Hobbit Homes adorn a 'disordered-chic aesthetic' through unrestricted layout designs for your Shire residence.
Living the life of a Hobbit in Tales of the Shire, an upcoming life sim inspired by Lord of the Rings, promises an organic decorating experience that sets it apart from other games in the genre. With a gridless decorating system, players can create a cluttered, cozy space akin to a Hobbit's home.
In a recent dev update, the developers revealed that decorating in Tales of the Shire will be gridless, allowing players to place items without limitations. This is a stark contrast to other games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, which use a grid for decorating, leading to an organized and sometimes artificial look.
The gridless system in Tales of the Shire encourages a "clutter-core" experience, where players can adorn their homes with an eclectic mix of items ranging from big to small. The absence of a grid also allows the creation of a more personalized and natural aesthetic, which is reminiscent of Bag End's cluttered look in the Lord of the Rings movies.
Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing, on the other hand, provide organized and grid-based decorating experiences, which may not accurately reflect the Hobbits' messy, cozy homes.
Tales of the Shire aims to bring something new to the cozy game genre by taking decorating to the next level. Players will have the freedom to create a truly unique home in the village of Bywater. The developers also showed off how the camera angles will shift to make decorating easier, with a top-down "dollhouse" view allowing players to move furniture and items before switching back to the normal camera angle.
The game is slated for release on July 29, after a delay earlier in the year. Tales of the Shire will be available on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, and can be wishlisted now on Steam. So, if you're looking for a relaxing game that allows you to live the hobbit life, be sure to check out Tales of the Shire.
