You must shift and change your map, which is segmented into squares, to create a new world and help those that wish to aid you in your quest.
With heavy focus on creating a relaxing atmosphere, Carto is hand-drawn and has wonderfully tranquil music to match the lush and soothing environment. This is an indie adventure for (nearly) all the senses. It’s set to be a fun and emotional journey with a cast of whimsical characters to meet and help along the way.
Originally announced for Steam and Humble, Carto has also recently been announced to be released on the PlayStation 4 (hence, the trailer above).
No mention of Switch release yet, but I’ll keep an eye out. For more information on the game, see the publishers post in the PlayStation Blog.

Southfield, by Radical Forge, is a light-hearted farming sim with cartoony art and silly physics. The game takes place on the island of Southfield, which is no ordinary place. You’ll grow a variety of cartoony crops that have some chaotic effects. Customize and decorate your homestead to suit your tastes. Even automate your farm production for the best results!
You’ll need to learn to expect the unexpected, because the crops in Southfield don’t grow like you’re used to! They might bounce around, explode, play a tune, or even change their shape. Some might even float or shine a bright light, too. You can also combine crops to discover new outcomes, too. Complete quests by turning in crops and fill in your almanac with information you discover as your experiment with them!
Free up some of your time by automating your farm. Use trampolines, air cannons, and other toys and machines to create a production line. Then, go exploring and experience the fun physics of Southfield. Bounce around on mushrooms or flop around for some added fun. Just be sure to dust off your building skills and protect your crops. Night time brings Ruffians, who like to steal your hard work. Of course, you can also build your dream home, too. Build a simple wood farmhouse or go big with a stone castle. The sky is literally the limit!
This funny sandbox farm sim is listed on Steam where you can add it to your Wishlist. Although, Southfield currently has no release date available.
