The new platform game "Hoa" available on console and PC

If you're looking to immerse yourself in a tranquil Studio Ghibli-style world, you'll need to check it out Hoa, the new fantastic video game from PM Studios and Skrollcat Studio that is now available on all platforms.

Hoa is an amazing platform puzzle video game, reminiscent of some of the classic Ghibli movies through its hand painted art, soothing music, and the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere it has to offer. Players will be able to experience the "magic of nature and imagination while playing the main character, Hoa, on his journey through breathtaking environments to where it all began. "

The beautifully animated version is now available in both digital and physical editions for PC, PlayStation consoles, Xbox consoles and Nintendo Switch. Digital editions of the game cost $ 14,99 while physical editions available at select retailers cost $ 39,99. Physical editions also include a digital soundtrack voucher and a postcard message from Hoa herself.

Like a platform puzzle video game, Hoa features exploration-based puzzles throughout the game for players to solve. As players make their way through the hand-drawn environments, the relaxing atmosphere coupled with the “organic rhythm of subtle storytelling” will draw them in as they are “intrigued by endless wonders”. Hoa encourages all players to embrace their inner child.

The game director is Son Cao Tun and the art director is Son Tra Le, both of whom are influenced by Vietnamese culture and beliefs. Between Le said Cablato earlier this year, “Essentially, there is a belief that people, places and animals have a distinct spiritual essence and that every little thing around us has meaning. Culture derives meaning from its relationship with nature and people try to live in harmony with the surrounding environment. The Vietnamese have a kind of inner ease that allows us to be calm and content. We also have a kind of silent resilience that helps us to orient ourselves in the most demanding things ”.

The Singapore-based Skrollcat Studio team (described as “just a group of creative art lovers coming together to create something beautiful”) remarked: “Hi! We still can't believe it Hoa is finally coming to the world. The game is out, which means that the joy and fun we had with this project now belongs to everyone. That's right, for us it is already an immense happiness, a dream come true. We hope for our little game that it's a nice little thing that warms your heart. For following Hoa's small steps of his early days, for coming with our little character in his little adventure, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. "
