iam8bit and Nano Park Reveal Slice-of-Life RPG Petal Runner

Upon seeing the reveal of Petal Runner at tonight’s Day of the Devs showcase, one thought immediately came to this writer’s head: “Good lord, that looks like the coziest game possible so far.” Coming from iam8bit and Canadian developers Nano Park Studios, the game is a slice-of-life RPG about a courier who delivers virtual pets to people that are literally powered by flowers and claibrated by playing minigames, with the help of a talking fox-like companion, all presented with a cute anime style in an homage to old-school Game Boy Color games, down to the 8-bit pixel art with heavy doses of lavender. It’s practically the gaming equivalent of a weighted blanket and the world’s largest mug of hot cocoa, enjoyed in front of the toastiest fireplace possible. It almost feels like it heads toward dangerous levels of coziness, as if it were the comfy chair. If you don’t believe us, check out the trailer below and see what vibes it gives you.
