Two New Adventures Are Coming to Switch – Echoes of the Plum Grove & Vertical Kingdom!

Grow your legacy in Echoes of the Plum Grove or build your kingdom to the sky in Vertical Kingdom!

[Seattle, Washington] February 13, 2025 — The wait is over! Echoes of the Plum Grove, the beloved cozy farming sim with a generational twist, is officially available on Nintendo Switch. Developed by Unwound Games and published independent publishing platform indie.io Echoes of the Plum Grove invites players to cultivate their farm, build meaningful relationships, and shape the future of their town—one generation at a time.

Alongside its launch, indie.io is also bringing another charming title to Switch soon—Vertical Kingdom, a cozy city-builder where players can only build upward, is now available for pre-order ahead of its February 27 release.

After earning “Very Positive” reviews on Steam, Echoes of the Plum Grove is now bringing its heartwarming yet unpredictable adventure to a new audience on Switch. From joyful festivals to life’s unexpected twists, every decision ripples through generations, making each playthrough a unique and unforgettable journey.

Check out now on the Nintendo eShop

Set on the vibrant island of Honeywood, Echoes of the Plum Grove is more than just a farming sim—it’s a living, evolving world where choices shape the future. Players begin their story as a single character, growing their farm, forging friendships, and making life-altering decisions that will carry forward through their descendants.

But life in Honeywood is not always predictable. A bad harvest, an unexpected illness, or even an unfortunate mushroom can bring an early end to a character’s journey. With each passing generation, the choices made—whether cultivating crops, managing relationships, or facing unexpected hardships—will determine the fate of the family’s legacy.

Key Features:

• A Generational Farming Legacy – Grow a thriving homestead that carries across multiple generations.

• A Living, Dynamic World – Interact with a vibrant cast of NPCs, each with their own lives, jobs, and stories.

• Survival & Adaptation – Manage changing seasons, illnesses, and the unpredictable nature of life.

• Tailored Gameplay – Customize your experience with flexible settings, adjusting survival elements like hunger and taxes.

Unwound Games has recently announced a development roadmap for Echoes of the Plum Grove in 2025! Players can look forward to exciting new additions, including two new characters—a mysterious witch and Old Man Rickett, a beloved stretch goal from the game’s successfully backed Kickstarter campaign—as well as tree tapping, thunderstorms, and more.

Echoes of the Plum Grove is available now on the Nintendo eShop for $19.99 USD, with a 10% launch discount for a limited time. Players looking to start their farming legacy in Honeywood can grab the game at a special price—don’t miss out!

More indie.io Games Are Coming to Switch!

Alongside today’s launch of Echoes of the Plum Grove, indie.io is excited to announce that Vertical Kingdom, developed by solo-developer studio Farlight Games Industry, is officially coming to Nintendo Switch! This cozy city-building game challenges players to build only upward, offering a fresh take on the genre. Pre-orders begin today, February 13, on the Nintendo eShop, ahead of the full launch on February 27, 2025.

In Vertical Kingdom, players construct beautiful, towering cities using a deck of building cards, carefully stacking structures higher and higher to expand their kingdom. Unlike traditional city-builders, Vertical Kingdom focuses entirely on vertical growth, creating a charming yet strategic experience that’s easy to pick up and endlessly satisfying to master.

Key Features of Vertical Kingdom

• Build Ever Upward – Construct a thriving city that reaches for the sky, stacking structures to expand your kingdom in a completely vertical format.

• Card-Based Construction – Manage a deck of building cards and strategically place structures to optimize resources and growth.

• Endless Replayability – Experiment with different stacking strategies, unlock new building cards, and see how high your kingdom can grow!

Vertical Kingdom will be available for $19.99 USD on the Nintendo eShop, with a 10% pre-order discount running, and is currently available on PC via Steam.
