toast and publisher Dear Villagers have announced their upcoming game, Caravan SandWitch. The latter is a combat-free, narrative-driven adventure game set in a sci-fi universe with landscapes drawing inspiration from Provence, in the south of France, where the developers grew up.

​

Embark on a journey across vast landscapes in Caravan SandWitch, a captivating narrative-driven exploration adventure.

In Caravan SandWitch, embark on a journey across a Sci-Fi Provence-like world, driven by a mystery through your missing sister that unfolds with each step you take. Interact with the communities on Cigalo, help them with their tasks and meet new people along the way. Take your time to explore the world, whether in your van or on foot. Life is simple: no combat, no death, no timer, just you, your van, and the world.

Some of the key features of Caravan SandWitch include:

Explore a Provence-like World: Equipped with your van and an array of essential tools, you set out on a quest to find your missing sister. Upgrade your van throughout your adventure and explorations to open up new passages and ruins. From navigating treacherous terrain to uncovering ancient ruins, every step of your journey brings you closer to unraveling the truth behind your sister's disappearance.

An hopeful Post-Apocalypse: From a green planet to a desertic one due to human activities and sur-exploitation; discover on Cigalo the impact of humans and its population through your road trip. Meet the Reinetos, an old aboriginal species, the Robots left behind after the planet exploitation, the humans who stayed after everyone left for another planet, and the mysterious SandWitch. All of them live peacefully in Cigalo and help each other in this unwelcome environment.

Meet a diverse cast of characters: As you interact with the diverse characters you meet along the way, you'll come to understand that your community is your home. Help everyone and contribute your piece to the edifice, enabling everyone to live in harmony in an environment hostile to all civilizations due to over-exploitation.

Caravan SandWitch is slated to launch on PC, PS5 and Nintendo Switch later this year.

It’s got Sable vibes

Looks nice but I'm conscious that the trailer shows a lot of 'location' and not so much 'place'. Looks right now like there might not actually be a lot to do.

Nope, I do not like this one. It's too similar to a game I heard about like, two months ago that was made in Norway.

The caravan part is giving me Pacific Drive vibes, hope it's something similar in the vehicle regard of having to take care of it, upgrade it and needed to survive a lot of parts...
